Firstly, we congratulate Pres. Muhammadu Buhari on his winning of the 2015 general elections of Nigeria. Baba, we throw you salute. We at African Pikin Foundation know you have a heavy task ahead of you as it relates to the state of our great country Nigeria. We know you have your agenda of things you want attend to before settling in on your seat as president but, we want to also use this medium to plead with you not to neglect the plight of millions of Nigerian children wallowing in abject pain, suffering, poverty, malnutrition and so many inhumane things recalling them in this great country. The reason is this "they (the children) did not ask to be born into this world" and even as we all know that no parent would intentionally bring a child into this world in order that they are punished, there should be some sort of policy that ensures they receive their 100% share of fundamental human rights and this can only be made possible through proper policies that guarantees no adult can excuse him or herself from giving children what is rightly theirs and also ensure no adult would bring a child into this world without first guaranteeing their proper welfare. We at African Pikin may not be in the proper position to tell you your responsibilities as our president but we know we can, through the proper channel, suggest policies that guarantees the African child and bring to your notice any default in law and policies as relates the African child. Children are the future. They are the leaders of tomorrow. And they can only lead properly if we all join hands to ensure they a rightly equipped to take charge of the leadership of tomorrow. Long Live Nigeria, Long Live the African child.
