CONGRATULATIONS TO JONATHAN

I congratulate Dr. Goodluck Jonathan on his ascension to the position of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Bible teaches us that there is no one in authority who has not been permitted by God. It has therefore pleased God to make Jonathan our 14th President which event took place on 6 May 2010. I wish him a successful and peaceful reign.

I have one urgent request to make of President Jonathan immediately. Kindly set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to look into and advice you on the recurring crises in Plateau State. Several State Government Judicial Commissions of Inquiry have investigated and made recommendations, but no solution seems in sight after thousand of human deaths and loss of billions of Naira.

I plead with you to please give the Plateau crisis priority. Thank you.

TRIBUTE TO YARADUA

As a patriotic Nigerian I must pay my respects to the our last President, Umaru Yar'adua, who passed on to the great beyond on Wednesday, 5th May 2010.

He was an honest man who always called a spade a spade. He did not amass wealth for himself and even publicly declared his assets. His regime made the doctrine of the 'rule of law' popular. He was a gentleman per excellence. We will surely miss him. I wish to use this medium to condole his wife, children, immediate family and all Nigerians.

We should have faith in God Almighty. He who gave us a good leader like Yar'adua is well able to give us another good leader.
