With profound respect to my humble readers and the addressee, Sambo Muritala is my name and I announce my humble appearance for myself and on behalf of the helpless masses of Kwara state. My insensate writing these days is not to demonstrate that I love Kwarans more than any of you but to seek comfort for myself and myself only as observing frustration, hardship, hunger and helplessness in my people consequence upon action or inaction of the government or the stronger members of the society give me sleeplessness.

Airing those views that chase away my sleep gives me a relief and seeing such comments considered make me a fulfilled activist. I have always been relieved and I have never for once been fulfilled considering the administration of Kwara state. Just like a drunkard who gets drunk to avoid grieve. Such an act will definitely not be capable of giving him a fulfillment he needs but a temporary halt. In pursuit of fulfillment, I think I should do my usual writing in different directions to get the fulfillment I need.

Starting from myself, I am sorry for my writings. Those alphabets I did not join well in acknowledging your leadership well enough are not deliberate but those were the outcome of pains I felt in those nights. Those words which hit harder like stones were equally not to hurt you but to install a good spirit of change in you. Those phrases which dragged those cloths of honour on your neck were meant to make you fear the possible consequences of those pains you directly or indirectly inflicted on us.

I equally apologise for those sentences that reminded you of those hidden plans which tends to impoverish the good people of Kwara state. I admitted to the fact that my paragraphs were not soft enough for your consumption. I am also sorry for those titles which chock your governance. Please, forgive my inefficiency and I promise in sincerity that I will change my way the moment I observe you have toed a line of change you advocated.

Ordinarily, I would have love to wait for a time when God will indeed send a good leader who will be responsible to the citizens but I think it is too risky to hold on for the time I do not see coming. I do not see this time coming because the politicians and government are recruiting our promising youths in their ways. Some of them are out to kill or injure the advocate of a genuine change. Some are trained to build a formidable chorus to sing in their favour and this chorus will be so powerful that no amount of cries of maladministration will be hard.

Some are trained to counter every true representation of government. These youths have access to microphones in singing: NAPOLEON IS ALWAYS RIGHT and our natural voices without echo, without jazz or bass could not rival with theirs. These youths are trained in various departments to succeed them when their time lapsed.

This write up will equally be replied to by legal practitioner like those I have written in the past. Some of them know the implications of their actions, that is why they hide their identities but some are so foolish that they are not hiding their identities. Is this the time you think we should wait for?

With this, I am afraid the future is not promising with the calibre of youth we breed to hold stakes in the nearer future. These and host of other factor militating against our future force me to apologise for the past approach and beg government to change for better. Do not set our future against us because that is the hope we have in the future that sustain our present.

On behalf of masses I apologise to you. They have realised how much they had wronged you for casting their votes for you. They believed in you and saw you as their God-sent messiah when indeed you are the greatest enemies Kwarans had never planned for.

It was not that they loved you or appreciated you but because there were no viable options. Those available oppositions were not better than you as they were predominantly buried in greed just like you. Voting any of them will surely have adverse effects on Kwarans. No wonder we pray for God-sent messiah who will hold us in high esteem.

Those leaders that will be sincere at all time, those that will not only say they feel the pains of maltreated masses but those we would know they actually share in the pain, those leaders whose desperation will not be to hold on to power but to hold on to the needs of every members of the state and those that will not set us against ourselves.

What does it cost to be loved and left alone?
