NASIR EL- RUFAI – MY PRAYERS FAILED

-

To be candid, this was one candidate I prayed would fail. Me I cannot lie. I don’t know how to hide my mouth, I sincerely did not wish oga well in these elections but then again the people of Kaduna have spoken and the rest of us as true democrats must respect their wishes. As soon as I get enough money to load my phone I will place a call to His Excellency to wish him well. This was a man, I gave my hard respect. I followed his every word and up until very recently stood very much on his side on any issue and secretly wished for a presidenti­al run. But what we have been seeing and hearing come out of his mouth recently has given me a major rethink. Why and how he fell from the high moral lectern of piety beats me, I only do hope that this second coming would see a much more state manly El-Rufai instead of the things we have been seeing and hearing. My lord, the people of Nigeria are not a conquered people and as such we deserve a huge dose of respect especially in the way, you see some of these issues that cause tensions amongst us. We expect you in this second term to be more of a uniting force, a true national leader and to work for the general interest of the nation and not just a minor few who happen to find themselves in power. Me, I don talk my own if you like listen if you no like continue. History awaits all of us and there is nothing INEC can do to stop it from recording its position in the freest and fairest manner. Once again, congratula­tions, I really do wish you well, thank you.
