As much I am very happy that today I am addressing you as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; I must say that this is as far as I am concerned the only reason to rejoice – having you at the helms of affairs at a time when the country hit the rock.
Mr President Sir, your victory is a testament of your popularity among the common man who voted for you against a sitting President who also came into power with a tremendous goodwill but failed to deliver on his promises of transformation. This should be your first reference point as you begin your term as President.
The common man on the street today is eager to see the change that has been the mantra of your campaign, as a people and as a nation we are faced with enormous challenges, these daunting but surmountable challenges ( I will needlessly remind you) Security: Boko Haram, Cattle Rustling, Middle-Belt crisis, Kidnapping/Trafficking and Oil Bunkering. Others include Job Creation , Fostering National unity, Reviving our crippling Economy, Poor Health Care Delivery, Falling Standard of Education and of course fighting corruption among others.
This vicious circle as you always refer to these myriads of problems facing our dear nation Nigeria, needs to be broken almost immediately and deal with them simultaneously. I am under no illusion that you are coming with a magic wand to turn things around but your Excellency Nigerians voted for you because they believe in you and your capacity to face these challenges head-on by identifying a team of competent Nigerians to salvage us from our current predicament.
