CHAPTER 12
"you kept us waiting." Mark said,
"Yes, I know." General Tukur replied. "The president was here sometimes ago and he spent an hour waiting for me. You haven't spent forty minutes, so why complain?" He asked.
"How did you come about such power? I learnt you retired from active politics in 2007 and you never for once acted like a stateman or whatever, but yet, political aspirants and party flagbearers come to your house for endorsement and we learnt only a candidate endorsed by Tukur always end up being victorious. How did you come about such power?" Mark asked.
Tukur bursted into laughter. He cleared his throat and began to speak.
Mark nudged Tina who immediately brought out her notepad and her pen, as well as switching on a voice transmitter whose sole responsibility was to accept voice recording and transmitt it to a certain computer within a set range and whoever is with the computer will be able to listen in on the conversation.
"Just like you said, I retired from active politics seven years ago, but politics never left me, and the media never stopped talking about my political power. And the funniest part is that, apart from serving as millitary governor thrice, I only served as the Chief of Army staff in the democratic dispensation. It was not like I held a position of power and all of that, so, where the power came from, I don't know."
"No one can specifically say you are from this state. Some quarters said you are from Katsina, others said you are from Adamawa. And during the last election, it was reported that a particular gubernatorial candidate visited you and asked for your endorsement. Even though he was the least popular of the contestants, in a less popular political party. You told him some things, after which you said he'll govern the state for the next four years. Yes sir? He won the election." Mark explained. "How did you do that?" He asked.
Tukur was just smiling away, as it was no news that Rtd General Tukur enjoyed nothing, but you singing his praise.
"You can't know what I told the governor, but in few years, if you want to contest for any elective office, I will tell you the same." Tukur laughed.
"Are you still in contact with the Nigerian army?" Tina spoke for the first time.
"Of course. I am a retired General, and I am entitled to nine soldiers according to the Millitary act 1991. If I have nine serving Lieutenants under my roof, what other connection or contact is greater than that."
"Do you have an oil block?" Mark asked.
"No."
Tina loved the way the questions are going. Just the way they planned.
"We all know there is something called the world powers. Are you in contact with any of them, their government or their armies?" Tina asked.
"Of course, but not anymore."
"Which of them and when did you loose contact with them?" She asked. The questions were leading them to the reason why they were in the house.
"Russia, 1991." Tukur replied.
Mark exchanged a knowing look with Tina and immediately, he brought out a phone from his shoe and sent a short message to Melvin which reads;
The time is now. Give the securities, something to chew.
Even though they had a brief idea of who and who Tukur was in contact with, but hearing him speak about it in details gives them joy. Anyone who was placed highly by the Russian government as at 1991 must either be for the split of the Soviet countries or be against the split. And somebody like Tukur will definitely be against the split. And as at December 1991 when the peace treaty was brokered and the members of the Union went their ways to be a soveriegn state, anyone in contact with Russia would either be for the Russian government by fighting that Danny Lovato be stopped, or be for Danny Lovato. Someone with dubious character and an unknown source of wealth like Tukur will definitely be for Danny Lovato's establishment, hence, the probable reason why he lost contact with the Russian government.
A message flew into Mark's phone which reads;
Am on it- Melvin.
And without any other word, he stood up, charged at the elderly man a few metres away from him and hit him twice on the face.
"Where is it?" He asked.
From nowhere, Tina produced a syringe filled to the brim with a yellowish liquid and a cotton wool.
"Cover for me." Mark said giving a gun he smuggled into the house to Tina.
Even though the greatest risk one could take was attacking a man in his house without having an idea of the number of securities in his house, but to somebody like Mark, it was worth the risk.
"Are you sure this would work? I mean, will it get him to talk?" Mark asked as he moved behind the old man and made to stick the syringe into his neck.
"It will, try it. Eric gave me the assurance." Tina whispered.
"If it were to be in America..." Mark was saying.
"Save me the America talk and do your thing." Tina cut him short angrily.
