THE BUHARIs POLITICAL DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP IN 2015: AN OPEN LETTER OF LOBBY TO THE GLOBAL POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL STAKEHOLDERS BY ABBATI BAKO,psc I write as an individual and an International Political Consultant (trained as a Political Strategist/Analyst on Political Body Language/Paralinguistic sign/Foreign Policy Analysis, International Political Negotiation/Mediation and International Public Policy (IPP) Strategy and Lobbying at the prestigious University of Kent, UK, School of Politics, Brussels School of International Studies) also an advocate of global democratic governance particularly on African Continent and generally in the Southern part of the world. But my primary concern in this write-up is on my country, Nigeria and the possibility of the in-coming new democratic administration to be massively elected under the able leadership of Muhammad Buhari/Ahmad Bola Tinubu in 2015 under the (now) well preferred political party called All Progressive Congress (APC). Sirs, it is no more a news that Nigeria and Nigerians are at the crossroads; this means that we are at an epileptic condition striving for survival and at the stage between hope and despair. One thing that must be remembered by the global stakeholders is that Nigeria is a member of the 194 United Nations, one of the 54 African Nations, one of the 13 OPEC (that contributes some amount in global oil business deal that amounting to about $3triion out of $90trillion of the world capital) Nations member, one of the twenty resourceful nations on earth, one of the top ten most populous Nations (with about 170m population) and the largest black nation in the world. Certainly, Nigeria is an important part of the world that contributes to the development of the world; politically, economically and socially and also on peace keeping mission around the world (the Bitrus Ghali, Koppi Anan and the current Banki-Moon are living witnesses). And again, Nigerians have adopted globalization policy and are among the advocate nations that support the 3 principles of globalization; integration of global economy (singed and adopted Washington Consensuses Economic Prescription of 1998), Political Democratization and Multiculturalism. But the problems with Nigeria today is relates to (in African societies) what in the book of Professor Paul Collier of University of Oxford, London, (The Bottom Billion, London, 2007) described as lacks of 1. Good Governance. 2. Conflicts 3. Trapped Resources 4. And Land lock. How should these chronic and recalcitrant problems be overcome? How can Nigerias economic aridity, bad governance, corrupt attitude of our leaders in both government and private sectors be eradicated and how can we fix the nation back onto the right tract? I understand that the answer is simple. That is to allow and support Nigerians to vote for the right leadership that they desire and the leaders be encouraged to implement the whole of the 35 principles of democracy---pure and simple. If this time around the 2015 elections are not free, fair, credible, violence-free, acceptable to international standard; I understand that the common people in Nigeria will loose interest in the democratic governance and the country will be not at the bottom of the world, but is likely to drift into oblivion. I hope to lobby with the world economic, political, economic and social stakeholders to help Nigeria in realizing her dreams, to continue as a giant in African Continent and a regional political and economic power house in northern part of the world. And again, when Nigerians elect a new democratic government under the leadership of Muhammad Buhari/Bola Tinubu in 2015 (dont mind the paid propagandists on their campaign of Muslim Muslim ticket as Nigerians struggling to get out of the woods and misfits leadership) that the leaders be guided and supported on how to implement their agendas that will move Nigeria forward; prosperity, unity, progress and development. So that Nigerians can enjoy the advantage of democracy and on the other hand foreign investors (FDI) will benefit from the Nigerias population and the innovation of its people. May God save Nigeria and Nigerians! Sincerely yours, Abbati Bako,MA,psc,bsis,Kent,UK (Political Strategy Consultant)
