“Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”Your Excellency, please permit me to intrude into your busy schedule again today. After my last letter, I was so sure there would be no need to contact you so soon.
– Corinthians 10: 11-12
But I was encouraged to return by two developments...
The first was your response to a mid-term analysis of your achievements
and shortcomings as well as that of your cabinet in the past two years
of Transformation Agenda. The impression most people have is that
Nigerian leaders don’t read newspapers. As a matter of fact, that belief
was corroborated by President Olusegun Obasanjo, in his brutally frank
manner when he declared he had no time for nosey journalists and could
not be bothered to read what they wrote about him. I was therefore
gladdened to read your own assessment of what the newspapers published
as well as the eloquent defence you gave of some of your hardworking
Ministers. This gave me hope that you might stumble on this letter and
find time to digest its content.
