Showbiz mogul, Charlyboy, popularly
known as AreaFada, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to take the welfare of
the common Nigerians as his priority, else Nigeria and Nigerians will die in
his hands.
In an open letter to the President,
the outspoken media personality said Nigerians are surely dying and, quickly.
AreaFada wrote: “Mr President Sir, I
trust that this meets you well.
“I know it has not been easy since
you came on board, so many wahalas, so much yawa, frustration and hopelessness.
“First rule of leadership:
everything is your fault. Sir, Nigerians are surely dying and, quickly. They
can no longer see the light, they feel the Heat. The welfare of the common man
must be your top priority henceforth or God forbid, Nigeria and Nigerians will
die in your hands.
“Since you assumed office as
President of Nigeria, there has been a remarkable dissonance within your
government. I wonder who is in charge. Sometimes I wonder whose thoughts you’re
thinking or whose agenda you’re executing; while at other times, I wonder if
you are held hostage by the gangsters called The Cabal.
“Can you say you are oblivious of
the hardship and suffering we all are going through? I remember two years ago
when I visited the Aso villa, then occupied by your predecessor. During our
discussion and my lamentation about the Nigerian youths I was not particularly
shocked by a reaction that seemed like one throwing both hands in the air and
saying “Charly, I am held hostage here, I am surrounded by enemies”.
“Sir, are you the one in charge or
like your predecessor, are you being held hostage by the cabals and obnoxious
sycophants, so much so that our plight and cries as Nigerians are none of your
concern? Na wa o, this is certainly not the change we thought you promised or
do we just assume that your words don’t mean much?
“Oga mi, abegi check the matter, you
cannot ignore the five percent of voters who did not vote for you but whose
resources the country depends on as alarm don blow, to cater for the 97 percent
who voted for you. This kind “one chance” is sending a wrong signal to the
whole country.
“Sometimes I just wonder how things
can function properly when the formation and the foundation of the ruling party
is not based on any sound ideology, but on frustration, bitterness, divisive
politics and a gathering of strange bedfellows. Kai!!!
“Presido, this your war on
corruption, is somehow o. Need I say that corruption is not only about stealing
funds, it is also about putting bad people in prime positions who have neither
the passion nor the qualification to do the bloody job. This form of corruption
is crippling Nigeria, meeeen!!!
“As I scan through your ministries
and key positions, I wonder how come it is full of village friends with the
qualification to the post is just to be a clan member. When leaders, out of
fear, realize that their lack of capacity could have consequential effects,
they resort to nepotism to protect self.
“It should be a terrible thing to look
over your shoulder when you are trying to lead, especially if you don’t know
who and who is just washing you. Na so.
“My people, simple and short, fear
dey catch me for the future of our country. I know that there is no vaccine
against mismanagement/incompetence. Most Naijas may have concluded that the
CHANGE mantra was only 419. There is great fear in the land, most people are
not sure where the country is headed, and what many Nigerians are asking is
whether you feel us, your subjects, if you feel our plight at all.
“I see so many of my people walking
with their heads dangling over their shrinking shoulders, being swept by hunger
and poverty in the land of plenty. God are you there?
“My people are desperate for someone
to believe in, Nigerians needs a Talk and Do Presido, no go-slow for the matter
because many things don scatter. We certainly need someone who practically
leads us through this pain with sincere action and not mere intents or words. I
don talk my own,” he wrote.
