A NIGERIAN YOUTH WROTE THIS 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 front-line role, you can serve in an advisory
capacity. That is still service.
In conclusion, 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 come February 14th, 2015. In
fairness to you Sir, 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 is not fit 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"
