Happy Sunday Everybody, Rere's baby might be died but the work continues
*********************************
That is how it works Mr President
INT. RERE’S OFFICE- MORNING
(Rere walks towards her office, as she is about to open the door when she sees Roti walking towards her)
Roti: (in an upset tone) where have you been Rere?
Rere: (rolls her eyes) there it comes (she enters her office, Roti enters with her)
Roti: you haven’t given me an answer
Rere: (sits down) I told you I had something to take care of
Roti: what could be more important than the forthcoming election? Your phone number has not been available for the past 2 days and your husband gave me a bullshit answer that your mom is in town
Rere: my mom was truly in town
Roti: bullshit! You are not in good repo with your family right now and I know when you are lying Rere
Rere: how was the meeting with the Party Executives?
Roti: oh now you want to know about the party you bailed on
Rere: (in a loud voice) can you stop been sarcastic and tell me what I need to know
A voice: it was terrible
Rere: what? (She looks up and sees the President. She stands up immediately) Mr President
Nate: (he enters) where have you been for the past two days
Rere: I had to take care of something
Nate: what could be more important than the forthcoming election?
Roti: I have been asking her that, maybe she will tell you
Rere: tell me about the meeting
Nate: they threw it out
Rere: the three agendas?
Roti: yes, they said they can’t put their money into what it is not realistic
Nate: how are you going to fix this Rere?
Rere: what is Ariyo suggesting we do?
Nate: he has no suggestion, we are all waiting on you. (Rere sighs and rubs her eyes in frustration) so what do we do?
Rere: we do nothing
Nate; we do nothing? What does that means?
Rere: you continue your election without any agendas
Nate: How can I continue my election without any agenda?
Rere: you said they threw it right?
Nate: yes
Rere: do you want to create new agendas?
Nate: of course not
Rere: then you continue without your
agendas, what else do you want to do?
Nate: I came here to tell you to do what you do best
Rere; Mr President, we don’t have the time or the resources to blackmail and bribe over 30 party executives into endorsing your agendas
Nate: but we can find the resources
Roti: yes but the resources can be put into better use
Nate: so you agree with her?
Roti: I don’t know what she has in mind but she is right
Nate: so we do nothing
Rere: about the party endorsing your agendas yes but until the real campaign starts, you meet people
Nate: what kind of people?
Rere: the Kings in Nigeria, Student Union Government of every fucking Nigerian School, Different Artisan Association in Nigeria, Iyalajas and Iyalojas in Nigeria (the Head of Market Women in Nigeria)etc. you are going to be meeting these people for the next three months. Tell them what they want to hear, promise to do what they want, at the same time and tell them about your agenda. Make them believe that this agendas is the best thing that will ever happen to them. When the campaign starts, then you reintroduce your agendas to The Party. By that time, the people will accept it and support you, then The Party w….
Roti: (cut in sharply) will have no other choice than to accept it and then the resource that would have been use to bribe the Party Executive will be used in keeping this people happy
Rere: that is how it works Mr President
Nate: alright I like that plan and I want it put into motion immediately (he stands up)
Roti: yes Mr President
Nate: you two make a great team
Rere: (smiling) of course we do
Roti; I will escort you out
Nate: I came in disguise because I don’t want unnecessary attention.
Roti: alright then (Nate opens the door and leave) I will inform Ariyo about the plan
Rere: okay (Roti leaves)
