An open letter of apology to the former president, Goodluck Jonathan, penned by a Nigerian, Michael Joel, is becoming viral. From the former president’s exit from power, to the seeming non-fulfillment of electoral promises by the All Progressive Congress-led federal government, the author makes an unreserved apology and expresses hope on Jonathan’s return. See the letter after the break
Our Dear Goodluck Jonathan,
I write on behalf of all Nigerians to tender an unreserved apology to you for unknowingly voting you out of office as the president of “once upon a time” giant of Africa, Nigeria.
I know many will shy away from accepting this fact, especially those from the Aggrieved People Caucus (APC) who are commonly known for boasting of what they cannot or will never do.
Before your unfortunate exit, we Nigerians used to buy fuel at N87.00 per litre. Who knows, maybe by now you would have brought it down to N22.00 per litre had you not been voted out.
Your Excellency, believe me, we have all learnt the lesson and we promise never to repeat such a blunder.
It may interest you to know that we have finally come to terms that President Muhammadu Buhari’s primary ambition was to be a petroleum minister, but he was tricked by the known scammers to divert from his ambition to presidency for reasons not yet made public.
In view of this discovery, we are currently on a round-table negotiation with PMB to accept your unconditional return to presidency, and for him to rather concentrate on the Ministry of Petroleum till further notice.
Accept the assurance of the fact that once the “old soldier” signs the memorandum of understanding, we will communicate same to you.
While re-emphasising our regret as regards your exit from power, we are hopeful that you are currently on the drawing board to re-strategize and do what you know how to do best ahead.
Please accept our sincere apology.
Michael Joel,
Yours truly.
