"content": "Anybody who is in doubt - maybe, most of you do not remember – should understand the following: During the Second World War, there was a German priest by the name Rev. Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemoller. I want you to listen to what Rev. Niemoller said. The powers of the governors and the way they have been carrying themselves around worry us all. However, this is not new. Such grandeur is always something that brings itself down. Anybody in doubt of what self grandeur can do should remember the story of the late Mobutu SeseSeko of Zaire. At the height of his power, Mobutu who was born a Catholic but changed his name from Joseph Desiree Mobutu to Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu wa Za Banga, which means “the all powerful warrior who goes from conquest to conquest leaving fire and brimstone in his wake.” He even commanded his Ministers to regard his mother as a goddess. When the time for Mobutu Sese Seko to go came, not even that delusion could help him. I know that our governors are delusional, but this is not the way to go about this Bill.
