I trust you are not letting the rot and
the decay you met in the system overwhelm you. I was filled with
expectation when you emerged winner. I prayed that you would be a
catalyst in redirecting our drifting country; because many things spoil
no be small.
I can’t say that I was too thrilled
with some of your selections for the ministerial posts, but I suspected
you had a good reason for most of the choice you made. Your
campaign was about change, which I hoped was all-encompassing- change in our mindset, our attitude to work, and above all, not business as usual.

It is based on one of your outstanding ministerial selections that I write this personal letter to you.
My Presido, please tell all them brown
nosed praise singers, called politrickcians to hands off meddling and
interrupting the flow of our Honorable Minister of Petroleum.
Dr Ibe
Kachikwu. We are all aware of the plots, nonsensical, local and ethnic
intrigues called politics being thrown up to tamper with Ibe Kachikwu’s
position. I warn that a stop must be put to this. We all know that
corruption is fighting back the war against corruption. With the changes
I have seen in NNPC and my personal interaction with this outstanding
Nigerian of great repute, a humble, brilliant, intelligent and an
outstanding scholar; one of the few patriots in your cabinet, it will
be a disaster if we lose him. You know this is no lie.
While I don’t want to tow the line of ethnic or tribal
propaganda, those claiming that this call for Kachikwu’s sack is
entirely an ethnic proclivity may not be far from the truth, going by
precedence we all know. At this stage and age of our democracy, such
childish tendencies and immaturity ought to be dealt away with, if we
all truly hold the interest of this nation dear. These useless yahoo
yahoo leaders should desist from their frivolous, devisive, tribal, and
ethnic politics and allow him do his job basically.
As a result of corruption, we have found round pegs in
square holes; because of corruption, thieves and criminals took over
leadership and because of corruption, our economy is in this mess.Even
with your fight Sai Baba, you can see that winning the battle against
corruption is not an easy one; it is worse than Boko Haram.
It is clear that most of the people responsible for our
economic woes are fighting back, not knowing what you may do next. In my
opinion, this is one of the ways they’re putting up the fight: they
want to rid your government of the few who can make visible impact in a
system that has hitherto been jeopardized.
These unscrupulous elements must not be
allowed to find you predictable, they must not be able to hold you
hostage in your own administration, they must not turn you to a mere
stooge as it was the case in Nigeria in not too distant past. You no be
zoombie.
Let those who know the job be allowed
to do it or else, I will be forced to mobilize 2,000,000 protesters to
march against this useless agitation.
Enough is enough, you are the President, please take charge.
What you decide to do next will determine, to a great extent, how this Naija ship is steered.
We are all watching, and waiting. Thank you Your Excellency, for reading.
Best Regards,
Charles ‘CharlyBoy’ Oputa.
