Entertainment "You Risk Disgrace At The Polls" - Prince Eke In An Open Letter To Buhari

[Williamz]

Nollywood actor Prince Eke has reportedly written an open letter to APC presidential candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

The actor questioned the intentions of Gen Muhammadu Buhari as he aspires to be the next president.

Read the full letter below:

"Sir ,let us examine your service records. I consider your generation a very privileged one, indeed. In 1975 at d age of 33, you were appointed d Military Governor of d North-Eastern State, present day Borno & Yobe states.

In 1976 at d age of 34 you became d Minister 4 Petroleum and Natural Resources. In 1978 at d age of 36 you became d Chairman of d Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Today d reverse is d case. Most Nigerians at age of 35 are still unemployed and still living with parents.

Many are still not married. During your time you were already Governor at this age.One major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is that many elders like you have refused 2 voluntarily handover d baton 2 d next generation.

Life should be a relay race where one runs his race and hands over 2 d next. In Nigeria many elders like you have run their races and are still holding on tenaciously 2 d baton.But Sir, I have an important question here 4 you.

The question is simple, MUST YOU SERVE NIGERIA AS A PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO OTHER CAPACITY YOU CAN SERVE US EXCEPT D PRESIDENCY? It is very erroneous 2 imagine that you can only serve Nigeria only in one capacity.

During d regime of late General Sani Abacha, you accepted d appointment 2 serve as d Chairman of d then Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). D general opinion was that you served faithfully in this capacity.

Well done Sir! But you never asked Abacha 2 vacate office 4 you as your former subordinate in d army. Never! In fact that would have been a dangerous move, if not suicidal. Rather you served faithfully under your former junior in d army.

Sir, imagine if you take on another job like d Chairman of EFCC or ICPC or NDLEA. Nigerians actually need you 2 serve in one of these capacities much more than they need you in d Presidency.

Mere mentioning your name as Chairman of EFCC would drive many corrupt men underground. But you wouldn’t . Either d Presidency or nothing.

When are you going 2 handover 2 d next person? It is either you do it voluntarily or risk disgrace at d polls. God bless you sir..”

Prince Eke nicely written but honestly you are full of crap.
I wanted someone else to be APC presidential candidate so that he would appoint Buhari as EFCC chairman but then the presidency is the almighty.
Let me ask you question;
Did they president offer or ever made the offer to make Buhari the EFCC chairman or NDLEA and ICPC as u mentioned in ur letter? Or are you just suggesting, because the last time i checked there wasn't such an offer.
Maybe when GEJ took on after Yar'adu's death he should have appointed Buhari as EFCc chairman at least we would have stand by your opinion of him seeking for his boss position.
Just in case this is new to you the EFCC e.t.c are all watchdogs of the presidency, they may have their power but when the presidency asks them to back off an offender they do that without questions asked.
Disgrace at the polls!!! Really! Is that what you think will happen? Then why was the election postponed? It was convenient for PDP to ask for a presidential debate when they believed they had pressure points to press such as to castigate the image of Buhari, need i remind you that they did try to use the media AIT to be precise which failed in their sponsored documentary of the real Buhari.
Campaigns have been dirty with the president trying to say one or two things about his opposition and the vice president playing religion cards, in return they still get the response of the masses saying SAI BUHARI in their own campaign ground. You may know and deny that the presidency is terrified with Buhari.
They keep consoling themselves that they are going to win the election when they are the ones seeking to postpone the election.
But Bros maybe you don hammer like AIT so i will just say "Whatever makes you sleep at night "
