[VERSE 1] Before
the
name,
there
was
the
work.
Before
the
structure,
there
was
the
service.
Before
Zongo
Caucus
was
formally
created—
Suleman
Tahiru
was
already
there.
Among
the
people,
working
for
the
Zongos.
Sharing
their
concerns,
standing
with
the
community.
Not
because
of
a
title...
Not
because
of
a
position...
Service
came
first.

[VERSE 2] Experience
is
not
a
story
you
tell
the
people.
Experience
is
the
work
the
people
have
seen.
Two
terms
have
passed,
but
the
service
continues.
The
Zongo
knows
him.
The
grassroots
know
him.
The
elders
know
the
journey.
The
youth
know
the
work.
From
yesterday
until
today—
Suleman
Tahiru
has
remained
with
the
people.
