AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU ON THE BORNO FLOOD DISASTER IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
Dear President of Nigeria,
It is sad to read and watch how Nigerians are now not just dieing of hunger but now dieing of human made negligence that is claiming many lives in our nation and of mention is the recent flood disaster in Borno State ,northern part of Nigeria.
Our country has been taking one step forward but 10 steps backward because of the kind of government we run, which lacks law and order, rewards, and punishment.
So many people are going away with so many evil deeds in our nation every day, and no one gets punished for anything. Laws are used against the poor, ordinary Nigerians and not the rich and/or the political class.
Up till now, Ex Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello walks the street of Nigeria without being picked up by law enforcement agents, Ex-Minister Beta Edu is out there free from corruption probe, no punishment.
There are so many anomalies in our nation and no consequences, just like this Borno flood disaster that may end up like other dysfunctional leadership in our nation.
We run our nation with no accountability, and this is why so many bad things are happening every day in our nation.
Mr. President, this incident must be a wake-up call for leadership to wake up to responsibility and actions. Everyone who allowed this evil to happen as a result of their corrupt inaction must be brought to justice.
Finally, May the souls of people that we lost in Borno rest in peace, and may God give the families and the community the fortitude to bear the loss.
In conclusion, our leaders must do better than we have been having since 1960 independence.
Nigeria must work, Nigerian can work, and I still believe it. I want my government to work, and this is why I speak on the issues that affect the nation daily
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria .
