An Open Letter To The Minister For Power, Works & Housing

The Honourable Minister,

PERSISTENT DARKNESS IN ONDO SOUTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT, ONDO STATE

I write to formally bring to your notice the predicament and plight of the people of Ondo South senatorial district as a result of total disconnection of the district from National Grid over two years now for no just reason. As I write this letter children born in this district two years ago have never shouted "Up NEPA" as children from other districts do whenevern power is restored. All that they know is "Daddy go and on generator "

Gen Muhammadu Buhari; The Symbol of Political Consistency and Reliability By: Jasper Azuatalam

The attitude of many poltucians in Nigeria will make one to wonder if there are still politucians with integrity, steadfastness, consistency, reliabilty among various qualities that a consummate and people oriented politicians should posses.

In 2002, Gen Muhammadu Buhari declared his intention to join politics as an opposition politician because of what he describes as the inability of the rulling Peoples Demicratic Party PDP to deliver the dividends of democracy which they promised Nigerians in 1999. He contested the 2003 presidential election as the leading opposition candidate.

In 2007, he did not change his mind as he contested against the rulling party. He stood firm in what he believes. He became more resilient and determined as the days go bye. In 2011, he took another step in the same direction. The Peoples Demicratic Party PDP was ready to wooe Buhari as they were ready to give even more than half of their kingdom to bring Buhari to their fold. Buhari stood firm and held to his believe and vision that the PDP which has failed Nigerians should be shown the way out by the ballots.
