Dear Chairman,

It was about this time eight years ago, wasn’t it? I’m talking of course of when you took what was perhaps the most audacious, some may even say, most controversial political decision of your career at the time to run for the Presidency.

When the new Osun State governor, the dancing-Senator now turned dancing-governor, Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, announced that Osun State Government House and properties, including items such as vehicles, had been looted, I was not surprised. Pictures of how the Deputy Governor’s and other staff quarters were stripped to the bone later surfaced to confirm the allegation.

A notification popped on my screen minutes after the NDLEA Twitter space was declared open for questions and observations on a fateful Friday. For the uninitiated, NDLEA Twitter Space is a weekly broadcast I co-host with Mr. Femi Babafemi, the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, every Friday on the agency’s official Twitter handle, @ndlea_nigeria, to broaden public enlightenment on drug-related issues in Nigeria.

IN the court of public opinion, Barr. Sullivan Chime, the former governor of Enugu State, is standing trial. He is—one is compelled to admit, loved by many. Sullivan is increasingly being regarded, and rightly so, as the father of “New Enugu.” His days in office is recalled with overpowering fondness for glaring reasons. There is a story I told a friend – how we felt like bush men in 2014, when we came out from the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, to attend a law dinner at De Dome Event Centre. We were campus-restricted young students. It was night and Enugu looked so sparklingly lighted and breathtakingly beautiful that we exchanged shy glances, like hunter-gatherers suddenly thrust into the wonders of civilization. Mark you, I had moved from Anambra state, Onitsha to be exact. That was Sullivan’s Enugu state, a city on a hill; perhaps evidence that good governance is possible.
