Now is the time for him to normalize his relations with the Tubah community which has been hostile to him, rightly or wrongly. He must take advantage of the opportunity and normalize his links with the Fons of the four main villages that fall under Tubah Sun Division where the university is located. These are Bambili, Bambui, Kejom Keku (Big Babanki) and Kejom Ketinguh (Babanki Tungoh). It is a fact that since the Vice Chancellor’s appointment his relationship with the Fons and mayor of Tubah have been frosty at best. Now is the time to change all of that and get everyone on board.
The ecumenical service can therefore be used as a period of
reconciliation in which those who have wronged the Vice Chancellor say “sorry” and
he too says “sorry” to those he has wronged. It is true that he was appointed
by the Head of State but the people in the immediate community are those he
works with on a daily basis. Traditionally they are also in a position to give
him their “blessing” and stand by him and support him and defend him. After the
ceremony, everyone should go away looking ahead to the future, and not back to
the past. After all, as Becky Ndive used to say, tomorrow is where we will
spend the rest of our lives.
