Re: The South-East Economy In a Post-oil and Restructured Nigeria
I hope it’s not too late to extend my hearty congratulations on your recent re-elections! Well. It’s been a couple of months now since you stood in front of our people and repeated those solemn oaths. The vow to lead and protect. Though some may argue that the processes that foisted you were far from free and fair, the facts still remain that you are now custodians of sacred mandates. The mandates to pilot the affairs of Ndigbo in a way that we can at least dare dream for a better future, having lost so many years to the locust. Am sure during those formative years, your Excellencies may not have been the best brains or the most gifted hands in the mix. Your wildest dreams may not have taken you anywhere close to this mountain top. But here you are today, chosen to lead among men. As a people with deep rooted belief in the omnipotence of Chukwuokikeabiama, I think it’s safe to say the divine lent a hand in your ascent.
