Dear Dr. Chika Onyeani,
Methinks that like all the good Goodluck Jonathan supporters you too have belboured the point ad nauseam, that should Muhammadu Buhari win the elections on 14th February, even when democratically elected he will start jailing people and confiscating their properties like a military dictator or issuing decrees and fatwas like Saddam Hussein the Caliph of Baghdad, that it's in his genetic code, although you can give no reason/s for making such a supposition.
Instead of wasting time overemphasizing something unlikely for someone who will be governed by the Nigerian Constitution, in my humble opinion it would be more profitable for us all if we could be taking a good look at what the two presidential candidates intend to do for the good of Nigeria as per their manifestos and what they and their running mates have been saying.
If indeed your predicament is " better the devil that you know" ( the democratically elected vice president who became President Goodluck Jonathan ) than the devil you don't know although he also has the potential to be democratically elected this time round, his fourth attempt to be elected by the popular ballot and his persistence surely means that he believes in the democratic route to government doesn't it?
One would have thought that a self-satisfied Goodlook Jonathan – if indeed he is satisfied with his performance so far, would be emphasizing continuity – more of the same from him for the people of Nigeria and not only for the types of Nigerians who celebrated "Goodluck Jonathan Appreciation Day" last year.
I'm impressed by this little news item: Nigeria now has 21 functional steel mills – Aganga
In the next two weeks of canvassing for your man you could be bring more of such forward looking realities to light – and leave the religious bigots to their bigotry, the tribalists to their divisiveness and of course the political harlots to their harlotry.
As a successful business entrepreneur yourself, I wonder how you think of corruption as one of the greatest impediments to Nigeria's greater success in all spheres – and how corruption should be morally and legally combated.
Best Regards
Cornelius
