Mr. Metito is now the man who will manage the State House.
“I told him that I’m ready to serve in any capacity that you’ll tell me. He stood and walked away to another room for a meeting and I left.
He only told me that he will make arrangements for us to manage the country but I wondered, to manage what yet I’m just a common citizen…he then left for another meeting and I left,” Mr. Metito said.
Mr. Metito said he even asked the President if he could apply for the advertised jobs by the Public Service Commission, but the President told him not to apply.
“Later in the evening at 4pm, we got the good news. I assure you, I didn’t expect it.”
