Open Letter: Mr President, You Need Professor Ugbah

MR PRESIDENT, YOU NEED PROFESSOR UGBA:
An Open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari from Comr Martin Iorsamber.  June 28, 2015.
Dear President Muhammadu Bahari,
Mr President Sir, as you do your last minute preparations to submit your ministerial list to the senate, it is good that I draw your attention to a personality you need in your administration from Benue State. Ordinary His Excellency, I

shouldn’t have bordered myself much by writing this open letter but the people of Nigeria voted you in for a change and we believe as a human you may not have all the magic to see in the hearts of all Nigerians to get the right team for the CHANGE we are expecting.
Unfortunately, I am not among the privileged Nigerians who talk to you ear to ear but I am a Nigerian desirous for positive change. Because I am not been sponsored and I don’t want to be sponsored, I chose to write an open letter with the hope that God who brought you to power will make my letter to reach you.
Anyone who brings this letter to you is among the few Nigerians who yearn for a positive change. The constitution requires that each state should be represented in the Federal Executive Council. It is on this note I wish to notify you of a personality from Benue State you most need in your administration that can help bring the expected change in Nigeria at this crucial period of our country’s history, he is Professor Steve Torkuma Ugba.
His Excellency Sir, Prof. Steve Ugba is the Benue Americana that took Benue State by storm in 2011 and vibrated the whole of North Central Nigeria with the slogan – Ishor Chenji, when he presented himself to be elected Governor of Benue on the platform of Action Congress of Nigeria, a legacy party of the All Progressive Congress. Even though there was a massive rape of democracy that led to his inability to enter the Makurdi Government House, Prof. Ugba’s loyalty, steadfastness and above all, humility in guiding his followers has resulted to the victory of the APC in Benue state in 2015 general elections.
