Dear Mr. President, I listened to your Democracy day speech. With due respect your speech fell short of my expectation. The Nigeria that you have inherited as President is different from the Nigeria of Abiolas June 12.
June 13, 2023I listened to your Democracy day speech. With due respect your speech fell short of my expectation. In Abiolas June 12 Nigeria, Nigerians were not divided along religious or ethnic lines like today. Nigerians irrespective of ethnic lineage voted freely in Lagos and other states without fear of molestation and intimidation. I remember that NRC lost in the Government House polling booth Owerri not minding that the Governor in Imo, Evan Enwerem was in NRC. No voter got molested for it.
In the spirit of the new Democracy which you referenced, I expected you to speak against such brazen undemocratic behaviour. You didn't. You supported them with your silence. It was wrong of you to refer to your opponents as sour losers. Your election fell below June 12 standard. Your Election Mr President, even fell below INECs standard. Please be humble in your victory. INEC is disappointed in their conduct of the election. The reason why INEC did not upload the results in real time as they promised was to enable them manipulate the results. Till date INEC has not completed uploading the results of the elections.
Just like you, I was founding member of AC, ACN and APC. We were victims of dubious elections in AC and APC.In your speech I expected to hear a firm promise to deliver free and fair elections where no voter will be molested and which will be satisfactory to all voters. PDP to which I am now a member rigged the elections in 2003, 2007 and 2011. They could have rigged the elections of 2015 but for God and President Jonathan who felt that the life and blood of any Nigerian is not worth his victory.
Mr President, please call your boys in Lagos to order. No one will be bullied in Lagos just because you are President. No one. Nigeria belongs to all of us equally, Lagos inclusive. Nigeria Constitution supersedes whatever law they are contemplating in Lagos House of Assembly.Your speech fell short of the expectations of our struggles for June 12, short of our struggles against Obasanjos third term ambition, short of our dream in AC. ACN and original APCs change.
