2015 Elections: LETTER TO MY IGBO BROTHERS

With just 1 day to the long anticipated general election, and seeing the way things are going, I am compelled to write this letter to all progress loving Nigerians particularly Ndi Igbo Nwafor.
I have observed we Igbos are mostly voting on religion and tribal lines. This we must stop if we want a better Nigeria.
Let's look beyond religion and tribes and see which party is likely to be of more benefit to the masses.

WHY VOTING JONATHAN/PDP MAY LIKELY NOT FAVOUR US:

1) Jonathan will have nothing to lose: Once elected, whatever the cry of the masses maybe, he knows that either he act on it or not, he is leaving by 2019. So he has no challenges.
An example is the issue of Stella Odua who bought N255M bullet proof cars amidst poverty-strikened Nigerians; she was initially investigated but now the case has been swept under the carpet.

2) He must recover his dollars: Report has it that, President Jonathan, in his urge to retain power, has embarked on the policy of dollarization. All this money: some given to our pastors, obas, OPC etc shall be recovered at the detriment of OUR (taxpayer's) money.

3) PDP will take us for granted: The impression that the incumbent cannot be defeated and they will rule us for 60 years according to one of them will remain in their heart. A victory for the PDP is a slap on democracy.

WHY VOTING BUHARI/APC MAY FAVOUR THE MASSES:

I have only one reason:
This party is NOT the party of the saints but the way things are now, they have tendency to give us a better form of governance different from what we have witnessed in the past 16years under the PDP.

1) They have a lot to lose: The APC will be under pressure to deliver. They know that if they do not perform after 4years, the stronger party (PDP) will takeover again.
This party will like to take up atleast one thing that they can be remembered for. For example this party may take the bull. by the horn in the power sector only, and solve this problem for us.

I am neither supporting the APC nor the PDP in this case, we should just take things with the "common sense" factor.
Ndi Igbo, I know the past of Buhari is still in our minds, but an adage says "He who does not leave beyond the past may lose the goodness of the future".

According to him, he said, and I quote:"I am a former military dictator, but now a democratic convert". Ironically, he sought our forgiveness.
Many of us say Buhari can never change, you as an individual cannot tell me that the way you behave 10years ago is still the way you behave now. Some things must have changed.
Buhari of 30years ago may not be the Buhari of today. Please let's give him a chance.

Some will say we need youths to rule us not an old man, remember people like James Ibori, Alameseigha etc were convicted for money laundry in their 40s.
Good leadership is not by age but integrity.

This is a call to Ndi Igbo, look beyond your personal hatred for Buhari and put Nigeria first.
I am an indegene of Enugu State, born in Igbo Etiti, I was a vibrant youth leader of President Jonathan campaign in 2011 but he has failed us. I am more exposed and wiser now that I cannot be blinded by religion and ethnicity in the choice of candidate. The same should apply to you.

Let's vote the APC and see what they have to offer, if they fail us after four years we shall get rid of them with the power of our vote.
Yours.
Chinedu Nebo.

Don't just read, please print and share it to our Igbo brothers.

Sir i respects u a lot and with all due respect, consider my own opinion. I see from this letter dat ur comand of logic is not too strong. If u think dat APC will take d bull by d horn by trying to please d ppl in it first tenure so dat d PDP whom u refer to as the bigger power will not power from them then u are mistaken. The bigger power is d power on the sit of power. APC have men who are too desperate and will do anything for power, little wonder why a father of 72 wants to rule his over 170million children with different minds, behavior, thinking etc. when his first son is matured enough to handle dat. If he had good intentions for this country he would hv rada dan seek power, acted like a father n supply his son help and some of his ideas, if he has good intentions for Ndi igbo he would not hv only be remembering to come and see us only during campaign. I know u hv not openly supported Apc but our reasoning is not blind!!!! Ndi Igbo knows what we want and we will vote who we want
4 me its gej till 2019
#Oga jona carry on# All igbos are behind you
Buhari let's wait till 2019 then Ndi igbo will consider u

From the writer's letter, the issue of age has been addressed.
It's hightime you summon wisdom and vote wisely for the interest of yourself, myself, and posterity.

Read again, there is element of truth in that letter. Think twice. You don't vote out of emotion.

Unfortunately your are going to get few likes and shares than envisage. The Buhari woud have liked you and goodluck draws few shares anyway because they are few in that category.
I gave you one share to manage as gift for you first to comment.
