Presidential Election 2015 (Violation of the Electoral Act 2010 & Constitution) by ONOVO(m): 9:51am On Dec 27, 2014
What’s the implication(s) of casting your ballot in favour of a political party that barefacedly flouts the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 cum Constitution of Nigeria? Why would anyone vote for a political party that displays blatant disregard to the Electoral Act 2010 and laws of Nigeria? Why?

Section 91 of the Electoral Act 2010:
1) Election expenses shall not exceed the sum stipulated in subsections (2)-(7) of this section.
2) The maximum election expenses to be incurred by a candidate at a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION shall be N I,000,000,000.00 …
(9) An individual or other entity shall not donate more than N I,000,000.00 to any candidate.
(I0) A candidate who knowingly acts in contravention of this section commits an offence and on conviction is liable in the case •of- (a) PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, to a maximum fine of N 1,000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of 12 months or both ;
11) An individual who knowingly acts in contravention of subsection (9) shall on conviction, be liable to a maximum fine of N500,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of 9 months or both.
******************************************

Section 221 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria: “No association, other than a political party, shall CANVASS for votes for any candidate at any election or CONTRIBUTE to the funds of any political party or to the election expenses of any candidate at an election." (CONSTITUTION OF NIGERIA, SECTION 221)
******************************************

Above the Law?
Donors and donations at Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) "PRESIDENTIAL" Fund Raising Dinner: PDP Governors Forum-N1.05billion; Prof. Jerry Gana and his friends' in the power sector–N5billion; Oil and Gas sector-N5billion; Mr Tunde Ayeni – N2billion; Chairman of SIFAX group – N100million; Transport and Aviation sector – N1billion; Agriculture – N500million; Power sector – N500million; Board of the Shelter Development Limited – N250million; Construction sector – N310million; Road Construction players – N250million; National Automative Association – N450million; Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) – N15million; etc.

***If they win the election in 2015, party lavish jamboree would would start. The donors and their ilk would reclaim their investment via taxpayers money. Yeah, they would reclaim their investment a million folds. Thereafter, payment of salaries and capital expenditure would be ignored or considered not a priority; also they would be unable to pay pension and unable to adequately equip the military and other law enforcement agencies. Who suffers? The masses would suffer.***
**********************************

National Conscience Party (NCP) Presidential Candidate for 2015 Election is Martin Onovo. He studied Petroleum Engineering at University of Ibadan (UI) and University of Houston, Texas. Alhaji Muhammed Ibrahim is NCPs Vice-Presidential Candidate. NCP was founded by Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN, SAM, (bless his soul). The party is hoping that a Presidential Election debate would hold to enable Nigerians do a proper evaluation of all presidential candidates. Hear us (NCP) before you decide on who is the best candidate. Let us insist on a Presidential Election debate so that Nigerians could do a proper evaluation of Presidential Candidates. NCP wont pay for votes. NCP wont bribe voters. Our integrity speaks for us.

Again, why would anyone vote for a political party that displays blatant disregard to the Electoral Act 2010 and laws of Nigeria? Why?

Best wishes.
