My Unforgettable Connection with George H.W. Bush

Today marks the posthumous birthday of President George Herbert Walker Bush. I remember him and give thanks for the role he played in my life. Back in 2000, when I was an undergraduate at Ife, he intervened through unlikely means. As former CIA director, vice president and president, he understood the spiritual attack I faced from a pastor under surveillance in Nigeria. Through his guidance, I was spared an assassination plot during my NYSC. I believe President Bush acted as my Obatala, the benevolent elder who brought me protection and new purpose. May his soul rest in perfect peace until we meet again.
