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.

A LETTER TO THE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT AND POPULACE

Dear Mr. President,

I am not in the least bit surprised by your performance so far because truth be told I campaigned profusely against you. I was not bought over by the sentiments that pulled people in their droves to vote for you. You only rode to victory on the sentiment of having no shoes which made the average Nigerian think you were a breath of fresh air, that you would understand the plight of the masses and make their lives better but truth be told I did not see you as a person that had the guts to fight corruption, Increase power supply, Provide jobs, Create SMEs, Instill discipline into politicians and government officials etc.
I told people they will regret their decision to vote for you and alas they are regretting today. In your tenure corruption thrived, so many Presidential jets were bought, terrorism tripled, Indiscipline increased in the various Houses, Lives were lost at a Job interview, children were kidnapped in their schools, the price of oil dropped worldwide but that did not reflect in Nigeria, the exchange rate skydived and crushed a lot of businesses dependent on foreign exchange etc.
Permit me to say I prefer Military rule for this country of ours because discipline is sure in every segment of the economy. I was formerly in support of Buhari but as it is I am not supporting anyone anymore because I refuse to be sentimental. A lot of his supporters are sentimental and a lot of those campaigning against him are also being sentimental. They believe he has an agenda to Islamize the country.
As for me I want to vote a candidate in; not minding his religion. Mr. President you are a Christian but you have not done anything to alleviate the degrading situation of the country rather a lot of citizens have fallen below the poverty benchmark.
My advice to Mr. President take a cue from Leaders over the world, they gracefully bow out when they have failed their citizens they do not wait to be disgraced and to the Nigerian populace is if you decide to vote in a candidate ensure it is not done based on religious or ethnic sentiments this time around. Vote in a candidate that will ensure the positive turnaround of this great country of ours.

So I ask Nigerians and the World which way forward?
