This controversial dwarf again?? If Arffonja Tinubu didn't give the West to APC in 2O15, will a helpless man like Buhari have come to power? After 4 years, the North & West rejected them, but they used power of incumbency to force their way back... But the story hasn't been concluded. |

[quote author=16Ebiscoo post=81115524]Governor Nasir El-Rufai warned against zoning of the Presidency between the North and South region of Nigeria in a prologue titled ‘Defeating a Determined Incumbent – The Nigerian Experience’, written in contributiion to a book by the Director-General of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, Salihu Lukma. The Kaduna State Governor argued that the competence has to be taken up in place of zoning as Nigeria cannot afford towing same path again. He also described the present method of funding parties as “opaque” and also proposed a new method which will cut off godfathers, while revealing factors that contributed to electoral success of the All Progressives Congress in the 2015 presidential election. He said, “Even with our success in the 2015 elections, there is room for improvement. Barriers to political equality, such as our seemingly entrenched though informal rule for zoning candidacies according to regions of origin, need to be de-emphasised and ultimately abandoned in favour of an emphasis on qualification, competence and character. “The financing of parties, candidates and campaigns remains opaque. “Many African countries are marked by savage inequalities, and a handful of individuals have the wherewithal to hold the process hostage. “We must work towards funding parties via capped and fully disclosed donations and annual dues payable by every registered party member.” Also campaigning for an improved judicial processes and promotion of the rule of law, El-Rufai listed some conditions neccesary for an opposition to defeat the incumbent as these; “A unified opposition preferably merged into a single and well-structured political party well ahead of the next election cycle, and with transparent processes and progressive policies. “A presidential candidate widely seen as credible and reformist to provide a sharp contrast to incumbents usually fattened by years of lazy, incompetent and corrupt rule. “Honest elections that guarantee that votes count, using a mixture of competent electoral commission leadership and, crucially, deploying technologies for voter verification that drastically reduces electoral fraud. “Credible elections are enemies of voter apathy. They enhance democratic legitimacy and citizen participation. “Continuous engagement of the international community, particularly in the leading stable democracies as well as in multilateral institutions, to supply a crucial external fillip to the electoral process.” President Buhari claimed that he and his party had the support of Nigerians in the foreword of the book. He also insisted that his administration reversed the downward slide the PDP pushed the nation into by squandering its resources. He said, “There is no doubt that we have the popular support of Nigerians. “I have seen this myself when I went around the 36 states and the FCT during the campaigns. “The turnout of people and messages of goodwill across the country were what no individual, party or government could organise or buy. “They were purely demonstrations of confidence in our administration and its political platform, the All Progressives Congress, the product of the merger. “The multitude that trooped out to see me and hear me were reassuring that Nigeria, despite its cultural diversities, is united on the imperative of change. “Our duty as leaders is to ensure that we keep this nation united, build a better future for the citizens and the coming generation. “I feel that without coming together, we would not have been able to achieve this feat and Nigeria will be the worse for it. “We remain the only hope of the country in terms of charting a politically stable and economically prosperous future for our people. “I will, therefore, encourage us to continue leading this country effectively, now that Nigerians have entrusted us with a mandate once again to chart the course for the future of our beloved nation.” However Alhaji Shuaibu Oyedokun, a member of Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party disagreed with El-Rufai on zoning. Though he admitted that competence should be given a better place than zoning, he added that zoning was established during the defunct National Party of Nigeria to ensure no part of the country was alienated. Oyedokun said, “If we could find a way of strictly implementing zoning in the true spirit of it, i will say i want it. But do we sincerely implement it? If you zone a position to a particular area, people from other areas are not supposed to come out to contest but that is not the case. “To me, the kind of country we have, being heterogeneous in nature, in term of religious and ethnicity, I think for now, we should adhere strictly to zoning. What he said is right under normal circumstances but as it is now, Nigeria cannot afford to jettison zoning now.” https://www.mcebiscoo.com/governor-el-rufai-wants-zoning-stopped-in-presidency/[/quo just say you want to be president come 2019 |

This man has always been showing disdain for the tiny rope of unity hold Nigeria together. Because he was able to invite the Christians in Kaduna to win an election, he thinks it is now time to block the entire South using the Caliphates designed rigging plan? All because he want to be next president? It is time to challenge his wreckless comments. The other time, it was threats to international community on the election on live TV saying they will be returned home in bodybag. This same man l? Such a person should not be trusted with public office if not for the aberrations in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Mr El- Rufai.. It has to remain like this for now. You are too short to tell us how to run this nation, you can't even see what's happening in Nigeria until u maybe climb the sycamore tree like Zacheous. How can u come out today to tell us we should drop zoning? Zoning is only natural it has to be put into consideration because of sense of belonging! It's done anywhere in the world just them don't even see it as zoning because they don't care about it. Tell me if all presidents of US are not from different zones! If you want us to do it like this then we should go back to the 60s when the South and North has their own parties.. pls next time u wanna talk endeavor to climp a ladder in order to look B4 u lip. |
