Here’s a pretty cool piece of American history. Before leaving office, George H.W. Bush left the letter below in the Oval Office for incoming President, Bill Clinton. The letter was posted on Twitter by user James Cameron.




Dear Bill,


When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too.


I wish you great happiness here. I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described.


There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I’m not a very good one to give advice; but just don’t let the critics discourage you or push you off course.


You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.


Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you.


Good luck – George

This is a great letter. "your success now is our country's success. i am rooting hard for you" how many of our African leaders can say this and truely mean it.

.

And GEJ took is a step further by making a call to congratulate and wish the new president well.

oho buhari make u come see am we no u dey deaf but u no dey blind

While in Nigeria, lawyers were starved because of GEJ's refusal to stage a fight after loosing the election. OBJ and Yaradua were forced to be providing for the lawyers through unending court cases.

Taaah! For where? Democracy is alien to many lands in Africa where politics is do or die!

and that's d sad situation we've come to find ourselves. The reason is simple, our own political classes are just greedy. They re there to serve their own selfish desire nd nt necessary to serve the people or the country.

Back when we still had leaders of class and dignity who put the nation first above their party.Today it's the opposite,we have the worst rivalry between two political parties that has divided the country with this unhealthy rivalry.

Hopefully Madam President will steer both parties in the right course come January.

In some Africa countries they will even charm the office for the incoming government.

Most Africans want to have the world, thats why they dont want to leave power/office when they it. That's why they rule instead of serving. They loot, they abuse the rights of thw citizens instead of protecting them, they rig and made politics a do or die affair.

it is not only africans that want all that

This is close to indispensable!

Meanwhile,somewhere in Africa,your predecessor(after fighting in vain to elongate his stay in power) will leave juju in office for you..... SMH.

Dear Babangida,
By the time you are reading this, i must have been escorted to jail by dasuki. And you are probably sitting comfortably in my chair as head of state thinking it is over, but i assure you that my mission of bringing nigeria to its knees will be accomplished even if it takes me 60years and when that happens, Dasuki will regret following your orders.
God punish you- Bubu

In Nigerian setting, no tribe can do this to a man from another tribe even to a man from his tribe sef.

An hausa man can love his brother like that though mek I say the truth.
