USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria's Boko Haram President Elect

First, to all who believe in change and in GMB, I use this platform to say Congratulations! Second, I would like to remind all that Nigerians lost faith in Jonathan a long time ago and if he had contested the election results, it would have been calamitous for the sovereignty of Nigeria. The lesson in this election is that the voice of an average Nigerian will no longer be silent or ignored in democratic process. No government will take us for granted again. We voted Jonathan in; in fact campaigned for him to step into the office of Yar' Adua at the latter's demise. We decided it was over and the fight against corruption has started. This is no lip service. Any government that takes our voice for granted will be voted out. I campaigned for the "Bokoharam" President with cash support, social media and my vote as did many Nigerians suffering under the weigh of Jonathanism. His government has cost Nigerians lives, light, growth, human/social developmen. He has no choice but to accept defeat. Now that quick acceptance of defeat also gives me jitters. Why? The treasury has been bloody looted. Fine. Let him and his wife (Madam Dollar) live with that but posterity will judge. And for those who still see Jonathan and his administration as saintly, you should have come to live in Nigeria where workers have not been paid for 13 months and researches are carried out with battery lamps and there a high level of disorder and immunities over charges of corruption signed by GEJ.
GMB may be Bokoharam, we love him. So, 15 million Nigerians are Bokoharam. In my wards in Lagos, right from the moment of election to the counting, we hired a band stand and did atilogu dance till 10pm on the State feeder road in anticipation of other results. Thereafter, we started praying to God to make the celebration total. If you lived in Nigeria, you will understand the need for this change. GEJ could not contest the election because Nigerians are ready to lay their lives down for the change. It would have been an ultimate sacrifice and martyrdom for national sovereignty. GEJ knows that much. He did the wise thing. After all, his cronies were planning to make Nigeria ungoverned-able for us (Dr Faseun/Gani Adams-OPC, Dokubo-MEND with their 4 warships. Nigeria survived their stomach greed). WE SHALL OVERCOME ALL OBSTACLE. The Nation will not disintegrate. WELCOME TO NEW NIGERIA WHERE GOD REIGNS AND THE PEOPLE'S VOICE IS GETTING STRONGER!
Ofure
