Letter From The President: The cop & the dons

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,
I am elated. But I am also disturbed. I happy that at long last, the Bushman has decided to give us a mere 547 million dollars from his millennium challenge account. If you really look at it, it’s not money ‘biaaa’ for us to be so happy about – that is if we were not so poor and wretched. In our current circumstances, any money from anywhere will be welcome. So am happy that the Bushman decided to give a little to us. Unfortunately, certain ‘revelations’ and ‘disclosures’ that have been made before a certain investigative panel, has somewhat dampened the celebrations of my breakthrough with the Bushman’s millennium challenge account. You know where am heading, right? Yes, everywhere you pass in Sikaman these days people are talking about one thing: cocaine. It’s really annoying me. Because of this cocaine matter, people are even refusing to recognize the hardwork and diligence that made it possible for us to convince the stingy Bushman to give us some of his money. Had it not been for this cocaine fiasco, the radio stations would have been singing my praises all throughout this week and the misguided crowd that welcomed me at the airport with drumming and singing would have been larger.
