The man of honour, you are welcome to Imo State. Please do take all parts of the country as your constituency. Work only with men of integrity and fight corruption head-long. Do not let Diezeni go free. Let the law of the land take its full course in the petroleum industry.
I am sure your advisers will be reading articles and comments on Newspapers such as this as a way of feeling the pulse of the masses. I would like to suggest our incoming president be called ” President Mohammadu Buhari and No more General mohammadu Buhari. Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria.
…Imolites have already decided before your visit.

Wisdom calls for choice. It is Ndigbo’s prerogativ
e to chart the way they will go in the next four years. Remember, presently, Nigeria is one of the nations where “Winner takes all” It is written – “There is a proper time and procedure for every matter.” President-elect
Buhari and APC are waving the OLIVE leaf @ Ndigbo. Not even God will profer anything good to CLINCHED fists. Buharis administration will be
administered on the principle of “STICK and CARROT” The choice lies in Ndigbos hands. Sai Baba Sai APC.
We will review and take appropriate action.
