Gen.Muhammadu 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 frontline role,
you can serve in an advisory capacity. That
is still service.
In conclusion, let me state that the greatest
beneficiary should you emerge candidate of
the APC would be President Jonathan. 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 should you emerge
candidate of the APC. In fact many political
analysts believe that President Jonathan
wants you to emerge as the APC flag bearer
in order to secure a cheap victory. In
fairness to you, 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 !

Wow!... Nice one though, leaders of tomorrow my foot.

lol you don talk ur mind nah..

The TANOIDS have started writing their epistles of lamentation!

The constitution, superior to your small and dumb mind, allows any Nigerian to contest, even if he is 69 or 79, but here comes a dumb pumpkin with a letter, more of a lamentation of bitterness! Hahahaha

Dis iz reality. I wish gmb reads dis

Well said, bro..Voting 4 Buhari is retrogression, that's why we must place him where he deserves.
He overthrown an elected President, and today,
he want Nigerians to elect him as their President; things
don't work out like that; he can't eat his cake and have it..

You mean the old Fox is almost 80?

Tufiaaaaakwa!
This wan go DIE within 2 years na!
