The no-nonsense governor of Akwa Ibom state has fired one of his official drivers for farting while on the steering. Bu the penalized very senior driver is albeit still in the civil service of the state. Before the big hammer fell on him, he had severally been found guilty of being in the habit of farting while on board with the governor.
Society Reporters reliable source said that on many occasions the governor had warned the recalcitrant driver to wash his stomach by every means to save him from the daily embarrassment. And that in the past, he had been queried several times in connection with such issues, adding that all such actions, appeals and advice had always ended in futility.
It was therefore gathered that the uncivilized habit and the governor’s tolerance got blown over recently when the embattled driver messed up the air in the bullet proof G-class Mercedes Benz jeep the boss was moving around in with one of his visiting colleagues.
As a result of the said misdemeanor, the governor felt embarrassed and told his chief of staff to submit the drivers name for strict disciplinary actions. Instantly, we learnt, the governor who is gradually taking after the late political icon, Chief M.K.O Abiola, in terms of philanthropy and collection of awards and honors, had to break protocol, changed to one of the backup vehicles in his usual very long convoy and continued the journey of showing his colleague around the several projects sites that has made him to be labeled one of the best performing in the country where most of the governors are non-performers.
As you read this, relations and friends of the driver have been visiting the offices and homes of all those considered to have the governor’s ears to plead on his behalf. They have even gone as far as suggesting that “The Pilot” as the embattled driver is fondly addressed, should still be allowed to be at the government house even if he does not drive the governor any longer.
But some people are reading a bizarre meaning into the circumstances that befell the driver. Rather than seeing it as a medical condition that requires the adequate attention of the medics, they are attributing such level of stupidity to some spiritual manipulations. That his enemies and those who don’t wish him well are responsible for the misfortune.
