Your Excellency Sir,
AS THE GENERAL ELECTIONS APPROACH; BEYOND CATCHY WORDS AND CAMPAIGN
SLOGANS; MORE PRESSING ISSUES.
I feel so humbled and at the same
time honoured to write you. Prior to now, I had never thought I would, it had
never for once crossed my mind, but finally I decided to write because of the
events that have transpired in the past couple of weeks, since you came out
tops in the Presidential Primaries of your party and you became the
Presidential flag bearer, accept my congratulations sir.
So many things have been said and so
many more written, both for good and for ill, by yes men and nay sayers, by
your camp and by the opposition camp, by both the learned and the unlearned, by
male and female, old and young, by those who are for you and those who are
against you, the social media has been agog, so I decided to have my say as
well; to articulate my thoughts, and put pen to paper, so here I am.
Sir, let me begin by congratulating
you once again on becoming the Presidential flag bearer of your party. However,
I will advise that you should let your campaign be policy based; you should
communicate in clear and precise terms what your manifesto is, and you should
please do all these having the future of our children in mind. Personally, I
believe that every child deserves a decent shot
