An Open Letter To Muhammadu Buhari By Engr. Ezenwenyi Stanley Chidiebere

Now you are president of the federal republic of Nigeria, millions of Nigerians believe you will transform the economic growth of Nigeria, restore dignity in the mindset of foreigners, bring about rapid infrastructural development, end corruption, build refineries and finally bring about constant power supply. I went to Alaba International market yesterday the 30^th day of May 2015 just a day after you took over the mantle of leadership and I was meant to understand that there has been power supply for some pretty hours and the man next to me said that Buhari is already working… your excellency, this shows that perhaps they think you are a magician because of your campaign promises, I remember you said Boko Haram will be a thing of the past within few weeks if you become president, a statement I have on video, so was awesomely embarrassed when your party APC denied you ever said that, Your Excellency sir, I was rather shamefully amazed when APC said you never said most of the things I have a video of you saying….i was also ironically disturbed that you said Goodluck Jonathan did not  give you any useful hint just few days to your handover and yet you praised him on your inauguration day on how he cooperated in the transition process and you said  “I would like to thank President Goodluck Jonathan for his display of statesmanship in setting a precedent for us that has now made our people proud to be Nigerians wherever they are. With the support and cooperation he has given to the transition process, he has made it possible for us to show the world that despite the perceived tension in the land we can be a united people capable of doing what is right for our nation. Together we co-operated to surprise the world that had come to expect only the worst from Nigeria. I hope this act of graciously accepting defeat by the outgoing President will become the standard of political conduct in the country.”  
General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) as we know you before the day you removed the title from your name, it may interest you to know that more than 15,424,921  Nigerians believe you can take this nation which is for now a definition of a failing state to the promised land where the dividends of democracy will be deposited at the door step of every Nigerian, regardless of religion, zone or tribe. If only you can fulfill just fifty (50) percent of your campaign promises in four (4) years, Nigerians will never forget you, please note that we do not want excuses. You and your party made lots of promises which seem impossible because we have known only bad governance which is a menace to our society as such the only disaster that can be likened to natural disaster experienced in other part of the world.  I am sure you do not need empirical evidence (borrowed from Mrs Oby Ezekwesili) to say that Obasanjo, Tinubu, Atiku, Ameachi, Ngige, Saraki,Silva are corrupt, hence you will dare not probe them….meanwhile they are part of the problems we have today. Or did they turned holy because they are in your party unlike IBB and co ? Today as God may want it you are president of the federal republic of Nigeria, with all the powers bestowed on you which on the 29^th day of May you  started exercising by moving our military base to Borno state….hmmm, one may wonder if this is how you will be moving our military base, for instance if there is militancy in the Niger Delta, would you move the military base to Rivers or Delta state ? An answer to this question will clarify many facts. Your excellency  sir, need I remind you that there were many campaign promises you made during your campaign? Well I believe you remember them because just few days after you were declared winner of the March 28^th 2015 election you cried out to Nigerians that they should not expect a miracle, you never told them not to expect miracle during your campaign, so they saw you as the man with the almighty formula to solve Nigeria’s problem with the mantra CHANGE as the solution, even though I cried out that the CHANGE we need as a nation is different from what APC represents, they never listened and now we are here. Your excellency sir, were you  not aware that our economy was and still is a shame when you  were singing your campaign promises ? were you not aware that Nigeria was and still is in crisis during  the campaign? Your excellency  sir, the ugly but beautiful truth is that you were  aware and you  promised....so we will not accept any form of excuse. We the people will in the strongest term ever register our humble reminders in millions if need be. Mr President you must as a matter of no choice fulfill  your campaign promises. Your excellency sir,remember the yardstick for good governance is not measured by the achievements of your predecessors. So we have already set a benchmark for your  appraisal in 2019....we have started calculating your  KPI  sir. I pray for you to succeed because nothing can make me more happy than seeing a better Nigeria. So I will be glad if you disappoint me and about 12,853,162  Nigerians who voted for GEJ as against your 15,424,921 votes by delivering good governance. You have everything in your favour to succeed, highest number of states and lawmakers.

