Dear Mr. President,
Thank you for rewarding our die-hard loyalty with betrayal. Before the 2015 election, those who told us never to believe in you, and described you as nepotistic and tribalistic, and called you an unrepentant fundamentalist have been vindicated. Those who ascribed your 1984 war against indiscipline and corruption fight to Gen. Tunde Idiagbon did not lie.

Shortly before the 2015, I likened you with my idol
Thomas Sankara, and deified you like the Greek god Apollos, but like the popular cliché “the leopard cannot
change the colour of its skin,” you proved our opponents right.
Under your watch the lives of animals appear to be
more sacred than the lives of humans; killer herdsmen or better still, unknown
gun men, as you would prefer them to be called, are the second most deadly
terrorist group in Nigeria and not IPOB as your government tried to establish.
