So, let this be a lesson to all aspiring Senators out there: With hard work, courage, and a dose of charm, anything is possible that Izunaso will be our next Senate president.
He had been a senator for many years, but this is going to be his biggest test yet.
The campaign trail is hot and dusty, but Sen. Izunaso is unfazed. He strut around with his earphones blasting Fela Kuti’s “Water No Get Enemy” on repeat. His supporters love his energy and his eclectic taste in music.
One day, on his way to a rally, Sen. Izunaso got stuck in a traffic jam. He looked up and saw a group of children playing in a nearby park. He decided to get out of his car and join them. They were playing a game of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, and Sen. Izunaso smiled.
“Children,” he said, “let me show you how it’s done.”
He walked up to the makeshift stage, brushed off his suit, and took a seat. The children giggled as he assumed a serious look. He cleared his throat and asked them a series of questions on Nigerian politics. They were all stumped, but Sen. Izunaso was in his element.
He went on to give them a lecture on the importance of good governance and the role of the citizens in shaping their destiny. The children listened with rapt attention, and when he was done, they clapped and cheered. They were children of some Senators.
Sen. Izunaso got back in his car feeling like a million dollars. He knew he had their parents’ votes, and he was confident that he would be the next Senate President.
The day of the election is approaching, and the Senators will be filling into the chamber. Sen. Izunaso will wait patiently, his fingers tapping a rhythm on his desk as he watches Senators voting and looking at him.
The votes would be tallied, and the announcer would call out the names. The tension in the room would be palpable.
“Sen. Osita Izunaso – One Hundred and-two votes.”
The room would erupt in applause. Sen. Izunaso would get up from his seat, tears of joy in his eyes. He would hugged his colleagues, and they would pat him on the back. He has done it.
From that day on, he would be known as the Senator who won the Presidency with a smile and a song. And the children in the park? They never forgot the lesson in democracy that Sen. Izunaso had taught them.
