Sirs, a joint press briefing and interaction was held by our leaders on Sunday, 25th February 2018 at Sharom Hall of the All Saints Cathedral of Anglican Communion, Onitsha on: burning issues across Nigeria particularly in the Southeast Geopolitical Zone. It is also a fact Sirs that all of you presently hold sway as Executive Governors of the Zone’s five States and in your respective States.
Consequently, this introductory letter to each of you is to formally introduce the 22-page research text or document presented to the world at the media briefing via representatives of the Nigerian Media comprising television, print, audio and web or online media establishments and their practitioners.
The 22-page research text or document is for your comprehensive perusal and executive governance actions particularly as it concerns your functions and duties as the current governors in the Southeast Geopolitical Zone and in your respective States. In other words, it is our demand that the research document be thoroughly studied, analyzed and applied in the course of the governance of the Zone and its five States.
Sirs, your gubernatorial attentions are not only drawn to all the 22 pages but strikingly and importantly to pages 15, 16, 17 and 18 under sub headings: recognizing & celebrating best personalities & achievers of our time in the Southeast and worst public office holders in the Southeast; and pages 19, 20 and 21 (paragraph 6) under sub headings: calling on the Southeast Governors to wake up from their slumbers and condemning Christian violence against Traditional Religions in Southeast Nigeria.
On a general note Sirs, the pages under the following sub headings should also be critically studied for possible turn around in your present clumsy, retroactive and ineffectual governance styles: qualities of an accomplished leader in public office (page 1), twelve core achievement parameters of a democratic leader in executive office (page 2), understanding concept of human security (page 2), public governance as social contract (page 2), social contract in Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution (page 3), social contract as a condition for indivisibility and indissolubility of Nigeria or any of its part thereof (page 4), institutionalization and codification of theft of public funds in Nigeria (page 4).
The rest are: how public office holders squander funds meant for public good in Nigeria (page 5), short statistics on squander-mania in Nigeria’s public sector (page 6), linking governance failure to squander-mania & bad leadership in Nigeria (page 6), governance & leadership failure in the Southeast (page 7), identification & celebration of few best hands in the Southeast (page 8) and borrowing from Mo Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership (page 9); etc.
Yours Faithfully,
For: Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights & Good Governance Organizations (SBCHROs)
