They sat down and were immediately served wine “you have an exquisite home General” Zeus said “Thank you” ‘Abuja is an exquisite territory where our government has been spending our billions” “I can’t agree less” General replied “General I know you must be wondering why I sort your attention” “It’s been a long time” the General said; Zeus smiled and crossed his legs “General, you and I know the present situation of this nation and how it has affected Nigerian and that includes you and I” “What makes you think it has affected me?” General asked “O please General don’t lie to me, I know the President is your rival and Dr. Jason your alley, even though you warned him not to join the ADP” “What do you know about Rivals and Allies?” “Everything General, Everything” “(Chuckles) For your own good, it’s better you don’t make a rival of your President because you wouldn’t live to tell the tale” General said “He became my rival the day he killed my father” Zeus said “Hmmm, your President has killed a lot that he wouldn’t remember” “No No No, this one he will remember till death” Zeus said raising his finger “And why is that?” “Because it’s Dr. Jason Heineken” Zeus said and the General’s eyes widened in disbelief “What?” he said “General, I need you on my side” “You are Dr. Jason’s son?” he asked “I am” “You were in Abu Dhabi” “5 years ago General” “So you came back to avenge your father’s death” “My father had genuine plans for the nation which was cut short by so called friends who had selfish ambitions” “I am not just here to avenge but to also eliminate rotten leadership forever” “I see you have a vision” “I need you on my side General; I know you control the Nigerian Army even at your retirement” “The military has no place in government crisis” General said “This is not a government crisis, General” “Then name it” “The time has come when the leader of yesterday will leave the throne of authority for the leaders of today. There will be no negotiation because we will be taking it by force and with blood” “Is this what I think it is?” General asked “Yes it is, General” General stood up and clapped three times “I have waited for a man like you, who is not afraid to take the mantle of authority back and restore it…
