PLEASE SUPPORT DR. BUKOLA SARAKI FOR PRESIDENT AND WRITE YOUR NAME IN GOLD.

 OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR WIKE

His Excellency.

Dr. Nyesom Wike

The Executive Governor of River State

Government House, Port Harcourt.

Your Excellency sir,

PLEASE SUPPORT DR. BUKOLA SARAKI FOR PRESIDENT AND WRITE YOUR NAME IN GOLD.

Hope this meets you well Sir. I am a lifetime Democrat, a member of the People’s Democratic party (PDP) and one of your numerous supporters who remain proud of your achievements as a state Governor, your transformation of Rivers state, and your commitment to our great party in general.

Without doubt, you have been, and remain a blessing to the PDP without whose support and sacrifices, the party may have gone into extinction. You have helped in no small way to help PDP withstand the brutal onslaught, harassment and even persecution of our members by the clueless APC government. The result is that today, average Nigerians look up to the PDP for salvation from the insecurity of lives and properties, endless borrowing and burdensome debts, inflation, high fuel prices and scarcity of other petroleum products etc , to which APC has endlessly subjected Nigerians for almost 8 years of Buhari’s maladministration.

In the light of President Buhari and APC woeful performance for past 7 years, God has imposed on you and other leaders of PDP the duty to provide purposeful leadership for the country and rise above petty personal sentiments in order to rescue Nigeria and restore its glorious past for the sake of future generations. This duty cannot and must not be taken lightly sir.  

The PDP is blessed with great leaders of which you are one. We equally have highly educated, patriotic and knowledgeable men of integrity seeking to be President come 2023. One of them is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who has no doubt become an household name in the country for a number of different reasons. Many of us have also repeatedly and unconditionally supported his candidacy each election circle but we strongly believe that the time has come for us to allow others, especially younger candidates to fly the flag of the party in 2023. With Alhaji Atiku, voters’ apathy and boredom have so much developed to the extent that his candidacy no longer elicit the type of enthusiasm it used to enjoy in the past. 

With due respect sir, it is safe to say that PDP effectively has three good Presidential candidates from which to choose for the 2023 general election. These are, Governor Aminu Tambuwal, Senator Bukola Saraki and Governor Bala Mohammed. No doubt, any of them will be a better President than the current occupant of the seat, but only Senator Bukola Saraki stands out with potentials to be a truly transformational President which Nigeria desperately needs at this crucial time in our political history. It is not my intent to list those qualities possessed by the former Senate President which make him best suited for the job because you probably know each of these candidates or aspirants even better than most of us. You will however agree with me sir, that in name recognition, appeal to cross section of Nigerian nationalities, wisdom, needed courage, knowledge of key national issues and ability to communicate fluently, Saraki remains our best presidential Candidate come 2023. 

Excellency sir, with your past sacrifices and rebuilding efforts for the PDP, your name will be written in gold when PDP comes from the wilderness to once again restore hope to the common masses of Nigeria, and chat a new path for the country. This you can do by pitching your tent with a marketable presidential product like Senator Bukola Saraki who is already, a thorn in the flesh for Bola Tinubu and APC, as well as being the only candidate the Nigerian youths are rooting for. Saraki already epitomizes opposition to bad governance of Buhari’s government and a rallying point for every patriotic Nigerian who believed that the country is not only headed in wrong direction but also faces existential threat under continued APC administration.

Many believed that PDP lost the last presidential election because the candidate did not enjoy your full support. This time must be different. Hence the need to seek your early support for Bukola Saraki, the candidate best positioned to defeat the party that has brought untold hardship upon Nigerians in the past seven years. You are a shining star who has done so much for PDP but please remember sir, that “ *the* *past* *is* *a* *history* *told* , *the* *future* *could* *be* *written* *in* *gold* ”.  Your support for this candidate is a support for a new beginning for Nigeria.

On a final note sir, please understand that the PDP members in diaspora (especially in the US) are willing and ready to directly get involved in raising funds, mobilizing Nigerians and canvassing for votes on behalf of this candidate sir.  Eight years of APC government is terrible and traumatic  enough for Nigeria. Our people need you to help put an end to the plague because this country cannot endure any form elongation of APC rule beyond 2023. 

Thank you for your service to our party, thank you for your patriotism and overall commitment to good governance and the rule of law for which PDP is known and committed.

Yours truly,

Nika Ebony
