Dear presidential candidates,

I know you are on pins and needles as the December 27 marathon nears the end.

I sense too that you are constantly surrounded by family and supporters, but still feeling strangely alone.

Whatever the case, a major change is about to occur in one of your lives, which I guarantee, will instantly earn the winner, one of life’s most precious treasures — “good and trusted friends”.

Be wary. But right now, I find it more prudent to explain the reason I make contact now, with whoever will emerge the winner.

Obviously, your first major decision will be to demonstrate what you want out of your presidency. As you go about defining your plans for our country, it is hoped you will do so in a manner that will consciously and deliberately steer you and us, away from the pain, loss and deep-seated ethnic vitriol we have been subjected to, just because we hold the power to put any one of you in that special office.

How well you heal this nation will ascertain whether or not the majority decision to hand you the mantle was a worthy one.

It is natural that out of gratitude, you will want to reward or elevate those who have always been there for you. A word of caution here: From the day you take the oath of office, you will, more than ever before, be known by the kind of leaders you surround yourself with.

So take this opportunity to demonstrate your fine characteristics by taking time to seek divine support in being quite resolute in your choice of leaders, especially your Cabinet. Do not construe this as a meaning that you should abandon true friends.

They deserve continuation of your loyalty, only that they should not be mixed up with the very serious matter of identifying a working team of sound thinking men and women of talent, integrity and a genuine interest in the development of this country.

I can almost hear you ask why I should write about your friends of whom I know nothing.

Well, when you settle down, you will invariably step on some toes, dent feelings and egos here and there and consequently earn yourself overt and covert enemies.

This is when you will need these friends of old. They will be of no use to you if they are already embroiled in the intrigues of power games and posing big on your account. They have their place in your heart; they will always be true and sobering companions.

Cherished friends are a rewarding experience, when you can draw strength and determination from them, in an environment where you can never be sure who is who.

In the run-up to that crucial day, some of us have learnt two things about money. First is that money and time are vital for aggressive campaign strategies, propaganda, violence and sometimes deadly elimination.

The second is that an exorbitant amount of money is powerful and comforting and certainly not meant for ordinary folks play. I suspect many of your friends and team-mates will soon learn that it is here one moment and gone the next.

They have not been paying keen attention where their money came from and where it was being directed to, before they lost sight of it. They will learn soon enough that, for some, it simply will not be there after December 27..

It is for this reason I urge you not to permit them to persuade you to slot them into positions of responsibility to steal from us. If you allow some flagrantly dishonest leaders, whose motto is wealth before honour, to lure you in this direction, they will also have irrevocably stolen your integrity.
