The Grip: A poem by Linda Ochagla analysing the picture of Buhari holding Osinbanjo’s hands
The Grip
The grip that says I believe in you
The grip that says you are my pillar
The grip that says we will weather the storm together
The grip that says I love you
The grip that says I will never disappoint you
The grip that says I can’t rule Nigeria alone, I need your imput to make Nigeria great again
The grip that says you have made me proud in how you handled the country while I was away.
The grip that says I trust your judgement.
The grip that says together we will make Nigeria an envy of the world
The grip that says Christians and Muslims are one,there shall be no disunity because of religion.
The grip that says I am here to listen to whatever ideas you have in moving Nigeria forward
The grip that says Nigeria will not break
The grip that says if we pray together, Nigeria will be great again.
The grip that says we will not let Nigerians down and that Nigerians should be patient with them.
The grip that says united we stand, divided we fall.
The grip is a strong bond of friendship
