A NIGERIAN YOUTH WROTE THIS LETTER TO BUHARI
Sir, let us examine your service records. I consider your
generation a very privileged one, indeed. In 1975 at the age of
33, you were appointed the Military Governor of the North-
Eastern State, present day Borno & Yobe states.
In 1976 at the age of 34 you became the Minister for
Petroleum and Natural Resources. In 1978 at the age of 36
you became the Chairman of the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC). Today the reverse is the case. Most
Nigerians at age of 35 are still unemployed and still living
with parents. Many are still not married. During your time you
were already Governor at this age.
One major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is that
many elders like you have refused to voluntarily handover the
baton to the next generation. Life should be a relay race
where one runs his race and hands over to the next. In Nigeria
many elders like you have run their races and are still holding
on tenaciously to the baton.
But Sir, I have an important question here for you. The
question is simple, MUST YOU SERVE NIGERIA AS A
PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO OTHER CAPACITY YOU CAN
SERVE US EXCEPT THE PRESIDENCY? It is very erroneous to
imagine that you can only serve Nigeria only in one capacity.
During the regime of late General Sani Abacha, you accepted
the appointment to serve as the Chairman of the then
Petroleum Trust Fund PTF.
The general opinion was that you served faithfully in this
capacity. Well done Sir! But you never asked Abacha to
vacate office for you as your former subordinate in the army.
Never! In fact that would have been a dangerous move, if not
suicidal. Rather you served faithfully under your former junior
in the army. Sir, imagine if you take on another job like the
Chairman of EFCC or ICPC or NDLEA.
Nigerians actually need you to serve in one of these
capacities much more than they need you in the Presidency.
Mere mentioning your name as Chairman of EFCC would drive
many corrupt men underground. But you wouldn’t . Either the
Presidency or nothing. When are you going to handover to the
next person? It is either you do it voluntarily or risk disgrace
at the polls. In 1983 at the age of 41, you became the Head of
State.
Most Nigerians in my age have not had the opportunity to
serve, but we still remain committed to the Nigerian project.
You should rather be graceful to God and to Nigerians for the
numerous opportunities that have come your way to serve
Nigerians. Others are begging for just one opportunity to
serve. Sir, you have to accept the stark reality on ground that
you have served your time already.
That is life for you. You run the race, you handover the baton
for others to run, you cannot hold on to the baton more than
is necessary. As a former head of State you are already a
member of the Council of State Meeting. You have every
avenue to channel your views across. You don’t necessarily
have to be in a front-line role, you can serve in an advisory
capacity. That is still service.
In conclusion, It is crystal clear that you cannot defeat
President Jonathan in a free, fair and credible election, even in
Katsina State.
Sentiments aside, Jonathan would cruise to a landslide
victory come February 14th, 2015. In fairness to you Sir, any
of your Children would pose a serious challenge to Jonathan
more than yourself.
I do not see Nigerians electing a 72 year old former Head of
state to lead us in this Digital era. With due respect to you Sir,
you belong to the Analogue age and therefore, will not fit in as
president in this digital era.
This is the blunt truth. Please do not enter the Guinness book
of world records on a negative note. Losing four consecutive
Presidential election would not augur well for your reputation.
It is in your best interest to assume your position as an elder
statesman and allow others to serve. Nigeria does not belong
to you alone. It belongs to us all, is time we youth tell our self
the truth.

THAT'S ALL.
