Politics › Re: NBA Accuses Nigeria Police Force Of Compromising Osun Rerun Election by 2016v2017: 7:51am On Oct 05, 2018

dapelua:
- The Nigerian Bar Association says the Osun rerun poll fell far short of a free and fair election.

- The association details instances of how the police allegedly in collusion with thugs selectively prevented voters from accessing polling units

- The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) calls for government institutions who allegedly participated in reported fraud during the Osun rerun election to be investigated

The Nigerian Bar Association has accused the Nigeria police force of compromising the Osun state governorship rerun election which held on September 27.

The legal association in a report by its ad hoc committee on the rerun, said the actions and inaction of the police during the poll showed that it had been compromised.

The report said the rerun fell far short of a free and fair election compared to what transpired in the election of September 22.

The NBA in the report published on Sunday, September 30, on its website accused the police of failing to question the activities of some political thugs who invaded the Orolu area where part of the supplementary poll took place.

The association in the report also cited other instances of how the police allegedly in collusion with thugs, selectively prevented voters from accessing some polling units.

Detailing what happened in Orolu, the NBA said: “The team deployed to observe the rerun election at Orolu, Ward 8, polling units 1 and 4 and ward 9, polling unit 3, set out for the assignment at about 6:30am. The team’s enthusiasm was dampened by their harassment and subsequent arrest by mobile policemen en-route Orolu.

"They were taken before Ali Janga, Commissioner of Police, at a Police Post. CP Ali Janga is in charge of Kogi State Police Command. Incidentally, the Secretary of the NBA ad-hoc EWG, Liman Salihu Esq. the immediate past chairman of the NBA Lokoja Branch, Kogi State, recognized the CP and showed his Identification Card to him but surprisingly the CP ordered that the team be taken to the INEC Office.

At the INEC office, it took one of our own, Festus Okoye Esq. who is currently the INEC Commissioner representing South-East Geopolitical Zone, to secure their release; he also facilitated the team’s movement to Orolu.

"The road to Orolu is barely motorable and appears to have been recently graded for the purpose of the election. The location of the polling unit at Ifon Orolu Kajola was in a farm house inside a thick bush and there was only one unoccupied residence with a distance of about 80meters from the said polling unit. The materials for the election arrived on time at the respective units and voting proper commenced at the stipulated time of 8:00am.

"There was heavy security presence with about thirty (30) armed Police officials at Orolu. At about 10:00am, while figuring out how to get to Idiya Polling Unit in Orolu, four (4) Toyota Hiace buses packed with about fifty (50) fierce looking men, drove in and the men alighted and walked towards the polling unit without any PVC in their hands. In spite of the heavy security presence of the Nigerian Police, these men were not stopped nor asked if they were going to vote neither were they asked for their PVCs. This however aroused our suspicion.

"A member of the NBA Ad-hoc EWG who attempted a recording of the happenings (a few seconds was recorded though) was almost attacked by about six (6) of these men. Surprisingly the Police officials stood aloof and did nothing to stop the invasion by this group of men. The reason given by the security men (Police officials) for their inaction was that they could not act without formal complaints from us.

"Another observation at Orolu was that most of the voters had identification bands on their left arms and ring bands on their thumbs. Those with the said identification bands were allowed access into Orolu while those without the bands were not allowed access and so could not vote. Although these voters without the bands displayed their PVCs to the Police men on ground as evidence that they had been registered to vote at that particular polling unit, the Police personnel adamantly turned them back and as such they could not exercise their right to vote. Voters that were allowed to vote without the bands were those who had arrived earlier before the commencement of voting.

Similarly, one of Nigeria’s most respected election monitoring groups in the country, the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), has said the Thursday, September 27, re-run election in Osun state was neither free, fair nor credible.

The group in a statement shortly after the poll also called for government institutions who participated in alleged fraud during the election to be investigated, Premium Times reports.

The CDD insisted that the poll fell short of the global best practices in democratic elections which Nigerians desire.

I believe this is the reason the PDP has kept the primaries to the last day as approved by INEC. If the rest of the party can make the emerged candidate their sole project, then that lifeless individual may aswell be dead by March and gone by may 2019.

CHIEF OLU FALAE SPOKE THE MINDS OF HONEST AND PROGRESSIVE NIGERIANS- THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT RESTRUCTURING NIGERIA IS ALL ABOUT .

FOR THOSE STILL GREEKED BY THE TERM, THIS IS THE MEANING OF RESTRUCTURING AS CANVASSED BY SOUTHERN NIGERIA BY~Chief Olu Falae

You know I am a leader in the South West and at the National convention, I was elected as the leader of the Yoruba delegation. So, I am central to the Yoruba position. The Yoruba position is my position and it is the same position I canvassed in my book, ‘The way forward for Nigeria’ which I launched since 2005 in Lagos. What we mean by restructuring is going back to the Independence Constitution which our leaders negotiated with the British between 1957 and 1959. It was on that basis that the three regions agreed to go to Independence as one united country. So, it was a negotiated constitution. This is because, if the three regions were not able to agree, there would not have been one united independent Nigeria. But because the three regions at that time negotiated and agreed to package a constitution, that is why they agreed to go to Independence together. When the military came in 1966 and threw away the constitution, they threw away the negotiated agreement among the three regions, which was the foundation of a united Nigeria.

