Shouldn't There Be A Law Making It Mandatory For Incumbents To Resign Ninety Days Before Elections? by Gbenge77(m): 7:28am On Apr 15, 2011 |
Given the peculiar nature of Nigeria,in which incumbents behave like tin 'gods' ,harass political opponents and deploy state resources towards their re-election bids,shouldnt there be a law making it mandatory for them to resign,ninety days before elections?Would such a law not curb their excesses?Wouldn't it create a more level playing field for the candidates as none would be able to use his priviledged position to influence electoral officers at the vote?Would it not make nonsense of the so called' INCUMBENCY FACTOR'.Contributions are welcome. |
