his opinion about the zoning formula. Now he has gone even further
by writing an open letter addressed to President-elect Muhammadu
Buhari.
The 63-year-old celebrity likes to express himself through the pieces
dedicated to various issues. It might be either the stories from his
private life, the essays on family values or sexuality. The reader
might either agree or disagree with his position, but one thing
remains unchanged: the celebrity's publications never remain unnoticed
and generate numerous reactions.
See the recent one about, coming before Buhari's official power
handover on May 29. Charly Boy stresses the high level of expectations
inflicted on the future leader:
"Oga GMB,
"How far? I trust you have been getting enough rest and getting ready
for the mother of all battles in your life. You know how hard and how
long you have fought for this and now that you have it, we can't wait
to see how our lives will change!
"You must understand that our expectations are high, but you can't
blame us too much. By faith or design, you have become a symbol of
renaissance for a nation that has been battered by mismanagement and
unprecedented corruption. Kai! Odiegwu!
"Many of us were sold on your Change campaign, tired of the usual
statuesque and many more just wanted a better life for ourselves and
our loved ones. All eyes are on you, I trust you know that by now.
This Change should demonstrate to us possibilities, hope again for the
youths of this country and a channeling back to those core values
which we hold sacred. Anything less will be same of the same. Shey you
get?
"Fact from fiction, truth from rhetoric, I know that it is foolhardy
to expect that one individual alone can by himself/herself bring about
this Change we desperately need and earnestly desire. However,
inasmuch as you need to raise a viable team to work with, using the
formula of zoning won't cut it. My earnest advice to you is to choose
officers and men strictly on merit and not necessarily what
geopolitical zone they come from. Remember, this same zoning formula
has been used at different times in this country, and each time, it
has failed. The issue of zoning coming up now again is a reminder of
times in the past that we desperately want to forget. Same of the
same?
"I would want to believe that you have come to heal and fix the rot.
It will never be easy because of the wolves and sharks amongst us who
benefit big time from the corruption, the poverty, the confusion and
hopelessness they inflict on Nigerians.
"So after May 29th, as you put on your boxing gloves and crank your
whip, we will be watching with bathed breath to see not only the will
to fight this battle but the sincerity and strategies to lead us on
the path of true healing for our broken Nation."
