Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has written his first letter to the President-elect, asking him to be above board, and ensure that he carries out his promises to the people of Nigeria.

He said in the five-paragraphed letter that Buhari’s success and victory after three previous attempts must be great lessons for all politicians, particularly in Nigeria.

“I am sure there are men and women of goodwill, character and virtue... that you can mobilise to join hands with you in the reform, repairs and re-direction that will be imperative to put Nigeria back on fast lane,” the former President said in the letter he personally signed.

“With so much harm already done to many national institutions, including the military, which proudly nurtured you and me, you will have a lot to do on institution reform,” Obasanjo further wrote.
