The high rate of political assasinations in Nigeria


They Killed Him



Hands tied, legs tied then stabbed to death
That was how the gentle guber aspirant died
His killers, both active and passive
Deserved that death.
His electorate was the most shocked
A great riot could have sprouted
It was because he never wanted war
Though twice he had tried the third was for sure
They prevented him from his dream
Allowing people to wonder who will dare that
"Dastardly act" and "Disappointment" are the names of the killers
It was as if the nation was not growing
As if it was still the military era
People hope that the frustrated civil force and their foreign cohorts
Will find the killers, as they have not found the
Attorney's and the journalist's killers
Nineteen days after another guber aspirant
Was shot, clubbed and dragged to death
You now starting wondering...
