In the bead to looking into what could be described as one of the bones of your campaign “corruption “, believing can only be eradicated if uprooted from the tap roots. It was expected by Nigerians that the corruption project would have started from the very beginning of democracy 1999 to your inception in office.
The rate at which corruption and miss management of public funds meant for infrastructural development , electricity and qualitative education etc has brought us to the state we are now as a nation.
It will be unkind for us Nigerians to fold our hands and watch things continually decay.
If a government is cold, it is the duty of us the citizens to light her up in positive note and not engaging in horror movie attitude like taking to arms (terrorism) to achieving our aims.
Upon this above notes we concerned Nigerians and promoters of a disciplined government of yours humbly request you review your corruption agenda and start from the very beginning.
President Olusegun Obasanjo upon resumption as a democratically elected President of Nigeria 1999, is expected to have been the first to taste the bitterness induced on our economic growth.
Foreign investors can only invest in countries that can guarantee their ease to cost of production to profit their inputs and Power (electricity) is one of the basic check of any investors,but since the inception of democracy, nothing relatively had been done to savage the Power sector but much had been documented as funds used to reviving the sectors.
We no longer want the world to think your office is used to winch hunt your enemies, we want the world to know that the generation of light has come to sweep off all that has contributed to the present state of the nation. And we make our request as follows :
That President Olusegun Obasanjo be investigated on hthe huge sum of funds released for power plants that was to generate reasonable mw electricity
May I bring to your already existing knowledge Mr President that Nigerians are happy that fighting corruption is one of your key agenda but not satisfied by the trap clamping on just few when the major perpetrators of the crime that has dragged our economy down are still loud in the society instead of hide their face in shame.
We see your inability to having President Olusegun Obasanjo invited for questioning as weakness parallel to the spirit you exhibited prior to your becoming Presidency.
The possibilities of your return to Aso Rock lies in your hands. We had always believed in you to making the difference but may not be able to contend it when your efforts is been sabotaged by same cabal that drained our economy dry.
Your failure to grant our request would definitely backfire which could have negative effect on your re election.
The major setback Nigeria is having is the inability of our leaders to doing the purpose they are elected for and we see your office as making the difference unless you prove otherwise.
Nigerians are wise now and are ready to kick out any administration that tend to sweep under the carpet those leaders that had squandered funds meant for the infrastructural development of the nation.
Our call for President Olusegun Obasanjo to give account of the use of funds meant for power could determine your re election into office come 2019. And the failure of your office to doing the needful is practically a sign of weakness and Nigerians wants a vibrant and fearless leader and would not hesitate to fire any administration coated with weakness.