So, the military did not only throw away the constitution but a political consensus negotiated and agreed by our leaders of the three regions in those days. When we say restructuring now, we are saying let us go back substantially to that constitution which gave considerable autonomy to the regions. For example, each region at that time collected its revenue and contributed the agreed proportion to the centre. But when the military came, they turned it round and took everything to the centre. That could not have been accepted by Ahmadu Bello, Nnamdi Azikiwe or Obafemi Awolowo.

This constitution we are using was made by late Gen Sani Abacha and the military; and Abacha came from only one part of Nigeria, so he wrote a constitution that favoured his own part of Nigeria. That is why I am saying, let us restructure and go back to what all of us agreed before. That is the meaning of restructuring. The regions used to be federating units, but in today’s Nigeria, they would now be called federal regions because states have been created in the regions. So in the West, you now have federation of Yoruba states which would belong to the Nigerian union at the centre. So, it is not like the region of old with all the powers. No. It is now going to be a coordinator of the states in the zone. That is what we mean by restructuring. And the regions would have a considerable autonomy as they used to have. For example, for the younger people, they may not know that every region then had its own constitution.

There were four constitutions at independence –the Federal constitution, Western constitution, Eastern constitution and Northern constitution. That was how independent they were and every region had an ambassador in London. The ambassadors for the regions were called Agent General so that you do not confuse them with that of Nigeria then called High Commissioner. So, Nigeria had four ambassadors in London. The ambassador for Nigeria then called a High Commissioner was M.T Mbu. The ambassador for Eastern Nigeria then was Mr Jonah Chinyere Achara, Western Nigeria was Mr Omolodun and for Northern Nigeria, it was Alhaji Abdulmalik. There were four of them. That was the kind of arrangement we agreed to, but the military threw it away and gave us this over-centralised unitary constitution. So, we said this is not acceptable any more; we must go back to the negotiated constitution which gave considerable autonomy to the regions, so that they can compete in a healthy manner. For example, Chief Obafemi Awolowo wanted to introduce free education in the West and other regions said they could not afford it, but he went ahead to introduce it in the Western region. He said he wanted to pay a minimum of five shillings a day, while others were paying two and three shillings. He went ahead and passed the law, making five shillings the minimum wage in Western Nigeria.

There was no problem with that. In Western Nigeria, the constitution provided for a House of Assembly and the House of Chiefs. In Eastern Nigeria, there was no House of Chiefs because they did not think they needed one. There was no problem with that and that is the kind of Nigeria we negotiated in London, but that is different from what we have today. So, we are saying let us go back to that arrangement which all of us agreed at independence and not what Abacha imposed on us, which is very partial, unfair and one-sided. That is the meaning of restructuring; it is to restructure unfairness and give semi-autonomy to the federating units.

Chief Olu Falae is a leading Yoruba leader and waa Head of the Southwest Delegation to the Jonathan National Constitutional Conference.

NB: PLEASE HELP TO SHARE THIS PIECE WIDELY. EVEN THE DEVILS MUST BE FORCED TO READ THIS PIECE. THIS IS THE ONLY REDEMPTIVE WAY OUT FOR NIGERIA. EVERYOTHER THING WILL NEVER WORK

I can see they even mentioned Oyo in the SW as being one of the places they will establish the terror cells disguised as grazing reserve, maybe, history is about to repeat itself, Ilorin style

If it was one celebrity that got pregnant, Linda would be digging till she discovers who the baby daddy is and publish it without thinking about how the celebrity would feel.

*BUHARI...HE WHO HAS EARS LET HIM HEAR*

*_They have warned_* ��!!!
��

First it was the Economist of London that wrote off Buhari and the Buharimaniacs said they were bribed

Then came the Financial Times of London that said Buhari was a disaster and the Buharimaniacs said they were being influenced

Then the Biggest bank in Europe and perhaps top 5 in the WORLD HSBC took out an opinion on Buhari and his Government and they warned their investors that a second term of Buhari would be a calamity for Nigeria. In other words putting their investors on notice to pull out of Nigerua should Buhari win a second term

Then came the National Governments of the United States, Germany and the United kingdom all giving subtle warnings and privately asking Buhari not to contest again. Even the US PRESIDENT in his traditional outspoken style called Buhari a *lifeless Person*. Meaning deadwood and useless to anybody.

Now the Wall Street Journal has spoken and stated in clear unambiguous terms that Buhari is Nigeria's biggest problem since the Nigeria Biafra civil war. His divisive policies, his protection of genocidal Terrorists, his protection of CORRUPTION and his destruction of the economy are all pointers to the down hill slide he is taking Nigeria.

WHAT MORE DO YOU NIGERIANS WANT TO HEAR BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

THE warnings have been given by some of the *most unimpeachable* sources in the World, whether you call them colonialists or NOT. it doesn't change their reach and their influence in World affairs.

*HE WHO HAS EARS LET HIM HEAR*.
