Obasanjo’s letter to President Buhari is on point. Before Buhari became the president of Nigeria, we traders were getting things easier. At least if you use N1000 in the market you can buy something reasonable for your family, Now you cannot go to the market with N3000 and buy what you can eat. Buhari has failed us. All the promises he made during campaign have not been fulfilled. Security has not improved. Look at what

Obasanjo has given President Buhari the best advice. He should allow someone else run the affairs of the country after the expiration of his tenure come 2019.

Obasanjo has shown to Nigerians that he is a complete gentleman who likes Nigeria and Nigerians as well. Buhari has failed to redeem the promises he made to during his campaign. Nigerians are dying for lack of food and drugs in our hospitals, and Buhari has said it severally that he is aware. Although he has achieved little in the area of security, that will not be enough to give him an automatic ticket for the second term because the masses are suffering. Many people cannot feed their families thrice a day. I see Obasanjo’s letter as a call for correction in the present administra­tion. President Buhari needs to show more commitment and sincerity in his fight against corruption by prosecutin­g past and present leaders who were and are still corrupt. Before now I had no peace of mind due to insecurity, but today I relate with anybody without fear. This is an area in which the president deserves commendati­on. About the 2019 general election, though I want Buhari to continue, I want him to create more chances for the youth in governance, either as Senators, House of Representa­tive members, and governors, and maybe even as president in the end.

is happening in Benue, Taraba and other parts of the country. He should rest and take care of his family.

Iam sure it is because of the sufferings of the people that the former president advised Buhari not to contest in 2019 general elections. I think Obasanjo is right because Buhari is not really tackling the problems of this country. Although the federal government has introduced good agricultur­al programmes, but the real farmers are not benefiting from such schemes because most of the people appointed to handle the programmes have no experience in the field of agricultur­e. I hope president Buhari will change his approach towards agricultur­e so that actual farmers can benefit from his programmes.
