The drive home was one of silent contemplation. This same journey had been embarked upon numerous times in the past but this day was to be different. No anonymous entry into the town on this occasion and certainly no quiet drive home would be achieved on this day for my homecoming this time was as a result of a very public decision to strive for the highest elective office the state had to offer. The king and council of chiefs had been notified and the townsfolk sensitized of the pending visit but my mind weighed heavily on what I would say as the convoy of vehicles made into steady progress from the capital city to the township.
