Obasanjo writes Gen. Buhari a letter

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written the President elect, Gen Buhari a letter. In the letter, Chief Obasanjo charged Gen. Buhari to embark on reforming all of Nigeria's national institutions, particularly the military. The full text of the letter below...
I hasten to congratulate you on your success and victory in the Presidential Elections of March 28, 2015. Your success and victory after three previous unsuccessful attempts must be great object lessons for you and for all politicians, particularly in Nigeria. For me, the totality of 2015 elections hold many lessons for our democracy and democratisation process, which are both maturing. On this occasion, the system has been unnecessarily overheated before and particularly during the campaigns when emphasis was more on trivialities and hate, divisive, undignifying and disrespectful statements and comments rather than on pressing issues requiring attention.
I know that in victory, you will be magnanimous to start binding the wounds and bitterness occasioned by the campaign and the evil disciples.

With so much harm already done to many national institutions including the military, which proudly nurtured you and me, you will have a lot to do on institution reform, education, healthcare, economy, security, infrastructure, power, youth employment, agribusiness, oil and gas, external affairs, cohesiveness of our nation and ridding our land of corruption.

Your varied and wide experience will undoubtedly stand you in good stead. I am also sure that there are men and women of goodwill, character and virtue across the board that you can mobilise to join hands with you in the reform, repairs and redirection that will be imperative to put Nigeria back on the fast lane of good governance, unity, cohesiveness, development and progress.

Once again, I felicitate with you and wish you well.

Here they are, just a day after the 2015 presidential election result was announced, a military restructuring became a priority. This letter will certainly crop in negative ideas into the minds of innocent Nigerians who for one reason refused to vote Gen. Buhari. Yes the election was deemed free and fair, the best so far and has proven Nigeria to be a mature nation. this letter at this premature stage of victory is not encouraging. Are they planning to bring back military rule????????? .

Evil disciples? You mean you? Nigerian politics is a game of who can deceive the masses better! If you carefully look at both parties youll find the same lying, deceitful, greedy politicians. We usually hit the refresh button every election, but no more! This election is about the people and not you politicians, Nigerians have evolved!
If Buhari messes up, we'll vote him out come 2019, alongside any governor or lawmaker who doesn't keep his/her promise.

Sad, so sad!!! Obj your time for divine retribution shall come, then we shall know your true intentions. You try to play God in the affairs of men. Obviously your cup has overflown, only a matter of time shall you reap the harm you have done to this Nation. So sad, that my people are so blinded in believing and following you but time will surely expose you and your acts. I leave your case to the Almighty, I know surely justice will be served. It's with pain I see how you effortlessly manipulate Nigerians to your selfish advantage. I don't play you but the gullible ones that will follow you without thinking.

@Anonymous blogger God bless you! The bombings stopped as soon as that bastard went back to otuoke. He could no longer give the orders. See how God punished him. The final nail on the coffin of his defeat was given by the same state the destroyed the most.
He was carrying out crafty genocide on those people. Gen Azazi would have exposed him, that's why they killed him quickly. Jonathan's day of reckoning will still come.
People are now being sentimental, they can't remember how his wife almost allocated all lands in abj to herself like napoleon. They can't remember how jonathan and people in his cabinet milked the country dry. Posterity will surely judge.

Having carefully read through majority of the comments we have here, i observe, without taking away the freedom to expression, a lot of comment outside the box, which are good but unnecessary. The missive remain a congratulatory one and as such be treated as one. we should be guided to avoid been Orubebe. Having said that, Baba, I wanna believe the president elect digested ur intent better. Long live Nigeria
