POSITIVE LETTERS

“it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness.” – Jesus (Matthew 3:15b)
Dear Mr. President,
Nigerians are currently celebrating the demise of the ill-advised 3rd-Term nightmare (a demise long-foreseen by everybody, except you and your myopic advisers!). A nightmare which threatened to send our beloved nation over the edge of the precipice of instability on which we have teetered for so long, what with righteous unrest in the Niger Delta, the north, the middle belt, the south-west, and the southeast (in short, all over the nation!), plus the other ominous rumblings that have made many doubt the possibility, for example, of the 2007 elections being fair, transparent and credible, not least of which rumblings being those brought on by your messy personal and political relations with the Vice-President which you are mostly responsible for, plus the understandable perception of your much-touted anti-corruption campaign as being nothing more than you employing an otherwise-relevant instrument of state as a witch-hunt tool against your political foes and personal critics.
By the way, Mr. President, we do not belong to the school of thought that believes that everybody who criticizes the Presidency, or this administration, is a friend of the people. No, far from it! Let it go on record here that we consider many of today’s political and other gladiators who are opposed to you, your administration, and your party to be no more than apostles of “sour-grapes” who have not justified their claims to be representing the Nigerian people, any more than have many of your self-serving aides and boorish party leaders who are clearly anti-people.
We do believe that Nigerians have been monstrously shortchanged by your administration, regardless of your seemingly good intentions, considering the average Nigerian’s very high hopes when you assumed office in 1999, which hopes you have not really justified to date. But we also sadly recognize that most of your critics today are mere political jobbers and hypocritical turncoats who gleefully and self-gratifyingly toed the party line (read “your line”) dogmatically until your abrasive politics and personality forced them to part ways with you; but we also can see how this parting of ways may ultimately turn out to be in our overall interests as a people and a nascent democracy. However, considering their mainly self-serving antecedents, maybe you do have good reason to discountenance any advise or corrections that may emanate from this breed of politicians and “analysts” whose sole ideology is “anti-OBJism”, a non-starter that will be their albatross.
But we all know, you not the least, that apart from the above, maybe suspect, Nigerian politicians, quite a few indisputably well-meaning global, continental and national icons and statesmen have selflessly offered good advice to you, or sought to grant you the benefit of their universally-respected wisdom – only for them to be roundly rebuffed by you, or unconscionably insulted by your houndish aides. For example, you have finally recognized that you must vacate Aso Rock on May 29, 2007, months and weeks after the Mandelas, Rawlings, Negropontes, Annans and Soyinkas of this world tried to let you know this truth which you and your aides were so sure your “carrots and sticks” manipulations of democracy could force on “impotent” Nigerians.
Think of the agony you would have spared both yourself and the good people of Nigeria if only you had listened to your global peers, and all the other wise voices, that warned you against the madness of seeking a 3rd-term in the face of obvious populist opposition to such a high-handed scheme. But no, you had to subsume all other government business to that mad-hatter’s pipe-dream, wasting so much time and money (oh, we want to believe you that you did not touch state funds…but we also know there are many ways to skin a cat… “make we lef dat one, bros”, as my Niger Delta brethren would put it!)… wasting so much scarce resources… on what? … on a project that was so obviously self-serving, so unpopular and clearly doomed to an ignominious end right from day one?! You were, obviously suffering from the kind of disconnect from the citizenry that doomed Abacha, just as it did pre-revolutionary France’s Queen Marie Antoinette. Or, better yet, your advisers who, self-servingly themselves, intentionally kept you in the dark, the very same way the same bunch blind-sided Abacha, sold you a pig-in-a-poke. What a shame! What an irony! What an attempted ridiculing of God’s own people – Nigerians! Maybe this is the time for you to urgently carry out a pragmatic and futuristic re-assessment of your advisory team, both in-house and “honorary”, Mr. President.
