Your Excellency, Laurent GbagboI hasten to mention that the claims by the opposition of having won the election are not amusing. I shudder to imagine how the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) would declare Alassane Ouattara the winner of the 28 November run-off. Was it not you, Your Excellency, who permitted for the creation of such a commission? It is unbelievable that one would bite the hand that feeds him.
And to imagine that the opposition leader would ever conceive himself as president, whilst you are still alive is not only treasonable, but heretical in African politics. I for once have stood my ground in my Zimbabwe and proven that no opposition leader replaces me. Over my dead body!
Never a colony again
My main opponent in Zimbabwe, who is now Prime Minister, the equivalent of a minister without portfolio, was atrociously impertinent to come to the office and demand rights that he along with me, the Executive President of the Republic of Zimbabwe and Commander-In-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces would share power. Ridiculous and unbelievable, how on earth would we allow American and British acolytes to take over and rule? Mr President Sir, your victory has proven to the world that Africa will never be a colony again, and for once, my Zimbabwe will never! Never!
It is painful though to notice that there is a lot of Afro-Romanticism being peddled along by these young Turks as they demand democracy. This is sheer fantastic fantasy Mr. President. It would be a fatalistic approach for renowned sons of Africa, like you and me, to cede power to FEDs (Fantasy Engulfed Democrats).
My own Ma-Opponent-De-Chief (MDC) who turned out to be the prime minister in this political marriage of convenience, Mr. Tsvangirai is politically blind yet demands that he wears political glasses. The same is said of Kenya, also in the so-called coalition government. Mr. Odinga has made a circus of himself in the past week, at one time calling for the arrest of gays and the next morning backtracking on his words, and how would we entrust a country to such a fiddler?
We are very much strengthened by your declaration Saturday after your swearing in ceremony when you declared “I am charged with defending our sovereignty and I will not negotiate on that”. Such a statement is indicative to anyone in Africa and beyond that as passionate power grabbers, we are not ready to compromise.
Never share power
Never try to share power in the so-called coalition government, the opponents will turn not only to share a piece of the cake, rather, they want the whole cake. I have been watching my spouse with curiosity; he now takes me to court for what he thinks have been violations to the GPA (Grace-ious Peoples Agreement).
Knowing you are in a compromising situation, let me allow you to deal with pressing issues, but in case things turn otherwise, Zimbabwe is ready to welcome and host you, like we did with our friend Mengesithu, in case you find yourself seeking asylum.
Finally, President Sir, congratulations and the people of Zimbabwe wish you a long and prosperous presidency.
With my ears to the ground, yours, Bob
