Aminah has been representing her boss in several occasion, of all the meetings, one was scheduled to hold in Ilorin. University of Ilorin multipurpose hall with some stakeholders on how to put a stop to rape cases as it’s going rampant and viral.
At the airport, they met with the delegates who had been waiting for them so as to convey them to the government house before the commencement of the meeting. The stakeholders and the security agencies were duly represented, religious heads, elders and the likes. Aminah was standing, she was on a call with her boss telling her how things went, and that they had landed safely, behind her were two security officers who were assigned to her. The head of the security was passing, he was directing his boys on how to maintain and take charge of their duty. Alas, Aminah shouted… Abdullah!!! She had forgotten all dignified decorum required of the gathering she was in.
Aminah… Abdullah responded in awe, oh my goodness, this must be a dream and should it be a dream, let me wake up not.
Good to see you again Aminah, what brings you here? I have desperately longer to see you again. I got your SMS but it’s never available, Abdullah was still holding Aminah’s hand, they had both forgotten the crowd.
I work with the minister of internal affairs, I happens to be PA, so I’m here to represent my boss. I’m deeply sorry for the inconvenience please, by the way… What are you doing here? Aminah asked.
seems you had forgotten I was working in the army, you should remember how I met you.
Oh my bad, I had forgotten. I’m also here, in person of my boss, Major General Qassem, he travelled and I had to head the personnel.
What a coincidence, so we’re both representatives.
As they’re about to take a seat, the announcement came in from the Ahuja speaker announcing the meeting commencement. They both agreed to meet by the end of the meeting.
