It is destiny that has placed you where you are today in this momentous time in our national history. You MUST UNDERSTAND that unlike no other Nigerian leader before, you have the unique opportunity to salvage the Nigerian situation.
You MUST be steadfast, vehement, firm and out-rightly audacious in carrying your duties as a Commander in Chief; don't permit any sycophants and insanely corrupt political associates or subordinates scuttle this God-ordained chance you have to make a lasting impact on Nigeria, Africa and the rest of the world.
YOUR FOCUS: Mr. President, must be on electoral reform, infrastructural development, Economic advancement, and of course, providing Nigerians with the great governance that we have yearn for, and which has eluded us for decades.
If I may advise you on the fierce urgency of our electoral and political dilemma, I will essentially offer a three-sided advise for you to make a choice rather than force you (as others seem to want to do) into a corner with no options.
1) You may choose to reform our electoral system, and conduct a credible election next year and then forever establish your reputation on not only the Nigerian political platform, but on the global platform, on which you can retain international acclaim, which will place you on high international demand to advise and assist with elections in Africa and perhaps, the rest of the world.
2) Like any other Nigerian, you have the right to contest for the Nigerian presidential election, and there is nothing in our Constitution that says you could not. No pressure from any part of the country or from any senseless group should have the moral or political authority to constitutionally compel you not to contest if you choose to. However, you must use your God-given wisdom to weigh the situation before you contest. The whole thing is about what you want or not want to do at this point. I must nonetheless, categorically state that YOU MUST CREDIBLY REFORM OUR ELECTORAL AND POLITICAL SYSTEM BEFORE YOU CAN CONTEST IF YOU CHOOSE TO.
3) Please, abolish that senseless, idiotic, anti-democratic, anti- progressive, and anti-Nigerian garbage called PDP North-South zoning of the presidency. That is completely an insult that the rest of Nigerians DO NOT DESERVE. There is not only the the North and South, There is also the Central, West and East Nigeria. With audacity, I tell you, all Nigerians SHOULD, AND MUST HAVE EQUAL RIGHT TO ANY POLITICAL OFFICE PROVIDED THEY MEET THE CRITERIA IN OUR CONSTITUTION. FULL STOP!!!
Here I stand!
