letter below...
A CLARION CALL TO ALL
NIGERIAN YOUTH TO SUPPORT THE SECOND TERM BID OF PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI IN
2019
All over the world the
youth have a significant and instrumentative role in shaping society. They are
the future leaders who possess great energy, talent and abilities to positively
transform the socio-economic and political future of our nation. The younger
generation should not be on the sidelines, leadership will not be handed over
to them on a platter of gold. It is important to be involved in activities and
decisions that will steer Nigeria forward and we must learn from the mistakes
of the past.
Our elders and leaders also
must willingly prepare and mentor us the youth to take on more crucial roles
and become responsible leaders in various spheres of the country. Critical
understanding of issues and constructive criticisms would be a positive step,
not misinformation, poor reporting, lies or propaganda to undermine the
achievements and efforts of the current administration.
The Bill and Melinda gates
foundation predicted that by 2050 Nigeria and Congo will have of the world's
poorest people. These findings were not concluded within three years but have
gathered data from the past 58years of our great nation. We are at a critical
juncture where the current administration, in order to prevent the predictions
coming to pass, have had to go back to the drawing board. The current
administration has begun the process of laying a solid foundation for future
generations. They have deliberated and contemplated extensively on our myriad
of issues and complexity as a nation to proffer deeply rooted plans and
policies to tackle and establish a strong base on which to build and
consolidate upon.
It is also important to
note that this process is not without pains but we should consider where we
were, where we are and where we are going, The current administration has given
hope to the common man; it is the dawn of a new age. I would humbly and
strongly appeal that we all embrace and support Buhari's government in his
aggressive, relentless pursuit of equitable distribution of wealth and
resources to the masses to aid the growth and development of our nation. He is
seriously improving and empowering local farmers, indu strialists, the women,
the SME and businessmen.
The government is serious
about development and has given new life to the steel industry and the Buhari
Administration is determined to industrialize our Nation and to make us a
producing nation and the revival of the Ajaokuta steel complex and completion
of the Baro and Lokoja ports are examples, The current administration has
sought to address our importation of petroleum products through the relocation
of refineries. These are few examples, a whole book is needed to put the
achievement and successes of the current administration into details. The
current administration has invested more in education, health, agriculture,
security, road infrastructural development to aid the growth of the economy
despite receiving less revenue.
The ingenuity of the
current administration in proffering solutions is highly commendable. No human
is perfect, no government is perfect, only the Creator of heaven and earth
embodies perfection. We are on the right path and should not deviate. The
youths of our great nation •should join hands and support the progress and
giant strides of President Buhari, he is working commendably to free us from
past bondage and captivity. We are on the right path but we must not go back
into bondage again. The Lord has provided a safe route for us through the Red
Sea now, we must continue safely in this journey and not relent.
I am calling on the youths
of our nation to let us work together to return President Buhari to power in
2019. Thanks and God bless Nigeria and protect all of us
I remain a sincere,
committed servant of the people
