Dear Sir,
I am writing to exercise my authority under Nigeria Good Governance Crops

(NGGC) to request to rescind your decision to sabotage the forthcoming election
on 25th February 2023 for the President of Nigeria. This is another attempt to
contact you to convey the message in this direction of the transition event. Given
the precedent set by you and Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we take it upon
ourselves to work with the friendship you have created to schedule this office you
have both so far occupied. I would like to express the sorrow I feel as I type this
request on cross-jurisdiction communication, especially since you previously had
such a close relationship with your party.
I understand the transition and presidential bid have added strain to your party’s
collective challenge vis-a-vis you and Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s relationship.
The truth is your relationship began to sour after a confidential agreement for a
closed session to the administration union pact you both adopted for our country
is about to manifest. Moreover, during the deal primaries fiasco in Abuja
Metropole on 8 June 2022, which then resulted in costly emerging presidential
candidates and your distinct inability to address the situation in a timely and
appropriate manner even if you are doubtful of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu as
your successor.
Following this incident, you should take full responsibility for a chain of events
that you started Sir. After all, you are in the same party and you were willing to
trust each other because you both started this and it shouldn’t be now an isolated
incident. When an effort was made to honor the reasonable request of granting
that presidential candidate appointment on a committee which was the practice in
our politics not long after this occurred we began receiving reports from
numerous principals that you had reached out to them directly in an effort to oust
Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu by publicly humiliating him through a popular vote of
no confidence.
We consider this as mere puff and we have not attempted to reach out on this in
an effort to clear the air. But, as it stands now you and your peers have called a
special meeting to sever his presidential bid instead and thereby diluting the
standards of an already corrupted system.
Our duty under a democratic setting at this period of the incoming election is not
to question any erratic and micromanaging behavior, which was very clearly
outside the scope of our duties in our role, neither our role is to suck you as a
leader, and we have refused to reflect on your own actions or take responsibility
for the choices that you, yourself, made. In addition, during your time on this
board together, you and he have made collective decisions that you should both
take responsibility for. One of those decisions leads to another consistently
branding you a presidential candidate on a second term - all because YOU all
want to serve on fraudulent federalism.
When an opportunity was available to satisfy our party’s (Nigeria Advance

Variation Party) request to feature a credible candidate and we requested you
ban the two frontline parties in their internalized thuggery capacity to stave off
distractions, you proposed an alternative solution so that Senator Bola Ahmed
and others could continue to be included - a solution that you took full
responsibility for and bore the abuse for a few months term when schools were
closed and various appointments canceled, you couldn’t even support such a
minimum sacrifice to maintain peace during a chaotic time. You have proven time
and time again that the only concern you have is for your own status and ego,
while also affirming that everyone else is to blame for your choices and
performance.
To be fair, Sir, you should have recognized the trends in his behavior long before
you began distancing yourself from him. Unfortunately, I wanted to believe that
you were capable of growth and that perhaps allowing you to lead would help
you recognize the difficulties of the job. The last point brings this lengthy letter
and the reason I’m writing to you today. Several grassroots people we
interviewed noted that your current statesmanship had forced them to develop a
mindset that made them not safer in their country and put them in a very
hardship position. You should feel much more alive and authentic and honest
and joyful leaving power successfully, and not putting Nigerians at the center of a
life badly lived.
We fully supported all presidential candidates to transition into the presidency.

Like I have said before, I thought doing so would allow you to reflect on how
difficult it is to balance the will of all Nigerians and the operational nature of the
1999 constitution. Prior to you being sworn in, Senator Bola Ahmed even
advocated for you to support you not that you don’t have your own flaws. You
were elected unanimously. Even so, we were aware of hearing conspiracies that
could have attempted to steal your coveted position, a position he helped elect
you to.
I want you to understand that you weren’t elected to be a dictator. You were
elected to guide your party through a difficult transition. You were elected to
provide a sense of calm in this historical period while Nigerians decide. You were
elected to ensure all the transitioning agencies’ boards underwent the extensive
peaceful onboarding of a new leader that wasn’t a colossal waste of public tax
money, time, and energy. You were elected to bridge any divide. In order to do
this, you needed to enforce rules evenly and you needed to follow party policies.
Sir, it’s difficult being in charge but it’s harder being in charge when you think
rules don’t apply to you. Most importantly, you need to support the will of your
PARTY, not whatever your individual point of view is. Even as president Sir,
you’re a single member of the party. Your job is to ensure that any emerging
candidate is included in pivotal conversations and to make sure everyone is
following the agreed-upon policies.
These are steps that your excellency has failed to prioritize in your leadership,
and we may no longer support you in this position. We have expressed our
concerns on our Civil Rights movement on numerous occasions that our political
system in general will continually work against finding credible leaders in the
scope of such a fused serious heightened boarded president. Sir, you have to be
careful not to take liberties in adding agenda items that have the tendency to
completely derail the transition period.
You have failed to make any progress on the numerous priorities our
organization identified last year, which was handed over to you, we won’t be
surprised since your social media liaison use is appalling. You have failed to form
a productive and collaborative relationship with your party-chosen candidate. Not
only do you demean hard-working campaign members, but you call party
insurrectionists that you all used as a battering ram against any opposition and
their staff. You have failed to address the abuse that continues to endure from
unhinged two ruling parties.
You have all the hallmark traits of legislative and executive members with no
understanding of their roles. This is extremely problematic since you’re all
supposed to be modeling and enforcing appropriate democratic behavior. I
believe you have not derailed in leading our country to the extent of denial of the
rights of others and essential interest groups from promoting their political
viewpoints, the rights our fictitious party will priorities upon calibration.
Your ongoing action is the final straw. Sir, why would mutual party agreement
strategic implications you successfully rose to power be in conflict with you now?
NGGC has decided to review the present situation. I understand that YOU and
your peers were on the losing side of your choice, but that doesn’t mean you are
allowed to undermine the party’s decision. The party made a decision and
instead of honoring it, you failed to make an effort to move them forward and
have consistently undermined the will of the party and performed your duties
poorly.
We have made this and we don’t want to capitalize on the learning from previous
troublesome adopted political repositories. This situation with respect to NGGC is
addressing a problematic state of affairs, it is important that information be
accurately attributed, both to optimize the use of precaution incentives, and to
preserve the moral rights of the natural national status of our people. To achieve
this situation of our Golden rates of your leadership all that is required to be done
is to grant the following demands of our Civil Rights movement – democratic
representation of the oppressed.
Here we are in the actions we consider necessary to remedy any unprecedented

situation:
1. You acknowledge your contributions to this issue and commit to moving

this country forward peacefully while agreeing to adhere to your party
policies and performing your duties properly without sabotaging any
presidential candidate effort.
2. You should remove yourself from the presidency immediately after the Feb
th,
25 2023 election since you have a very clear bias preventing you from
performing your duties.
3. We hold this conversation in a public forum, Sir, please let all Nigerians be
assured that they will exercise their civil rights peacefully to a delightful
turnout.
The trustee of NGGC is not tasked with scheduling the appraisal of any
candidate and we are not here to discount any of your good achievements. We
are also assuring you that you enjoyed your retirement having worked hard in
serving our country if you choose to leave in peace without creating more tension
options.
Thank you, Sir,

Higher Honour,
Abiodun A. Akerele
