Fellow
Nigerians, permit me to use this medium to wish you a Happy Easter celebration
in a season of change. Let the reason for the season bring salutary change to
your lives.
When
we started the struggle for change, some people thought we were just blabbing
and being jobless. Some thought we were looking for cheap recognition while
others said some politicians have paid us. Some even accused us of just being
pointless and unnecessarily crying foul. But today, we are vindicated. History
has absolved us!
Saturday
28th March 2015, marks a turning point in the history of our country and
democracy. This day will be remembered by Nigerians as the day of Change.
Nigerians
went to the polls, made their choice, and for the first time, they voted out an
incumbent president in a broadly peaceful election.
The
2015 presidential election was not about any of the two major candidates-
President Jonathan and General Buhari, which contested for the highest position
in the country. It was about the country. It was about securing the future of
the nation.
The
achievement at the polls is a plus to our democracy and a sign of leadership to
the continent. As it stands, this election has done more in cementing our
democratic set up and has made it stronger.
This
election has not divided us as postulated by some people and groups. Rather it
has shown to the world that we are great people with great minds and can become
a great nation.
The
presidential election also confirms to the world that our diversity represents
our strength. That we are much stronger, well blended and bonded than the world
could imagine. I will not be wrong to say that against all odds Nigeria refuses
to break and won’t break.
It`s
so important to say that this victory is not just for General Buhari and
Professor Osinbajo alone, nor is it for the All Progressives Congress (APC)
party alone. It is a victory for Nigeria. It is a victory both for those that
lost the election and for those that won the election. It is a victory for our
democracy.
This
victory will make leaders in government and people at the helm of affairs to
sit up. The fact that those in government now know that they can be brought
down when they fail perfom their responsibilities and deliver on their promises
is a success for our democracy.
Nevertheless,
I must appreciate and commend the relentless efforts and zeal of the
President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari for dedicating so much passion to
bringing positive change to the affairs of this nation since he started
contesting for the race in 2003.
Meanwhile,
to Professor Osinbajo, you have a lot to do, the world is watching and
expecting you to compliment your educational status with leadership.
However,
to President Goodluck Jonathan, you have shown leadership and maturity for
conceding defeat even in the face of negative pressures. I personally
understand that conceding defeat could sometimes be very difficult, but you
did! History will remember you. Notwithstanding, I must quickly add that, that
does not make you a HERO! It only made you a normal human being, who did the
right thing that was expected of him.
While
to Namadi Sambo, you are a gentleman, history will remember your gentility.
In
addition, to the APC, congratulations to you. I hope that you will deliver on
your promises and bring salutary changes to the lives of the people. To the
People`s Democratic Party (PDP), it is now time to rebuild yourself, correct
your flaws, and come out stronger. I do not want a one party society but a
society with stiff competitions among political parties. That’s the only way we
can have a better government and leadership.
And
passionately to the people, I must say that the victory is yours. This change
would not have been possible without you. It just didn`t happen but it happened
peacefully. It`s so rare to see change happen ‘’peacefully” in developing
countries like ours. But you did it!
Thoughtfully,
I would prefer that this victory is dedicated to those that lost their lives to
the Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment exercise, to the over 200 abducted
#ChibokGirls and to all other victims of terror and that of incompetent,
careless and clueless leadership. You deserve the victory!
Finally,
Dear General Buhari, I hope you have learnt from President Jonathan, he seems
to be a good man with good intentions but the men around him were not
supportive.
Therefore,
when you`re ready to choose those that will constitute your cabinet, two
qualities must come first before all others, they are- “Competence and
Integrity”. When you do this, your regime will be recorded for you as
excellent.
The
presidential election is over, we must now come together, work together and
build an indivisible nation. It`s a victory for all.
God
Bless Nigeria