Mr President it may interest you to know that in 2011 I preferred you to GEJ  even though I never voted for you nor for Jonathan then because I did not believe your stories, but somewhere along the lonely track of history mixed with reality I lost the trust I once had for you. I heard some of your utterances and  I watched closely your body movement and your eyes, and they were saying different things, so I became confused. Most of my friends said you will fight corruption and I told them you will fight corruption to the best of your ability no doubt but I do not see you as the CHANGE we need because I saw your eyes saying you will fight corruption yet your mind was with them  starting from Bola Tinubu,Rochas Okorocha,Bukola Saraki,Rotimi Ameachi, Olusegun Obasanjo, Atiku Abubakar, Chris Ngige  and  Timipre Sylva  to mention but a few, so I asked my friend if you think this men are not corrupt ? He answered me and said “ I WONDER HOW GENERAL BUHARI WILL FIGHT CORRUPTION WITH THESE MEN SURROUNDING HIM,THEY WILL JUST BREAK HIS LEGS “ That was exactly what my friend said. Mr President  if you really want to fight corruption then you must open the files of these men mentioned above, yes take us back to when they subjected this nation to hardship by using public fund.

Anambra South Decide 2015 - Ezenwenyi Stanley C.

The battle for Anambra south senatorial district is a big concern to the good people of the district and they are determined to restore power from the Uba's family who have over the years privatized the senatorial seat without good dividends of democracy delivered to the people. In the course of my research it was discovered that both Ugochukwu Uba and and Andy Uba have not delivered to the people their campaign promises,
But today a new hope is born as an Engineer who transformed the telecommunication industry has offered himself to serve the people and the good people of Anambra south senatorial zone are hopeful that when he becomes their senator he will bring good governance to the entire zone. He is one technocrat that can give the people of the zone the best representation and globalize the district to the envy of others. Here is a man of vast knowledge both in the banking and telecommunication industies.

With just seven days to the election, the people of the zone are hungry to use their PVC(s) against bad representation which the Uba's family represent.

ECOWAS Observers ready for March 28th 2015 election.

With Just few days to the 2015 election in Nigeria,The Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS has said that a full complement of its 17-member Long-Term Election Observation Mission (LTEOM) had been deployed to monitor Nigeria’s 28th March 2015 elections with 11 of the observers joining their colleagues already in the field after briefing in Abuja on Monday.

Following the postponement of the February 14 2015 election,the first batch of the regional observers had returned to Nigeria on March 2nd 2015.

THE DEMOCRATIC DYNASTY OF THE UBA’S FAMILY: THE UBACRACY.

Over the years, the Anambra south senatorial district have been in the hands of three brothers who have defined themselves by virtue of their actions as political giants in the zone in particular and in Anambra at large.It is very obvious that the Uba’s family in Aguata local government area of Anambra south have bought over the senatorial seat of the zone. The question then is whether or not the good people of Anambra south constituting of seven (7) local government areas ever put their senatorial seat  for sale ?  I call this Ubacracy which is best defined as a government of the brothers and for the brothers of the Uba's dynasty. First it was Ugochukwu Uba who occupied the office from 2003 to 2007, then comes Andy Uba from 2011 to 2015 and now the youngest but stronger and dreaded Chris Uba the well known political God father of Anambra politics who successfully kidnapped Chris Ngige as a sitting Governor  of Anambra state is now contesting….. my fear is that should he succeed as Senator,then perhaps in 2019 it might go back to Ugochukwu Uba for a second term then Andy and finally Chris again. We say no to Ubacracy. This is the best time for the people of Anambra south senatorial district to take what rightfully belong to them. The time for money politics is gone and the people want to experience the dividends of democracy.

From my research, Engr. Ndukwe who is coming from the NCC will likely get the support and the votes of the Anaedo clan comprising, Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Local Government Areas, while the Ubas will get votes from their Old Aguata Union ( OAU) clan, made up of Orumba South, Orumba North and Aguata Local Government Areas. Ihiala Local Government will determine the winner of the zone.Good people of Anambra south, what developmental projects have these three brothers brought to the zone ? Vote wisely ?
