It's been sixteen years of the third democratic rule in Nigeria, the seat of power was visited by three leaders in succession and bowing out one after the other under circumstances beyond their control. One completed his eight year term, the second bowed out through death while the last visitor is tomorrow leaving in obedience to the wish of the people. All left legacies proportionate to their individual wills and visions, but of note is the door of telephony opened to Nigerians by the Obasanjo/Atiku regime. It has improved the ease of communication and provided jobs for millions of Nigerians.
The citizens have been groaning and complaining of lack of employment, poor public infrastructure etc., so Nigeria and Nigerians deserve a new phase of life after over 50 years of independence.
The President elect, Mohammadu Buhari visited the seat of power years back as a military leader, enforcing morals and discipline and was booted out by his colleagues in arms. His second coming is a prayer answered. Nigerians, old and young, have over the years clamored for a revolution but change has come without violence and it's time to embrace peace and rise up to rebuilding Nigeria.
It is often said - the most difficult thing for man to embrace is usually change -, especially when ignorant of what change is offering but when it finally comes, it's always the sweetest if given a chance. Change does not come on a platter of gold, it requires vision, courage and consistency. In our collective desire to make Nigeria work better than it has ever done, let's give Nigeria and the president elect a chance to bring the desired change.
LONG LIVE NIGERIA!!!
