OPEN LETTER TO FORMER PRESIDENT, HIS EXCELLENCY, DR GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN BY PRINCE ERONDU UCHE.
Dear Former President and
Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
OPEN LETTER TO FORMER PRESIDENT
DR. GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN.
I am constrained to write you this open letter. I decided to make it an open letter in order for this message to get to you, and to have witnesses, that i wrote to you on this subject. The contents of this letter, therefore should be made available to all interest groups and individuals.
There have been wide speculations that you are under pressure to run for the office of the President in 2023, a position you lost to the incumbent, President Mohammad Buhari in 2015. Your visits to the Presidential villa, hosting of APC members, body languages of some PDP stalwarts, your silence over this issue, amongst others have raised concerns from many quarters. People like us who love, respect and learn from you as a great leader don’t know what to believe.
Your Excellency, you are one of the top Politicians who have enjoyed the full support of the Igbo nation. During your two presidential elections, you won massively in all the Igbo states and got the vote of majority of Igbos living outside Igbo land. Many believe that the sudden attachment of “Azikiwe and Ebele” to your name during your Presidential campaigns was to get the support of the Igbos. This claim, whether true or false does not stop the fact that you are well loved, respected and supported in Igbo land.
If you yield to this alleged pressure being mounted on you to contest the 2023 Presidential election, which is targeted at jeopardizing the chances of the Igbo nation producing the next President, you will have the following results;
1. You will loose your longstanding relationship and respect in Igbo land, Nigeria and the world at large.
2. You will enter the black list of Ndigbo. This generation and unborn generations will write and read your story as the man who betrayed Ndigbo.
3. All you stand for as a good man will be rubbished.
My dear former President, I advice you to reject this alleged offer being presented to you. Your Excellency, having attained the highest positions in the land – Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President, President and President again and having written your name in gold in the annals of history, it is there honourable that you end well. “Great men exit this world leaving behind good memories of themselves”. Maintain your honour till death.
Finally, I urge you to reciprocate the love and support you enjoy from the Igbos by supporting a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in 2023. Prevail on PDP to zone the Presidential slot to Igbo land in 2023.
Prince Erondu Uche.
PANPIEC Director of Media & Publicity.
