LETTER FROM SHEHU SHAGARI TO BUHARI

My brother, you have contested the Presidential elections 3 times in

this country and in all these times,you have never asked me or my

people at Shagari village to support your bid. It is very obvious why

you can't do that. You don't have the courage after what you did to

me. You truncated democracy with a dastardly coup and took away

power from me.You humiliated me and made me to suffer,and you

took away my opportunity to RULE Nigeria. You said you do not

want democracy in Nigeria.. The same democracy you truncated,

you are fighting hard to get with desperation and diabolical power.

You have entered into unholy alliance with some known elements of

disunity in the south but let me warn you. You will suffer hard in the

hands of Tinubu and his political merchants who will use and dump

you as they did to Nuhu. In 2011, you cried publicly when you lost

election,and you made provocative and inciting statements that

plunged this country into untoward unrest. You provoked our hot-

blooded youths with war cries which erupted into post election

violence, that brought Boko Haram into existence, over 500 innocent

Nigerians died instantly, most of them youth corpers deployed from

one of the unifying agencies of this country. Personally,I do not have

a problem with your ambition. It is your arrogance that bothers me. If

you cannot summon the courage to ask me and my family to vote

for you because you know we would not,why do you think Nigerians

would look kindly on your past record of destroying a progressing

democratic institutions painfully put in place by some respected

fathers of this nations like Awolowo and Azikiwe. No my brother. It is

time to wake up from your delusion and do the needful if you still

have some conscience. I am not writing this to you with vengeance

intention. I am a practicing Muslim and we leave matters of

vengeance to Allah. I write to you as a Nigerian,your brother and a

statesman who is deeply concerned.Quit the presidential race now

and save this country from the dangling sword of Damocles being

menacingly wield by the crooks who surround you. This elections is

not about you or President Goodluck Jonathan. It is about the unity

of Nigeria which can only be assured by being fair. By this I

mean,being fair to the people of Niger Delta. We can only do this by

either re-electing Goodluck or substitute him with any of his kinsmen

from the South-south as that can only count fair for a people who are

entitled to 8 years in the office of the President. For the elders

council in the north,we have come to the conclusion to work towards

realizing that fairness. 4 years more is not eternity. It is not too

much of a concession for us to make to move Nigeria forward as one

indivisible and united country under one God. May Allah open your

mind to see reason.God bless Nigeria~~ Alhaji Shehu Shagari ( GCFR)
