That was Travor, the only man from another party during his regime as the governor. He was the only man who refused to pay past governors and caretakers who were owing the pensioners and workers. The only man from another party in the upper house. The only man who single-handedly questioned the budget implementation process that got amended of late. The first African politician to be considered before then to be put in the world book Guinness of record. The only man who say his mind and stays neutral to ruling party’s plans to defraud the masses. Apart from that he stopped the move for the purchase of jets for the vice president and the first lady pet project children and women in line for change initiative. It was one of the many tricks of African first ladies to siphon money from the government purse to their private account. He wanted it stop. he would be remembered for many things.
          “ Which changes?” asked Mr. President
          “ Change to a new crop of mind. New society where everybody would know and belong. A new dispensation” he replied.
          “ And who decides on that”
          “ What matters is not who decides, but whether it is defined. The upper house has sent their ruling in this matter. It is purely defined in our law, the law of intellectuals, sensible law of the society, which you must obey and with your level of exposure in politics and education, to subvert it is criminal”
          “ All thinking must start from this” another man of the party puts in.
          “ To continue with the baton of power is something in the jurisdiction of us all party members and those outside to decide. The choice we are making as a nation should be one. All sentiment on this should be one”.      
 
          “ This could be a better day for us all, if this rule is kept at its procedure. We believe that there will be smiles in many faces and recollection of past things would go”. Ankara puts in support against the policy.
“ This statement you made to my belief is a devise to engender bad relations between the races who have lived in common belief”
“It is not true His Excellency. Anyone playing on that is deceiving himself. We are only fighting a good fight.” Mr. Zach replied.
“ I know for your part that the act was carefully pre-meditated to bring embarrassment upon the government”. Mr. President said standing up and leaving the hall.
It was the last gathering. It was over. Mr. President had acceded to relinquish in a short time. The agenda henceforth became a crash.
It was the only thing Mr. Zack could do in his life before his death; he could die a happy man. It was only the propensity to fight in a way short of total revolution that Mr. Zack was noted for, to express the mind of the public against bad governance that kills through the media and through various spells of detention.

It was more eight years since Mrs. Zack finally accepted to be married to Mr. Ribadau. Things could never be the same again. Time sped fast. The whole children had gone abroad and studied on Ribadau’s sponsorship. Pius had grown to a young man in his late twenties and his brother Uka in his early thirties. They were now young men. Uka had returned with much learning after these years of studies with fresh knowledge and willpower to change the face of things in the country. With his mother on the side of policy makers, he could go to any length in politics.
 Pius had finally decided after much pressure from his friends to pick talk with Uka who arrived the state from England. Many who knew him to the root thought he had come to stretch the family’s resources together to the uttermost if it was remaining. He was yet to be intimated or at most to be trained for the rules guiding closeness to Mr. President and African political life. He was unmindful of the fact that he would have to lick Mr. President sour or remain silent for all his earthly life, never achieving anything despite his great learning.
          He had been away for a whole ten years less one or more, shortly after his father’s death, studying physics in London. His two younger brothers had joined him earlier and they too made a mark in their different fields of studies as best students from Africa. They had been made to know everything, everything in their various field of learning. They had gotten many certificates from their first degree to post higher degree, carving niche from many fields of studies.
