Dear Senator,

It gladdened my heart to learn of your intentions to serves as the executive governor of our noble state, as the need for quintessential leadership and a potent government can come at no better time other than now. The present administration is led by lackluster laggard who became governor by sheer luck, the product of nasty scheming and paltry politicking and not by honoring the utmost will of the people. He has continually made us a laughing stock among the comity of states. Under his unfortunate leadership, our begging bowls have become our greatest assets. However, when a politician of your pedigree decides to answer the call to leadership to salvage what is left of the state from the clutches of hyenas in white clothing, such response is a sign that all isn't over and hope does lie at the end of the tunnel.

However Senator, there is another call that demands urgency. It is a call higher than the summons to be a state governor. It is a call to rescue democracy in Nigeria and save generations unborn from the scheme of political profiteers, swindlers and rogues, who presently occupy the upper echelons of our democratic hierarchy. it is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that the leadership of the Ninth Assembly is nothing but a puppet show, completely at the behest of the presidency and the caricature of the mother (political) party.

Mr. Senator, we know that the true essence of democracy is in a vibrant opposition, one that is able to go toe-to-toe against the wiles and the ignoble intentions of the incumbent leadership. Thus the question lurking in the heart of Nigerians is this: "Who has the balls to stand up to these dictators". Fortunately, the baton has fallen to you; but unfortunately, few people are of your ilk, having the pedigree to stand up to them. It was evident in the election of the 9th Assembly, that some legislators submitted their democratic right as stewards of the people and the unfettered responsibility they owe to their constituencies to bullying; and voted against their conscience just to save their necks, not minding the lasting effect on our national future.

Senator Dino Melaye, you know clearly that the ultimate responsibility of leadership is sacrifice, the time for sacrifice is now! The time to weigh your options and decide on whether you should pursue your noble governorship intentions or to answer a higher call of saving a nation is now! Your home state and the nation at large needs you now more than ever.
Whatever your decision, I do trust your judgment in making a choice that will be beneficial not only to DINO MELAYE, but the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thank you,

May God bless you, and may He continually bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
