His Excellency @excellency, I just intended to mimic typical Nigerian leadership. I have a number of radical ideas to implement as President of Nigeria. To begin with, I would assemble a formidable team of visionaries in my cabinet. I will not appoint a woman Minister because she is the wife of the Chief of Benin. Nor will I appoint a man anything because it is the turn of his father’s village.
Secondly, I will seek out the best qualified people wherever they are and irrespective of what they think of me as a person. I will send very strong signals across the nation from the top that our laws are meant to be implemented fully. OFficials of my government will know that they cannot commit a crime and hide under the umbrella of “family affair”. I will commit myself to a broad national vision of peace and freedom for all people and will not hold any personal ambition above this goal.
Institutions of the state will be strengthened by a strict policy of non-interference with their operations. There are a number of other policies I’d implement, but the core of all of them will derive inspiration from my personal integrity and commitment to high moral and ethical standards. I will not just be the President; I will be a leader and an example in all good behaviour and will demand and enforce same among my officials.
Thank you.
