Mbah’s Victroy: Why Enugu Is Silent

 Mbah’s Victroy: Why Enugu Is Silent


By
Kachifoo Nwobodo



Enugu is silent. It is the kind of silence that strikes when news of the death of a close relative or friend filters in. Ndi Enugu were thrown into deep mourning on Wednesday night when, in its curious wisdom, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, handpicked a new governor for the state. The day after, Enugu slid under a disquieting blanket of silence. 042 is shell-shocked. People wear long faces as they move around. No one speaks of the theft of their mandate the previous night. A pain in the heart does not lend itself easily to the soothing reassurance of sharing stories. They are a wounded people. A people robbed blind!
