Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President

I was so disappointed when I heard the elections had been postponed for the next six (6) weeks. Permit me to say the ruling party (PDP) did not feel confident enough that they could win the elections the way things were going because of the popularity of the major opposing party (APC) so they asked for six (6) more weeks to perfect their act of election rigging.

I was appalled when I heard the reason for the postponement of the elections. Our military said they could not provide enough security personnel for the elections because they were busy with more pressing issue which is fighting insurgency (Boko Haram). At this point I am shaking my head. We all know this terrorist sect has been around long before now to which our president did nothing rather he made a senseless remark such as “terrorism is something every nation must learn to live with”.

Another thing that amazes me is how the President’s supporters defend him despite all that has happened; his actions, inactions and failures. He could not visit the families of the kidnapped girls but he could travel round the country to campaign to be voted in. Their single argument is he is a Christian; please how has that benefitted the average Nigerian family, the girls that were kidnapped, the churches that were burnt, our crude oil that was stolen, monies used to purchase armored vehicles & jets or the graduates that died seeking employment.

The saying is my people perish for lack of knowledge but Nigerians perish despite all they know is happening in the economy. We will keep suffering the same fate until we say no to mediocrity, sentiments and work towards chasing out the corrupt officials.

Let’s vote change!!!! Thanks for reading.