Anyway, Mr. President, we believe it is time that you remember how God has been good to you … How He spared you through the Abacha madness of assassinations and gulag; making you a seeming Joseph to this nation (from the prison-rock to the Aso-rock); and keeping you secure, even in the face of many coup-plots (including, maybe, some you know naught about!), nigh plane-crashes, palace-putsches, et al…
In gratitude to God for the opportunity to serve Him and this nation’s peoples, it behooves you to assiduously begin today to “fulfill all righteousness” and be seen to be so doing. How you go about this is NOT exclusively your business, but is also the business of every well-meaning stakeholder in the Nigerian project, and this missive is the beginning of our humble input into the process of your revamping your act to God’s glory, to the common good of Nigerians, and to your leaving a good name for posterity’s sake. You are, warts and all, still our President (this writer voted for you in ’99…forget the “2003 selections” when no Nigerian’s vote counted!), and we affirm our fealty to that office and to our country, without precluding our right to opt out of any contract (political, social or economic) that is not accountable and transparent within the set parameters, or that attempts to veer off the path of Christian propriety, which is why we all were so unshakably opposed to the underhanded attempt to manipulate the constitution merely to satisfy your “messianic-complex”. So what do you do now?!
First, you stop talking down to Nigerians! Your PDP-NEC speech conceding victory to the populist anti-3rd-term movement was a cheap open-ended insult to a people who had, without any question, succeeded in fighting you and your armies retired generals, with all the alleged intimidation and corruption at your disposal, to a humiliating standstill. Instead of curbing your defeated generals by advising them to learn the art of modern politicking and democracy, and telling them to desist from cursing out distinguished lawmakers who were merely exercising their democratic rights of dissent as representatives of the people of Nigeria, you used that speech to resume intimidatory tactics against future resistance, as any discerning listener easily fathomed – which, knowing your style, was your objective anyway! Please save such hitlerian modes for your chickens in Ota in the future.
Secondly, start preparing this nation for credible 2007 elections by helping get the Electoral Bill through the National Assembly without any further delay. Many students of the OBJ-style predict that you are going to change into a “vengeance” mode, one that will see you attempting to victimise anti-3rd-termers to the best of your ability, even if mainly clandestinely. We normally would not loose any sleep over whatever you politicians do, especially since we believe the folks in the National Assembly are, or should be, astute politicians who have a game-plan ready for such an eventuality of your attempted victimisation, if it becomes reality, but we are very worried that you may, in the event of such speculations being true, trigger off series of non-productive actions that could impede the smooth flow of good governance and impact this nation negatively. We pray that you will focus on allowing the political space be vested with the kind of freedom you always espouse, especially with regard to the economy. And that you will realise that the greatest legacy you could ever leave Nigerians is the enshrining of the rule of law, and the establishment of truly effective electoral institutions, that will be proven during through transparently true, free and fair elections in 2007.
Thirdly, stop deploying the EFCC as your personal “bulldog” that serves merely to “punish” people that you have found “wanting”…your political opposition, ex-friends and critics of your administration. Right now, many Nigerians are already anticipating that you will try to get at the lawmakers and others who opposed the 3-rd-Term nightmare by unleashing Ribadu at them. In your own interest, you’d better not adopt this too-obvious ploy of vengeance … in fact, shelve all plans for vengeance, even if such tendencies come naturally and reflexively to you. Over and beyond that, however, there is an urgent need for you to curb the EFCC’s too manifest modus operandi of selective-justice as it were, especially now that many doubt the sincerity of your overall national anti-corruption drive. You can do something to help improve both your image and the state of the nation by just letting the EFCC be seen to be doing its mandated duty without selective and anti-people tele-guiding by the Presidency. For starters, let Ribadu seriously and professionally investigate and report on all the allegations of bribery being leveled against both the executive and the legislature. Anything short of a transparent, impartial and thorough investigation of these “money-for-votes” accusations can only further badly damage your credibility to Nigerians and your foreign “friends” who are mostly highly embarrassed for you already.
Fourthly, you must urgently rein in your aides and get them to stop making “gutter-language” irreverent statements against your critics. Let that respect which you yearn for so much, and which you cried out for in your defeat-accepting NEC speech begin in your backyard, so to speak. The ease with your “spin-doctors” ape your often-caustic tongue leaves a lot to be desired by any civilized person, and the fact that you never call them to order rubbishes your call for respect from anybody towards your person. If you enjoy this troglodyte-style of politicking (which style is obviously favoured by your party chairman whose lips are doing you more harm than good at the moment!), we the citizens of Nigeria do not, and we hate to see our presidency descend to “gutter-talk” levels.
