Stumbled upon this letter from ANN Senatorial Candidate Representing Ebonyi South Mr Eze Igweogboffia which he tagged and open Letter to PDP and APC Ebonyi Senatorial Candidates

I think he made a whole lot of sense in it. Read below!

OPEN LETTER TO CHIEF AMA NNACHI (PDP) AND PRINCE ONU NWEZE (APC); CANDIDATES IN THE EBONYI SOUTH SENATORIAL RACE - EZE IGWEOGBOFFIA (ANN).

Dear Sirs,

It is with a deep sense of humility that I write you this letter, just 9 days to the elections where your good selves are billed to contest with my humble self in the 2019 Senatorial elections for Ebonyi South. It is an honour and a privilege for a paperweight like me to be mentioned in the same category with Heavyweights like you. We indeed have arrived at a political junction in our history where our realities, demography and idiosyncrasies have caught up with us. Now options exist for our people in a hitherto environment that has witnessed a lot of imposition and abrogation of the peoples will. That I am listed to contest in this election is proof that our politic has come full circle.
The purpose of my letter is not to analyze the political permutations of Ebonyi South or even Ebonyi State but to bring to the fore the growing agitation by the young people of our zone to produce its own generational leaders which might have escaped your attention.

It's 2019, and in recent times we have witnessed a natural paradigm shift across the world that is throwing up a new generation of leaders to deal with contemporary issues of governance and wean the world of age long fixations on obsolete mechanics and practices that hold Nigeria and the rest of Africa down. The INEC shortlist puts your ages at 50 and 58 respectively, which we curiously doubt, but myself being a late bloomer at 40 consider you duo as approaching retirement and will buck the trend with your quest to represent us at the Senate. Over 60% of our population are millennial (born from 1984) with needs and realities you will struggle to come to terms with nor legislate about. The language of majority of our constituents is one you do not understand and will fail to communicate with. The present generation operates with limitless boundaries and pop culture that your experiences and preparedness will never comprehend. And because we do not intend to continue to waste valuable legislative space, we appeal to your sense of decency and community growth to relax the grip of the gerontocracy on our generation to allow us breathe new ideas into our legislative space through one of ours, Me.

The growing youth unemployment, the moral decadence, the youth unproductivity, the debilitating disabling environment, the distortions in age categories producing old men who still consider themselves youths just to stay in demand and the youth rebelliousness are burning issues that you won't be able to cope with and we sincerely appreciate your concerns. Being part of the problems as members of the old order, we doubt your capacity to be part of the solution. Only us can fix our own problems. The Young people of Ebonyi South appeal to you to give us the chance to come into our own and take our place.

We want to inspire a new generation of leaders by unlocking opportunities in the fast growing sectors of the world, which are no longer your areas of competence, and we honestly do appreciate your concern and efforts, but thanks all the same, we got this. We want to energize our communities through technology, we want to automate public sector processes, we want to entrench gender equality and civil liberties that are averse to the current conservative governance practices. *Most importantly, we want to have our say and our way*.

Nations of the world are moving at the speed of light, leveraging new ideas to recreate their legislation thereby unlocking socioeconomic and political opportunities. Our constitutional amendment can no longer be premised on medieval statutes and laws but on contemporary values and principles. We want to do away with the limits placed on our collective emancipation and breathe freedom into our laws. Human Rights are not negotiable but you have never seemed to understand that. Our values might seem too liberal for your understanding but we have not lost our sense of decency. And Sirs, words now have new meanings.

At 40 with 17 years cognate corporate professional experience in Banking and Finance, Communications, Consultancy, Retail and Information Technology sectors, it will be a disservice to this generation of Ebonyi Southerners to put our dreams and liberation on hold just to accommodate moribund interests.
Please look around you Sirs, you will see that it is a new world. We need to introduce a new order and your children are the biggest beneficiaries, so why rob us? We want to douse the palpable tension that your generation has built through mutual distrusts, conflict hangovers and sectionalism fixations. We want to pull down the boundaries that your generation created through stereotypes and myths. We want to focus on those issues, landmarks and affinities that make the Edda, Ohaozara, Ivo, Afikpo and Onicha young boy or girl a citizen of a world without boundaries, dreams without limits and energies to power our senatorial district.
The architectural designs of our youth centres are being reviewed as we speak. Draft bills to reform our education sector are in their finishing stages. Our co-creation hubs and startup incubators are being equipped. Negotiations with job creators and virgin investors are at advanced stages. International affiliations with global networks have been built. Documentaries on the sights and sounds of Ebonyi South are being commissioned. Please don't be the clog in our wheel of progress. We are the light of the world and darkness cannot comprehend us.

We want an accessible Senator and Representatives that we can hold accountable. That we can speak our minds to without fear nor cultural inhibitions. That we can hang out and banter with. That we can tweet, Snapchat. Instagram and Facebook with. A Senator that feels our pulse and shares our pains. A Senator that thrives in our realities and inspires us to dream, and pursue our visions. Our world is new and different, it holds our future and we wish not to further sacrifice it on the altar of mediocrities and nepotism.

We are young and free, please allow us to fix us. *#E4S #FollowTheLion*

Yours sincerely,

Eze Igweogboffia

Oh ok..can you enlighten me a bit on this Man? I guess you are from Ebonyi

video evidence surfaced of Gandugge, a sitting governor in the ruling party collecting bribe of 5million dollar and yet Mr president celebrated him during his campaign and said he is innocent until proven guilty by the court of Law.we should overwhelm Buhari and defend our votes like in Bayelsa and Rivers, when I watched the Ekiti and Osun elections. Then Buhari appoints his niece as Chief Collator, then INEC Chairman, almost all Service Chiefs, the Chief Justice and all tiers of Justice and Security are headed by Northern Muslims. The last time any Muslim nation went this far was in Turkey. What followed was the Armenian Genocide of over 1 million people.
