Bring Back Life Into The Military Again.. Obasanjo Writes Buhari In an Advisory Letter

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo writes a letter to the President elect, Gen Buhari. In the letter, He emphasized on him bringing back into live the military who has raised them both.

"I hasten to congratulate you on your success and victory in the Presidential Elections of March 28, 2015. Your success and victory after three previous unsuccessful attempts must be great object lessons for you and for all politicians, particularly in Nigeria. For me, the totality of 2015 elections hold many lessons for our democracy and democratisation process, which are both maturing. 

On this occasion, the system has been unnecessarily overheated before and particularly during the campaigns when emphasis was more on trivialities and hate, divisive, undignifying and disrespectful statements and comments rather than on pressing issues requiring attention.
