People tend to be alarmed when the Nigerian Presidency takes certain
decisions. They don’t think the decision makes sense. Sometimes, they
wonder if something has not gone wrong with the thinking process at that
highest level of the country.
I have heard people insist that there is some form of witchcraft at work
in the country’s seat of government. I am ordinarily not a
superstitious person, but working in the Villa, I eventually became
convinced that there must be something supernatural about power and
closeness to it. I’ll start with a personal testimony. I was given an
apartment to live in inside the Villa. It was furnished and equipped.
But when my son, Michael arrived, one of my brothers came with a pastor
who was supposed to stay in the apartment. But the man refused claiming
that the Villa was full of evil spirits and that there would soon be a
fire accident in the apartment. He complained about too much human
sacrifice around the Villa and advised that my family must never sleep overnight inside the Villa.
