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
 therefore, will not fit in 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. copy and post on your wall let it go round,
 is time we youth tell
 our self the truth.
