MANY OF US ARE NOT HAPPY
Mr. President, i will be very straight and blunt. Your recent appointments have caused uproar in every part of Nigeria. I am not against your appointments neither am I in doubt of your resolve for a better Nigeria but you must run an all inclusive government that will not portray you as an ethnic bigot as many believe.
During the electioneering campaign, i quietly supported you and many times engage people on your agenda for the country and the need to have a man like you steering the ship of Nigeria. I was re-christined 'Buhari' 'Sai Baba' and other names that showed me as a Buharist. Mr. President it was not an easy road to take. I was called a traitor cos i come from the south south. Many really had nothing incriminating against you or accusation of corruption against you, they only centered it on the reason that you are an ethnic and religious bigot.
I could remember when Jega was announcing the result, then, i was in one of the South Eastern State and after you were declared winner and i said 'YES CHANGE IS HERE' , one guy nearly attacked me. He called me names and asked me to keep quiet or else he will injure me. I just left the scene quietly to avoid trouble this is not with many numerous "abeg leavam" from many onlookers. Mr. President that's how rough the road was supporting you.
After you assumed office, i still have to always defend every step you take because people have known me as your supporter so any wrong you do, people call for my head or gather to mock me.
Baba, your latest appointments was a joke taken too far. Your party was not aware and they all came from the north. Today many mock us your ardent supporters. 'We no tell you' is the greeting i 've been receiving since today. 'Buhari cannot change' 'Na him people him go favour'
even though you don't want to give the appointments known figures in South south and East, you could have given it to someone else. At least one between Chief of Staff and SGF. Mr. President Who are your advisers? Did you show them the list? Did you consider their opinion? Or you just went ahead and took the decision all by yourself. If the later is what has birthed this recent national outcry, then Mr. President it was not a good one.
I have just been wondering what Ogbonaya Onu, Rochas Okorocha, Chris Ngige, Joe Igbokwe, and other Igbo men who took the risk in supporting you will be going through in the hands of their people. They were called different names yet they believed in this course. Today it is as if they made mistake doing so. The shame, mockery and insult they will receive because of these recent appointments is unimaginable.
Mr. President, we are not happy and we implore you to thread carefully in national dealings as not to fuel tribal crisis or do what will make we your supporters regret giving you our backing amidst danger. Please seek the input of your party members in further appointments and remember you 'belong to nobody and belong to everybody'.
