If I were Peter Mutharika

President of the Republic of Malawi, I would come out of my shell to condemn the acts of political violence happening in some parts of the country in the countdown to the fresh presidential election.

If I were APM, I would realise that the situation has the potential to turn chaotic.

Oh yes, other than sitting phwii in the comfort of Sanjika Palace, I would demonstrate that I am in control by, not only by condemning, but also acting on the same.

How I wish I were Adadi, my President, I would realise that failure to act on the current tense situation would portray a picture that I have no problems with the skirmishes that are happening.

Unfortunately, I am not Adadi, but a mere scribe.
