The former National Vice Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Salihu Moh Lukman, has written an open letter to the former President Olusegun Obasanjo, asking him to support the ongoing arrangements to enthrone a Godly leader in the country.
In the open letter on Monday, Lukman also asked all the former Presidents like Gen. Yakubu Gowon, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, former President Goodluck Jonathan and former President Muhammadu Buhari to correct their past mistakes and join the forces to dethrone “Satanic leaders.”
The open letter was reacting to a reported comments credited to former President Obasanjo, where he said that “leader made by Satan is bound to fail, while God’s chosen one will thrive.”
According to Lukman, capacity to stop giving birth to leaders with Satanic genotype may be a function of ability to re-engineer our politics and democracy. This is only possible if leaders like Your Excellency can remorsefully look at the political realities facing the country and acknowledge the mistakes you all committed.
He added that whether Nigeria can produce leaders with Godly genotype and not Satanic genotype depends on whether we can re-engineer our politics to produce at least one political party with potential to produce leaders with Godly genotype.
“My appeal therefore is for you and all past leaders of the country to unconditionally declare support for the emergence of Godly leaders in the country. This is only possible if mistakes of the past that led to the current sad reality of having Satanic leaders at all levels are corrected.
“One way of achieving that is through working to produce a functional political party. Remember how patriotic Nigerians worked to form the PDP in 1998. And having formed the PDP made it functional and use it to negotiate a national agreement leading to Your Excellency’s emergence as the Presidential candidate and your eventual electoral victory in 1999.
“The reality is that Satanic leaders took over at all levels of Nigeria largely because all the structures that are required to facilitate emergence of Godly leaders as candidates for elections were weakened, if not destroyed. Therefore, if we want to produce Godly leaders, Your Excellency, all past leaders and all patriotic Nigerians must apply themselves towards rebuilding Nigerian politics to facilitate effective negotiations towards the emergence of candidates with Godly genotype.
“The unity of all opposition political leaders is the first precondition. The second precondition is that negotiation to produce the political platform that will lead to the emergence of functional political party must not be driven by the ambition of any of the opposition leaders. In other words, all opposition leaders must set aside their personal ambitions.
“The third is that all opposition leaders must prioritise building strong relationship with each other, which is itself a function of high respect for one another. Any opposition leader working to outsmart others and impose his/her ambition has the Satanic genotype and is adversorial to the emergence of a functional political party in the country.
“We must appeal to Your Excellency, and through you to all past political leaders of the country, and by extension all patriotic Nigerians to stop encouraging the current divisive orientation of political opposition in the country. Anyone who truly want Nigeria to produce Godly leaders must go beyond lamentations and take all the necessary step to correct the mistake of the past, which on account of acts of commission or omission made Nigeria to end up with Satanic leaders at all levels. Simple statement to all our opposition political leaders, many of whom are candidates for Satanic leadership, to drop their ambitions and join forces with other opposition leaders may be enough to create a new humbling political reality in the country.
“If all our past leaders can discharge such a responbility leading to new political engineering in the country, they could have justified God’s wishes and blessings of long life. No doubt, this could be one important mission God has reserved for Your Excellencies.
“Like other successful missions to your credits, if you add this to your records of achievements, it will further engrave you and all patriots who works to rebuild Nigeria’s democracy from its current despicable state, as the architects of new Nigeria. May God Almighty continue to strengthen Your Excellency and all past leaders with wisdom, courage and large heart to intervene and correct all the mistakes of the past. Getting Nigeria out its current boiling point and producing Godly leaders at all levels is very necessary and urgent. Nigeria urgently need God chosen leaders that would succeed at all levels!”
