Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - In Search of Political Stability and Survival: Toward Nigeria's Third Republic

Dear Ike:

Agreed. Let us plan something on what small step we can undertake after the elections and the installation of a new government. My hope is that whoever wins the 2015 elections opts to form a government of national unity, one whose make-up fully represents the diversity of Nigeria and that that government takes as its mandate, the job of working with all Nigerians to reconstruct and reconstitute the State. Perhaps, we can finally say goodbye to the "chop" and "409" mentalities and nstead, opt for constructive engagement with all of the country's constituencies to create a political economy characterized by liberty and enterprise.

Stay well. John

Brother John,

We must continue with the struggle to make a great country even greater. This,
in my judgment, is a commitment we must make to this country and Africa
regardless of whether we are to the left or right of the ideological spectrum.
At least, we owe it to our children and children's children!

Thanks for your kind words.

Ike Udogu
