“My prayers for your success as you prepare to assume office as President of the Federal republic of Nigeria, at a critical point in our collective national history. A point when our youths have never been so skeptical about the future, when despondency has almost become synonymous with our national identity.
“But perhaps you were born for just a time as this in our nation’s history, to bring “Renewed Hope” to a nation tottering on the cusp of despair.”
