Director of Media and Strategy of Great Nigeria Movement (GNM), Edozie Okeiyi, publicly addressed General Muhammadu Buhari regarding the official’s intention to seek presidency in the next year’s elections.
It is not the first time Mr Okeiyi has shared his opinion on the political issues of the country. In June we published his piece titled “10 Reasons Nigerians Should Re-elect Jonathan In 2015″.
Today, October 10, 2014 the GNM representative sent an open letter to Buhari saying he had no other possibility to contact the politician.
It would be recalled that the former military Head of State vowed to declare his presidential ambition on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on October 8. It was made known this week however that the official announcement had been shifted for October 15. Buhari’s decision was highly criticized by some of his party members who insisted he should have anointed a younger candidate for 2015 elections.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd)
Okeiyi’s opinion on the current situation with Buhari’s bid was published by Leadership. See it in full below:
“Dear Sir,
OPEN LETTER TO GENERAL BUHARI
I have been constrained to write you through the media because I do not have an alternative way of reaching you. Permit me to share my opinion on your presidential ambition, which I think is equally shared by many Nigerians of my generation irrespective of ethnic or religious differences.
Sir, I heard about you first on the 31st of December 1983. Then I was a ten year old boy in primary six, celebrating with the whole nation on the arrival of our military Heroes. At least so we thought! The jubilations were spontaneous. The nationwide celebrations signalled the demise of the second republic and ushered in the military dispensation commonly referred to as the Buhari/Idiagbon regime. Immediately you launched the War Against Indiscipline and introduced the Nationwide Monthly Sanitation Exercise. The WAI crusade stuck in my brain and still reverberates up till now. To simplify the message my Teacher introduced an Igbo acronym for WAI: Wepu Ajo Ihe; which literally translates: Remove Bad Thing.
