<p>I write you with the utmost sense of respect.</p>
<p>Permit me to begin by congratulating you. Not in the usual way, but in a manner that reflects a keen observation of recent developments in our country. Since the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President, and coincidentally since your assumption of office as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Federal University of Applied Sciences Kachia, there appears to have been a remarkable shift in the narrative of insecurity across Nigeria.</p>
<p>From Zamfara State to Sokoto State, Katsina State, Benue State, Plateau State, Kwara State, and indeed across several troubled parts of our nation, one might be tempted to conclude that the k!llings have suddenly come to an end. The silence is striking. The headlines have softened. The urgency has waned.</p><div class="t9APHxY2" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>It is this very contrast that compels this letter.</p>

<p>You will recall, Bishop, your powerful and courageous interventions during the administration of Muhammadu Buhari. Your voice rang loud through a series of open letters that captured national attention and stirred both conscience and controversy.</p>
<p>On Christmas Day, December 25, 2018, you wrote with piercing clarity about a nation drifting, warning of a “nation at w@r with itself.”</p>

<p>Again, on December 25, 2019, your message, “A Nation in Search of Vindication,” questioned the moral and political direction of leadership, calling attention to bloodshed and division.</p>
<p>On December 25, 2020, in “A Nation in Search of Peace,” you spoke even more bluntly, addressing the worsening insecurity and the growing despair among Nigerians.</p>
<p>And on December 25, 2022, your letter once again raised concerns about governance, justice, and the value of human life in Nigeria.</p>
<p>These interventions were not just letters. They were moral signposts. They reminded leadership of its duty and the nation of its conscience.</p>
<p>It is against this backdrop that your current silence, or perhaps restraint, becomes more noticeable.</p>
<p>Has the situation improved so dramatically that the urgency of those words is no longer required?</p>
<p>Have the forests suddenly emptied?<br />
Have the highways become safe?<br />
Have the cries of victims ceased?</p>
<p>Or is it that the burden of national admonition must shift depending on who occupies the seat of power?</p>
<p>Lord Bishop, sir, your voice has always carried weight not because it was loud, but because it was consistent. Not because it was critical, but because it was principled.</p>
<p>Nigeria still needs that voice.</p>
<p>Not selectively. Not occasionally. But steadfastly.</p>
<p>If indeed peace has returned to the troubled lands of Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Benue, Plateau, Kwara, and beyond, then you deserve commendation for witnessing such a transformation. But if, as many still believe, the reality on the ground has not changed as dramatically as the silence suggests, then your voice is needed now as much as it was then. Unless there is something we are not seeing that you would want us to see, could it be a case of “Tinubu I love, Buhari I hate”? Or should we begin to wonder whether conviction has given way to convenience?</p>
<p>Bishop, sir, would you recommend that we keep silent when we benefit and speak up only when we do not?</p>
<p>Over time, we have seen that history is kinder to those who remain constant in truth than to those who are convenient in silence.</p>
<p>I write not in condemnation, but in expectation.</p>
