No Voter Card, No Salary, Says Fayemi - Stop This Illegality At Once by koruji(m): 4:04am On Jan 23, 2011 |
To our friends Gov. Fayemi and the other governor who issued such a proclamation in the South-East we know you mean well, but this is illegal and should stop forthwith. [size=14pt]There is no law, and there should be no law, that ties salary for work done to political participation, that is the short and long of it.[/size] Instead of illegal fiat laws, these governors ought to advise INEC on how to conduct a timely voters registration. Any worker harrassed by this nonsense should seek the legal help of human right activists!!!

This is not political participation - voting is a civic right in a democracy. If you dont participate, you have no right to shout or even murmur about bad governance. Stop confusing people - poster. |

Ma_J_Blige: And should I choose not to exercise my civic right to vote, I should not be punished by my salary being with-held. Now what should be done is give incentive's for people to register rather than add baseless punitive measures. |

Ma_J_Blige: Just hear yourself , the poster has raised a credible issue and look at the dumb reply u have attached to it . Suffrage is voluntary on the part of the citizenry , It is only mandatory for govt to fulfil its role by providing ample suffrage opportunities for those voluntarily willing to participate |

Dats bull crap frm a govenor whom i tot shld knw better. Some people can decide to be apolitical and shld nt be punished abitrarilly snc dey ve not breached any known laws of FRN. D governor shld rather appeal to thier conscience dan issueing treats for he tries dat and an aggrieved person institutes a legal action against d state goverment, such person stands a 100% chance of becoming rich cos what d governour has done amounts to illegality which will be nullified eventually. The state A.G shld knw better & advice his boss abt its consequencies as well. |

I cant remember the country but it actually against the law not to register to vore. In the Nigerian context because of our young democracy i think it should be mandatory to vote. Nobody should have a right to complain if you dont vote. |

@Ma_J_Blige You are the one confusing people. Your statements are contradictory. I have a right to vote, and a right to complain about bad governance. One does not depend on the other, and I can choose to exercise both, either or none. As someone said, the government needs to encourage people to register and vote - not impose draconian rules. Let's say we accept the rule, but INEC can't even get its machines working and was unable to register you, do you still get to receive your salary for work done? And if you force me to vote, what guaranttees that the person I voted for is not a deceiver (aka Yar'adua) that would further ruin my condition. Nigerian politicians, and I am talking in general (not about Gov. Fayemi who just started his term - in fact the news I read a few days ago that he would be inaugurating 100 transformers to mark his 100 days in office gladdened my heart; hopefully it is not for show), force you to vote with all zealousness then they spend their entire term fighting to cart away our resources. When they begin performing and demonstrating they are worth voting for people would voluntarily exercise their rights to get them elected. That is all there should be to it. @blacksta That one country practices this is not a recommendation for any other country. It is an abberation. If any government wants to ensure that you register and vote, they should take away privileges, not your rights, if you don't. Instead of these governors taking salary for work done (a right) they could say you will not receive a Xmas bonus next year - that is a privilege and a good incentive to go register, since the bonus is not part of your earnings. blacksta: Ma_J_Blige: |
