A former Presidential Aspirant in Labour Party (LP) and the Leader of Rescue Movement for New Nigeria, Faduri Oluwadare Joseph, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove bad eggs in leadership, especially in the Petroleum and banking sectors so that Nigeria would progress.
In a letter Oluwadare Joseph wrote to the President which was made available to journalists in Kaduna, he stated that on insecurity, the level of poverty in Nigeria had no doubt , contributed to the high level of insecurity and kidnapping faced in the nation.
According to him,”today I watched American President as he delivered State of the Union address to the Congress and the American people and I can’t think to conclude that a President even at old age this brilliant would lead a great and prosperous nation.”“A president who understands the issues , the problems of not just his citizens but knows how to navigate between his own people and the world at large. A president who speaks directly to the soul of the nation and a president who comes with so many positive policies and even in spite of the opposition he faces, still achieved thus much.”“This brings me to write this open letter to Nigerian President President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In as much as I am from the opposition party Labour Party (LP), I still want my country to succeed because no doubt even in spite of Republican Party opposition to President Biden, every American still wants their Leader to succeed.”“I study so much American economy and as we strive so much to follow American system of government, one thing we refuse to follow is American law and order system and reward and punishment that makes America one of the greatest, if not the greatest nation on earth.”“On the other hand, our nation has been so much bedeviled with corruption in high places, greed, embezzlement and hence the impact we feel on all sides of the economy that nothing seems to be working.”He explaned that most times, “few of our leaders have good intentions, but when those intentions get to the implementation stage, they get messed up by corruption.”He stated that if Nigeria had sincere leaders and true players in the Fuel Subsidy policy, Foreign Currency Unification Policy, oil and banking sectors, “the impact of those failed policies wouldn’t have hit us so hard the way it is hitting Nigerians today.”
“To make the matter worst, no one gets punished for failed government policies even when we know they are sabotaged. We apply the full weight of the law to ordinary citizens, but to the political class, they go scot-free when erred. Many politicians operate as if they are above the law. In our nation, this is why our nation is not moving forward.”
“People steal so much in government, and all that happens at the end of the day is emotional politics at the top, not applying the full weight of the law to punish offenders when they do…Only in Nigeria, people think of self and never thought of the nation at large,” he alleged.“On insecurity, the level of poverty no doubt is contributory to the high level of insecurity and kidnapping we face in the nation, the war zone Ukraine/Russia, Israel and or Gaza is today safer than our country, especially the northern part of Nigeria. And except the government purge it’s securities agencies from within, we won’t have a head way in the fight against insecurity and kidnapping in our nation. We must upgrade our intelligence unit, we must use modern day tools to collect data and intelligence within our nation to be able to correct and put the nation to flourish again so that farmers can return to farm and traders can freely move from zone to zone.”“This government needs to speak to Nigeria people all the time, not just once in a while, just like the American government speaks to his people almost everyday. This government must require of its workers, the patriotic mind needed to make a country succeed, and then the citizens can follow suit to do the same.I pray this government is able to turn things around sooner and I wish Nigerians the patience to see the nation become better in their hands.God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
God bless Mr. President,” he stated.
