The News was interrupted by the switching of the TV made by The Chief of staff (Yakubu musa) who entered without notifying him

"Mr. President you're not supposed to be watching this"

"(Startled) Oh God you scared the hell out of me... How long have you been watching me " Mr. President asked walking back to his seat

The chief of staff exhales and walks forward "Mr. President am so sorry to have startled you But I know you're very concerned about the warfare of the people and for the country but I want you to know that that's why we have people out there; the security agents"

Shocked at his statement Mr. President turns back and stares at him for sometime before uttering "(scoffs) Okay. Now tell me, As the Chief of Staff appointed to me, for how many weeks are we going to wait for an answer. (pointing to the TV). This attack was made last week and up till now; there seems to be no report on my desk... All I see is The IGP making speeches...To fool who? Me? (Chuckles) You see musa you've been with me for years and you know how I feel when something's right and not right"

"Mr. President; The security agencies are making effort on how to catch those behind this attacks but it will take time" Chief of staff replied

Mr. president sighs before walking towards the doors having the intention to speak to the guards... meanwhile the chief of staff stares at him as he stood up from his seat approaching the door "Could you pls give us a moment....Thank you" he said to the guards who walked some meters away his office while he closed the door; walked up to his favorite sofa chair instead of his presidential seat💺. Seeing this, The Chief of Staff joins him

"(Sighs) Musa when I was appointed The President of This republic, my aim is to serve the nation diligently. Take out corruption, provide free education for kids and better life for the citizens of Nigeria but on my arrival; I see that it would be difficult to accomplish it... Why? Because the government appears to be compromised. Meaning I have no one to trust even my wife. But Musa you have worked with me back in Katsina and due to your loyalty, diligence. I can say I trust you. Without thinking twice I made you My Chief of Staff. Now I want you to show me that am making the right choice by trusting you."

The President words sank into Yakubu as he thinks for a moment before uttering "(sighs) Mr. President I um don't know what to say but um.... with uttermost sincerity am so grateful for this opportunity you've given onto me and I assure you before the end of the hour; you get a better report" He replies as he stands up ready to leave

"But Mr. President I want you to take it easy. This country needs a leader like you at this time of the hour" He advised

"(smiles) Thank you musa but am counting on you. Don't fail me" Mr. President said

"I won't Mr. President" Chief of staff smiley said as he walks out of the office walking down the hallway as he takes his cell phone from his pocket ready to make a phone call 📱📲"Yes this is the Chief of staff to the President. I'll like to speak to the Director in charge of FBI Headquarter. Tell him it's urgent" The chief of staff said as he takes a left turn walking straight to his office
