Strategic Alliances

The time had come to reach beyond their immediate network and forge new alliances that could provide them with the strategic advantages they desperately needed.

Ada found herself in the back room of a high-end restaurant in Victoria Island, a place where the city’s business elite often congregated. The room was elegantly appointed, a stark contrast to the gritty reality of the rebellion. She adjusted her posture, ready to engage with a group of influential business leaders who had expressed sympathy for their cause.

The leader of the group, a man named Olu, greeted her with a firm handshake. He was a tall, imposing figure, known for his shrewd business acumen and discreet dealings. “Ada, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person,” he said, his voice smooth and confident.
