Dear President-elect,(BAT)
Congratulations on your election as the leader of our country. As you prepare to take office, I wanted to share with you some of our expectations as citizens of this developing nation.
I'm inspired to write you another open letter on Nairaland as a result of the destructive letter of Chimaamanda, published in https://www.theatlantic.com/press-releases/archive/2023/04/chimamanda-adichie-open-letter-president-biden/673652/

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/04/nigerias-hollow-democracy/673647/

To me, our Nairaland.com is the best forum in the World. I was sensitise to the letter through this laudable platform and traced the source. I read the said letter from A to Z, and came to a conclusion, that if we do not celebrate and promote our own, noone will. For this reason I apologise on behalves of over 8 Millions Nigerians that voted for you, We did not do enough to celebrate you before now. We left the stage for the enemies to demarket your victory in the spirit of no winner,no vanquished in order to give everyone a right and sense of belonging in the renew hope which you promised the Nigeria electorates. We had almost allowed the enemies to paint your victory as unworthy. For the record, the election that returned you as the President elect was free and fair ,and almost the best in the history of Nigeria. I cast my vote in Arepo, Ogun state and voted for APC, though I'm not a card carrying member of any political party. I can attest before any established authority that the election was indeed free and fair. We were deeply happy that you won the election, but choose not to celebrate the victory in order not to make the losers feel bad and add salt to their open wound and defeat at the poll. I reflect on your slogan "A renew hope" which I interpret as an encouragement that Nigerians should not give up despite the destruction caused in 8 years of destruction by the locust, the cankerworm, the caterpillar and the grasshopper of the outgoing administration. This was the only motivation that made me to vote for APC.
We demand more from you, not going to be easy but the Almighty God that made you the President elect of Nigeria will give you the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to meet Nigeria at the point of her expectations.

Firstly, I expect you to prioritize the well-being of our citizens. This includes ensuring access to quality healthcare, education, and basic necessities such as clean water and sanitation. It is also important that you address poverty and inequality, and work towards improving the standard of living for all citizens across the diversity. May you also restore the glory of Naira as you embark on the aforementioned.

Secondly, I expect you to prioritize economic growth and development. Our country has vast potential for growth, and I believe that with the right policies and investments, we can achieve significant progress. This includes creating an environment that encourages foreign investment, fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, and providing support for small businesses. Our population should be an asset, not a liability. China turn her population to asset, India is following suit.

Thirdly, I expect you to prioritize good governance and transparency. Corruption has been a major issue in our country, and it has hindered progress and development. I expect you to lead by example and ensure that your administration is accountable to the people. This includes implementing policies and mechanisms that promote transparency, integrity, and the rule of law. Rwanda is a template you can study in achieving this, though not in the rule of law.

Fourthly, I expect you to prioritize environmental sustainability. Our country is blessed with natural resources, and it is important that we preserve them for future generations. This includes promoting renewable energy, reducing pollution, and protecting our forests and wildlife.

Lastly, I expect you to be a unifying figure for our country. Our nation is diverse, with different cultures, religions, and political views. It is important that you work towards building bridges and fostering unity among our people. This includes promoting dialogue, tolerance, and respect for diversity. Also ensure the restructuring of Nigeria, devolution of economic power to the constituent states, resources control and true Federalism should be given necessary consideration.

In conclusion, I believe that you have a great responsibility as the leader of our country, and I have high expectations for your presidency. I hope that you will work tirelessly to address the needs of our citizens, promote economic growth and development, ensure good governance and transparency, protect our environment, and promote unity among our people.
If you implement our expectations, we will not only plead that you go for 2nd term, we will force you to remain our life President by reviewing the constitution.

Sincerely,
Omoluwabi
