I would like to send my good wishes to you, Mr. President, as you return to Nigeria after an extended medical vacation. The fact that in your absence we witnessed a spurt of growth in our economic indices including a resurgent Naira only goes to show the kind of structure you have put in place that ensures a continuity even in the absence of the Commander in chief.

The struggle for any democracy is the institutionalization of processes, the dymistification of the cult of personality and the enthronement of internationally accepted due processes in decision taking and policy execution.

What we have achieved as a nation during this your long stay was the maturity of our democratic processes. We did not see a collapse in government despite all sort of rumors and fear mongering. Policy decisions were implemented, the government’s signature anti corruption approach maintained its course and apart from the skirmishes in the southern part of Kaduna we witnessed relative peace.
