OMOTAYO, J. A.    Lagos, NIGERIA    May 10, 2007

I congratulate my dear brother, Mr. Paul Adujie, for this masterpiece. We all desire your wishes.

But how can these wishes manifest in the face of deception, daylight robbery, wrecklessness and corrpution being perpetrated by the Obasanjo administration?

How can they manifest when those who are supposed to be unbiased umpires like INEC and the security agencies are biased?

How can they manifest when in just 8 years, the Obasanjo government realised so much money from excalation in the cost of crude oil but yet provide nothing tangible for the people: no roads, water supply, electricity supply, rail road, etc.

How can they manifest when we see well tarred roads, flowing water supplies etc more on the television than when we go out in the streets of major cities, towns and villages?

How can you fly the Nigerian plane when Nigeria has none even with so much inflow in revenue? How can any of these wishes be accomplished without first putting right all that have been muddled up by the Obasanjo administration in the last eight years?

The journey of a hundred years starts with the first step. Our first step at creating an enabling environment for all your best wishes is the election of a successor administration. It was marred by excessive rigging. Progress cannot be made by just wishing it. Rather it must be worked for.

This is why we should be able to call a spade a spade. We must be frank and bold enough to tell the truth. Nigeria belongs to all of us naturally equally, though unequally artificially.

My advice is the you too must be a part of those championing the course of truth without any bias. This is the message here.

God bless Nigeria.
