http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article05 Alhaji Masari speaks to a delegation: Alhaji Aminu Bello Masari, noted that the National Assembly had just worked on an electoral bill that would solve most of the electoral problems in the country and assured that the 2007 polls would be a clean break from the previous ones because the bill contains innovations that would greatly improve the electoral process in the country. Since that surreptitious bill on 3rd term came out, Nigeria has been at a virtual standstill. Governance does not exist, the economy is no more than the sale of crude oil, and political officers have abandoned their posts to fight for their political careers, infact no one knows tomorrow. With less than 10 months to a general election, there is no time table, no political parties, no candidates, and no electioneering campaigns. This bill is indeed solving ALL our electoral problems. The speaker also told the visitors that the various organs in the country are putting heads together to ensure that nothing happened to the nation. Which organs? The thieving congress, the lame duck judiciary or the rudderless presidency? They are not concerned about the country, their major concern is how to stuff their pockets and foist themselves illegally on the nation for another term of rapacious looting of the treasury. Masari further said that whatever problems they might have perceived are not new and peculiar to the country but part of the elements of democracy everywhere in the world. Worldwide elements of democracy now include illegal doctoring of the constitution for selfish purposes, wanton corruption, presidential disregard for the law, grooming of sacred cows, messianic complexes, political illiteracy and administrative incompetence. "We have just concluded action on a new electoral bill before your visit. It may not be the best but one of the best so far in the country. If this is the best bill the senate can boast of, then we are of all men most miserable. He pointed out that Nigerians are very resilient people and having overcome the problems of the June 1993 elections, they could overcome any problem. Meaning: Nigerians are very unwilling to lead a revolution against an unpopular government. Nigerians also have a terrible case of political amnesia, after all the hue and cry, we will still do as we please and Nigerians will forget and life will continue. We want to have a legislation that widens the horizon and it is our collective effort. If we implement the Act, there will be great improvement in our electoral system we have gone through our worst period which was the early 1990's," he said. • The legislation neither widens our horizon, it only widens their pockets. • It is not our collective effort since we the people were never consulted. • We do not even have an electoral system so we cannot be talking of improving what does not exist. • Thanks to MEND, the worst is yet to come. Comments please, |
