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.
