A NIGERIAN YOUTH WRITES A 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 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. copy and post on your wall let it go round, is time we
youth tell our self the truth

PDP have degraded the psyche of the Nigerian Youth for years.

Youths need to support Buhari so that PDP will not completely steal our future. Buhari will create jobs, fight corruption, provide amenities, infrastructures, revamp the economy, develop human capital so the youths can step up to leadership with better orientation and capacity.

Vote for Change. Sai Buhari/Osinbajo 2015.

Buhari's generation was really "privilaged" then as the HausaFulani had Nigeria by the jugular. Those days you will find Northerners that cant even spell their names heading ministries and parastatals, with highly trained proffessionals from the south serving under them. Mediocrity was the order of the day then. And thats the pitiable era they and their western puppets are trying very hard to drag us all back to in this 2015. Those days the millitary and power was their birth right. Today the tide has turned and they cant get used to it, hence the birth of bokoharam and the violent/other foul approach of trying to wrestle power from the south.

Say no to Buhari.
Say no to having an illiterate boss.
Say no to the dark era of Nigeria.


GEJ till 2019!
