I observed the recently concluded general election in Nigeria, where the power of people’s vote was evident, and considering the high expectations of the citizens from the moment the people’s choice was declared the winner “The Change Agent”.
Looking at the enormous work to be done to achieve the change we want to see in Nigeria, is it to talk of corruption, Impunity, poor management in power supply Power and energy, irregularities in the Oil and Gas sector, insecurity in the land, unemployment, indiscipline amongst the leaders and citizens. I asked myself, how would these "Change Agents" achieve their goals without letting the citizens with high hopes down? How will Nigeria be fixed by these change agents to meet the expectations of an average Nigerian? Wow!!
All that comes to mind is that this can only be done with the help of God and the cooperation of the entire citizen of Nigeria both home and in diaspora. We should be ready to push aside discrimination based on ethnicity or tribe, culture or religion, and posses the right attitude that will perhaps serve as the fertile soil that will enable the seed of change germinate effectively and efficiently.
But then the big question is “If I’m opportune to meet BuhariOsinbajo just for one minute, what one word of advice will I say to them as my support to their determination to raise a new Nigeria?”
I will simply tell them: “LET INTEGRITY AND EXCELLENCE BE YOUR WATCHWORD AS YOU RUN A TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT WHERE TASK AND RESOURCES ARE GIVEN TO PEOPLE BASED ON MERIT AND NOT CONNECTIONS, WHERE LEADERS ARE WILLING TO SERVE NOT TO ENRICH THEMSELVES”
What one word would you say to BuhariOsinbajo? I crave your indulgence every Nigeria citizen, as you read through this post, leave a comment by stating your recommendations and thoughts to BuhariOsinbajo that will bring about the change we all desire.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
