Dear General Olusegun Obasanjo
Should we go ahead with 2023 elections?.Many troubling issues.ltake party finance. Our Polling agents cut across the 120,000 plus polling booths are volunteer.they should be regarded as volunteers.
Volunteers do not get paid as employees at the very best they are given stipends or refreshments and transportation fare.thats all volunteers have helped to build the world expecting nothing in return,thats i nothing in return to those who had called them to serve sir that's one dysfunctional thing about 2023
The politicians have earmarked money to pay or settle the polling agents this is risky
I know you are a chief but i address you as a general
Recruiting volunteers and getting votes and raising finance are part of the true test of the competencies of our presidential candidates and other politicians but having failed or not having the confidence or stamina to recruit voters and volunteers and to raise capital other than what they have acquired for themselves legally or corruptly.
Out side the acceptable and best of traditions they have decided instead to deploy bags and bags of Money or at other times gifts of items costing lots and lots of money
It is expected that if you can convince the voter to be on your side and you can recruit him as a volunteer then on being elected President there would be an awesome amount of things, good deeds in this case you would readily be able to convince the citizens to do things like, buying y insurance not urinating in the open space, or defecating in public ,,support of alma mater,, blood donation, paying tax, investing in nigeria, having a bank account driving safely ,, drinking responsibly etc because they look at you as a leader you are able to persuade them and convince them without inducements just by word of mouth.that is leadership/
Sir i address you as General since as you once reminded us You earned you your rank
and its no small achievement,one in 100 Lieutenant become Generals'
My main reason of writing you is 2023 against the background of the Americans
Deciding that they that are returning to the moon /this time would be different
Because Of what i presume is the population of Nigerians working for NASA
Some how the swearing in of the Nigerian president falls on May 29 anniversary of the birth of john F kennedy who gave the challenge to the USA scientists toll and a man on the moon and more importantly bring him back safely.
General Obasanjo in its management 2023 polls can compare to what the usa did in 1969 landing a man on the moon
But in place of scientists and engineers we have polling agents and administrators and other foot men/its quite complex managing such a system
And our politicians have not shown they are up to the task
