VOTE NOT FIGHT

                  

Despise me not my brother for we are bounded in one territorial border

Speak of me not as a foe or a stranger

I know you struggle to measure what drives my enthusiasm

It irritates you to hear me echo the mantra of change without cynicism

We both are a victim of the same system but surprisingly our motivation differ

That mine is driven by religion and yours by ethnicity will require the wisdom of a seer

I do know that you wish for continuity and desire to stay transformed

That you have chosen to be transformed while maintaining the same form may clearly not be my business

Though, I am very worried that I may have to maintain this form for another term if we fail to change

The momentum that my change mantra has gathered seems unstoppable

Maybe this is what drives your curiosity and apprehension that a new order is imminent

Before your very eyes CHANGE is a mantra melody to every common man on the street

While you have chosen to keep to the existing form I have chosen the part of change

New ways are expedient to survival

Do not be apprehensive because our goals are different yet, we both seek same prosperity and better life

Our bond of similarity may be broken by your quest to save the interest of a group of fat boys

While mine is a passionate desire to wipe away the tears of the man who has never had a voice

I seek for CHANGE not for greed but for the need to have a better nation

My brother, let our goals be driven by our purpose be it me CHANGE or you TRANSFORM after March 28 we are still brothers after all

Let it not divide our bond and borders for we are one Nigeria

It is an election after all and one choice will prevail