Next, put behind you all bitterness and operate with a true spirit of self-sacrificing love for the good people of Nigeria. This must entail your forgiving all those whom you perceive as having hurt you for good or for bad; it must encompass your operating a truly open-door government, with you giving ear to the advice and criticism of the people you have sworn, before God, to lead to the best of your ability. Cease giving the impression that you are omniscient like God. Know that even if you were to make mistakes, you are only human and your fellow-citizens are very understanding, provided you do not try to make the rest of us out to be fools … especially when, as in this 3rd-term case, you were the one who was not wise enough as to be aware of the so very obvious truth and reality, which is that Nigerians truly think you should leave…today, if it were possible!
Finally, start a true peace process in the Niger Delta, not the ongoing farce of offering “Trojan-horse” sound bites of development-promises that are drowned in your belligerent threats backed with physically evident excessive military presence calculated to cow this much-degraded peoples, whose lands and waters feed the whole nation whilst they starve, into rolling over to die or gain a feudal “belly-scratching” from “Your benevolence”! By the way, be warned now that your advisers are leading you amiss if they make you believe that military aggression in the Niger Delta can gain us anything but a civil war and possible secession, with direr consequences than the ’67—’70 strife that we all prefer to forget today! As the man who had the honour of receiving the surrender of the “rebels” of that war, we want to believe that you do not want to be the man to trigger an easily avoidable conflagration that would easily eclipse that sad crisis. Please let peace and joy be the realities you leave us with as you quit office soon. Release Asari Dokubo and initiate a non-gallery-playing peace process before things get far out of hand … of course, you must be aware that quite a few watchers of the nation have postulated that your plan is to insidiously encourage the crisis in tha Niger Delta to escalate so as to make the nation “ungovernable” and so make the holding of truly national elections impossible, since this could lead us into the position of having to, reluctantly, stay in Aso Rock beyond May 29, 2007. Don’t even let anybody make you take that ripple-effect decision to play cheap tenure-elongation politricks with the future of the Niger Delta.
Let Nigerians and the world remember you as a man who believed in himself and his cause, but who believed even more in both the democratic process and in the right of the Nigerian people to choose how they want to be best governed, even if you truly believe all 150million of us to be wrong and you alone right!
Let it also go on record here that many of us do acknowledge that you have been a blessing to Nigeria in many ways – there’s no denying that God used you to keep us together when, in 1999 many thought we could not but break. It is true that you restored (with the help of your erstwhile good friend, T.Y. Danjuma- do you have ANY friends left?) professionalism to the military, and weeded out the “politicised” members of the military (by the way did you know in advance that you would try to take over the PDP with this same class of ex-military men…one wonders?). Of course you worked assiduously at removing the pariah status we suffered as a nation under IBB and Abacha (another reason why you must work harder now not return us to a worse pariah state); you gave us GSM (which, ironically, helped your opposition better mobilize against your 3rd-Termism); and you jetted all over the world ostensibly to gain debt-relief for us (though you are still borrowing anew…just as you did in the ‘70s when you started us on the slippery down-hill slope of ever-increasing local and foreign debt!).
But it is also true that you have failed to keep your promise to let Nigerians enjoy steady power supply (and your minister has now confessed that this status quo will remain, if your administration had its way, till 2050!); you must admit that you hold sway over a endemically corrupt non-transparent Federal Government of Nigeria which you have been trying to “clean-up” in a questionably selective way; that you have been unable to bring real and lasting peace to the Niger Delta because you refuse to talk to the real leaders of the peoples of this region (forget your selected acolytes who have humoured you by joining your frivolous and unnecessary 50-man council and other such veneer-interventions that do not even begin to address the reality you are ashamed to publicly admit, though you do know the truth—if you do NOT know this truth, then you do NOT deserve to remain in office one minute longer!). You prefer instead to bomb and hound them, God forbid, out of existence, just as continue to harass the press and unconstitutionally detain media operatives and other critics the same way Abacha wrongly harassed and detained you … come to think of it, Abacha was only aping the way you harassed and detained members of the press during your military dictatorship days.
This writer believes you were sent by God to lead Nigeria out of “Abacha-madness”, but whether you are come as a kingdom-flagellating Nebuchadnezzar or as a people-redeeming Cyrus, is up to each Nigerian, along with posterity, to conclude based on your deeds, not just your words. All told, Mr. President, whilst every Nigerian would love to love and respect you, and to support all that your administration stands for, we will do this when, and only when, your deeds show your obedience to Jesus’ injunction that “it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness.” Nigeria awaits your next gambit. Shalom!!!
