The intentions of Mr. President are perfect and must prevail.” “I beg to contradict Honorable Senator of the Federal Republic.” “Contradict the purposes of Mr. President? Are you out of your senses?” Senator Ogundipe bellowed at my husband.
“I am so sorry if that’s how it would seem Senator.” My husband responded calmly, apologizing. “You mean you want to shatter the consensus of the Grand Democratic Party?” “As the Chairman of the Nations Electoral Commission, I cannot work according to the President’s directives as far as they contradict the foundational tenets of this commission. I must adhere strictly to the fundamental principles, Honorable Senator. There are no two ways about it.”

The senator said to my husband, shaking his head in annoyance. “If that’s the price of integrity, I gladly accept it as my fate.” My husband said without much ado. “Mr. Raymond, do you know what you are saying?” “I mean every one of my word, Honorable Senator.” “Get out from my office before I incur the wrath of the president.” “I’m really sorry if my words have grossly infuriated you Senator, I’m only trying to work according to laid down principles.”
“Principles my Sh*t, get out from my office, you ingrate.” Instead of arguing further, my husband went out before the Senator invited the security to embarrass him out of his office. Two weeks after, my husband was the topic of all the headlines in all the National dailies. By the grace of God, he was the only survivor in an assassination attempt.
The Vice-Chairman of the Nation’s Electoral Commission who was with him in our house was shot dead in my presence. What saved my husband was that the assassins mistook his deputy for him. I was talking with him and they thought he was my husband. He was the only one shot. The rest of us were threatened but no bullets penetrated our bodies.
