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...

leadership isn't by age but the ability to deliver. Buhari who is a man of principle is what we need to change this country for better. we are tired of bringing sentiment to issues.

the real topic of this letter is "pdp writes letter to buhari" some writers are shallow minded, and sentimental. nigerians cant continue with a redondant jonathans rule for 7 years, if i lied, just point out one thing that he has done right since the death of yaradua.

Regurgitated old trash.

Next.

Youths should start from somewhere, leadership won't just come to u in ur parents house
