From BUHARI to NIGERIANS
Dear friends, as the presidential
campaign
draws to a close, let us talk – Nigerian
to
Nigerian. My interactions with Nigerians from all
over the
country over the last few months have
left me
with an overwhelming sense of the
expectations the citizens of Nigeria hold for the
future.
There was a little girl who donated her
savings
because she believes in our campaign.
The young men and women at our campaign
rallies who run after our motorcade,
screaming
‘Change’.
The fisherman in Bayelsa who lost his
livelihood because of the polluted Ogboinbiri
River.
The welder from Ibadan who
struggles under
the weight of poor power supply.
This campaign has been about them, and
millions of others who have been let
down by
their government. From Enugu to Edo,
Cross
Rivers to Kano, Ondo to Benue, and everywhere
in between, Nigerians are tired of the
status quo.
Without exception, they want a more
secure
living environment, better economic opportunities, and a more accountable
government, they want a country they
can be
proud of.
My experience has confirmed that
there is no Muslim Nigeria or Christian Nigeria, no
Northern
Nigeria or Southern Nigeria. There is
only one
Nigeria, a country where citizens
continue to forge ahead despite the challenges we
face; a
country that we all, both home and
abroad, hope
and pray achieves its full potential.
I have dedicated my life to the service and
continued existence of this one
Nigeria, both as
a military officer and a civilian. In the
course of
this service, I have overseen the building of
refineries and protected Nigeria from
aggressors, both internal and
external. My time
as Head of State, was not perfect;
mistakes were made. Some of you may not support
me
because of those mistakes but I assure
you that I
feel the pain of everyone who
experienced undue hardship. Others like Lola
Shoneyin and
Tunde Thompson have been gracious
enough to
look beyond these mistakes and
accept my offer of a partnership to build a new Nigeria
we can all
be proud of. My appeal to you is that
you find it
in your hearts to do the same.
As I said at Chatham House, being the leader at
the time, I take responsibility for those
mistakes
and state again that before you is a
converted
democrat who has submitted to and will
continue to submit himself to a true
democratic
process.
I talk about a partnership because to
surmount the grave issues Nigeria will have to
contend
with, leading will require your
commitment and
cooperation. Our country is at an all-
time low. Poverty and unemployment have
reached
unprecedented high, and insecurity
threatens
the lives and wellbeing of every single
person within our borders—a situation that I
myself
have experienced directly. Still,
nothing can
erode my optimism about our country
Nigeria. I believe this country can be great
again. I believe
that with effective and transparent
leadership,
the eradication of corruption and
respect for the rule of law, things can change for the
better.
Let me be frank, Nigeria is not going to
change
overnight. The damage that the PDP
has wrought on this country is not going
to change
overnight. But if we want a country
you can be
proud of in the next eight years, in the
next decade, then this is the time to stop the
madness, this is the time to tell your
leaders that
they need to be afraid of you, this is
the time to
show that you won’t be taken for granted, this is
the time to show the present crop that
if they
fail, they will be punished.
Even in voting for me, you will be
sending me a clear message, that if I don’t fulfil my
promises,
you have the power to decide who
leads you and
how they lead you.
I have served Nigeria will everything I have,
without taking anything that I did not
earn. If
anyone has evidence that proves
otherwise, I
challenge them to present it. Many lies have
been circulated about my person but
like I
always say, while they continue to lie,
we shall
continue to reinforce the truth. So, today, let me make you a promise
that will
not be broken.
The reason we are doing this is clear.
This is
about creating a Nigeria where you and your
father and your mother and your
children can be
safe, this is about this is about creating
a nation
where children can go to schools where they
actually learn and can compete in the
world, this
is about building a country where
corruption and
waste, and stealing and irresponsibilit y can be
wiped out, so that government
officials stop
giving entrepreneurs and creative
people
handouts, but actually do the hard work of
creating an economy that creates
wealth for
everyone.
This is about creating a country that is
serious about compete g in the global
economy. This is
about creating a country whose
passport will not
be insulted whenever you leave our
country. This is about building a nation where
your child
can truly be great, whether he is born
in
Abakaliki, or in school in Akure, or
about to get married in Auchi.
I would like to thank everyone who
has been on
this journey with us, and thank
Nigerians who
received us with warmth everywhere we
campaigned. On the 28th of March and
the 11th
of April, use your PVC to get the
desired change
that will enable you and your children to be
proud of this country once again.
God bless you, and God bless Nigeria
