Obasanjo Writes Buhari by superneutral(m): 6:27pm On Apr 01, 2015
Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has asked
President-Elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to pay more
attention to institutional reforms and be magnanimous in
victory.
He also urged him to start healing the wounds and
bitterness across the land occasioned by the campaigns
and those he called evil disciples.
In a letter of congratulation dated March 31, 2015
addressed to the Gen. Buhari, Obasanjo reminded the
President Elect that a lot of damage has been done to
various institutions in the country which need urgent
attention, pointing out that he must immediately assemble
a crack team of Nigerians who will assist him in putting
the country on the right part again.
The letter reads: “I hasten to congratulate you on your
success and victory in the Presidential election of March
28, 2015. Your success and victory after three previous
unsuccessful attempts must be great object lessons for
you and for all politicians particularly in Nigeria.
“For me, the totality of the 2015 election holds many
lessons for our democracy and democratization process
which are both maturing. On this occasion, the system has
been unnecessarily overheated before and particularly
during the campaign when emphasis was more in
trivialities and hate, divisive, in dignifying and disrespectful
statements and comments rather than on pressing issues
requiring attention.
“I know that in victory, you will be magnanimous to start
binding the wounds and bitterness occasioned by the
campaign and the evil disciples.
“With so much harm already done to many national
institutions, in lauding the military which proudly nurtured
you and me, you will have a lot to do on institution reform,
education, healthcare, economy, infrastructure, power,
youth employment, agribusiness, oil and gas, external
affairs, cohesiveness of our nation and ridding our land of
corruption. Your varied and wide experience will
undoubtedly stand you in good stead.
“I am also sure that there are men and women of goodwill,
character and virtue across the board that you can
mobilise to join hands with you in the reform, repairs and
redirection that will be imperative to put Nigeria back on
the fast lane of good governance, unity, cohesiveness,
development and progress. Once again, I felicitate with you
and wish you well” Obasanjo stated.
In its own letter of congratulation, the Nigeria Labour
Congress said the election has opened a new and
important chapter in the socio-political development of the
nation.
President of the Congress, Dr. Ayuba Wabba said: “We at
the Nigeria Labour Congress join millions of our
compatriots in congratulating you on your victory in
perhaps the most keenly contested presidential election in
the history of our country.
“We strongly believe that your election has undoubtedly
opened a new and important chapter in the socio-political
development of our nation as we have finally broken the
jinx of transiting from one democratically elected civilian
government controlled by a ruling party to one contributed
by an opposition party.
“Your victory is a lesson in perseverance and commitment,
made possible by the patience, zeal, resolve, resilience
and determination of Nigerians many of whom have
undying belief in you.
“We believe this special trust reposed in you is a sacred
bond between you and the Nigerian people as well as a call
to an uncommon duty at a special period in the history of
our nation.
“The times are challenging and will draw from you every
grain of wisdom and courage, justice and equity, urgency
and necessity.
“We at the Nigeria Labour Congress, like other compatriots
not only look up to you with great expectations, we look
forward to working with and engaging your government.
We stand ready to work with you in defining as well as
charting a new agenda for Nigeria. As we await your
response, please accept the assurances of our highest
esteem”.
