LETTER TO JAGABAN
By Chris Paul Otaigbe , krisval126@gmail.com. 08185591375.
It is official now; you are the president of Nigeria.
For over 63% of Nigerians (according to the votes Mahmoud Yakubu’s INEC allocated and manipulated to IMPOSE you on Nigeria, you know that even the 37% that is purported to have voted for you, is questionable; especially when we consider the Rivers and Lagos TRUE results as samples of this fact)… Majority of Nigerians who did NOT VOTE for you, your inauguration was the WORST day of their Lives yet.
The first day of your presidency has VALIDATED that fact with fuel queues all over the federation.
When you said, in your speech, that the ‘ election was FAIRLY won ‘ My stomach churned.
That for me was your first OFFICIAL LIE as president.
You Know full well, you DIDN’T even come close; in the REAL results of that election.
Which brings me to the CORRUPTION you promised to tackle.
You and I know that is NOT going to HAPPEN!
If you are sure you will FIGHT corruption, PROSECUTE the MOST FRAUDULENT INEC Chairman, yet, in the history of Nigeria; Yakubu Mahmoud.
Ask Yakubu to ACCOUNT for the over N350 billion he got to run the SHAM election, he conducted.
Your next test is Godwin Emefiele, the WORST CRIMINAL to head our nation’s CBN.
Ask Emefiele where the New Naira notes are and how he manage the money he BUDGETED for the SCAM currency redesign policy.
These two belong in Jail for their CRIMES against Nigeria and Nigerians.
I DARE you to touch them; but I would be PLEASANTLY surprised if you do PROSECUTE the two gentlemen.
But I will not be surprised if you DASHED them GCON or whatever awards you guys give yourselves in the villa in the name of national merit award.
Then, you talked about fuel subsidy.
Without much explanation, you exclaimed that fuel subsidy is gone forever.
To those who listen to my pontifications on Nigeria and her politics, I told them you would remove fuel subsidy.
Not for the cause of the Nigerian people; but as a bargaining chip for the Western powers; through the World bank and IMF, to ENDORSE and support the CRIMINAL electoral process that made you president.
You now have the fuel filling stations to deal with; because your ANNOUNCEMENT of fuel subsidy removal has, PREDICTABLY, led to another round of SENSELESS fuel scarcity that would eventually produce another DEMONIC fuel price hike.
As you read this, fuel now goes for between N300 and N500 per liter.
Is this the RENEWED HOPE you promised Nigerians?
For me, the coming on stream of the Dangote Refineries is one of the BIGGEST traps set for your presidency.
Firstly, there is truly no need for any subsidizing of fuel price at the Ports or Depot; because there is a Dangote refinery in Lagos.
So, Nigerians EXPECT fuel to be DRASTICALLY cheap.
I know some evil experts or government officials have been PREPARING the minds of Nigerians for a higher or same pump price in the guise of the FALSEHOOD called RIGHT-PRICING.
I’m sure you know that, as president ( and the jagaban that you are), you can ORDER the NNPCL to give free or at worst, VERY CHEAP Crude to Dangote as Nigeria’s contribution to the refinery.
With such contribution, and policy support, you can GET Dangote to sell fuel to Nigerians at double digit price.
To be fair to you, I have no doubt that you will be BETTER than your predecessor, Mohammadu Buhari.
As a matter of fact, ANY Goat ( and I mean this literally and figuratively) would have done FAR BETTER than Buhari.
By every CONSIDERATION, Buhari is the VERY WORST person ANY NATION would place as its head.
We should consider ourselves lucky that Nigeria’s democracy runs four years per tenure.
Can you imagine if we were to have five years per tenure, under a DISASTROUS Buhari!
Buhari remains the ARCHITECT and the EPITOME of the WORST disaster Nigeria may ever have to experience as a people and as a nation.
Till he goes to his grave, he will have to LIVE with the CONSEQUENCES of the Hell he visited on Nigeria; for making the MISTAKE of allowing him the PRIVILEGE of being President.
I wished you had ACTUALLY won ‘ fairly ‘ as you FALSELY claimed in your speech; then the Flowery speech you delivered at your inauguration would have TRULY touched the right chord in the hearts of Nigerians.
For now, they see one old man handing over to ANOTHER old man.
While both are SICKLY, the only difference is that the one handing over is an INTELLECTUAL INVALID, while the other is ALLEGED to be CRIMINALLY minded.
For majority of Nigerians, that is NOT good enough for the new Nigeria they hoped for.
Until the courts or Tribunal do their jobs of giving JUSTICE, you are the president.
Only an EXTRAORDINARY performance in the next few weeks and by that, I’m talking about not more than two months from now; for Nigerians to begin to FEEL signs of good governance; from your administration.
But this faulty start with the fuel subsidy removal, makes me doubt very much that you would be able to do anything that would lift Nigeria from this pit.
If anything, your government may end up digging it deeper.
Against the backdrop of the tension that has ENVELOPED the country at the moment, I hope you know that Nigerians are in no mood to ‘ make any sacrifice ‘ with respect to any harsh economic policy.
If you could JAGABAN your way to power, you may as well JAGABAN that power to doing GOOD for the Nigerian people.
