NNAMANI UNDER PRESSURE TO HEAD INTERIM GOVERNMENT

Senate President, Ken Nnamani, has come under intense pressure from opposition parties to head a government that would conduct the coming general elections, with less than 20 days to the scheduled April polls.

The pressure was reinforced following the report of the review panel set up by the Senate on the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) scam involving President Olusegun Obasanjo and his deputy, Atiku Abubakar.

A source present at a recent closed door session disclosed that the "hawks wanted senators to debate the report immediately it is submitted by Tsauri. It was the hottest executive session we’ve ever held. Senators were moved to exchanging blows, with parties rigidly insistent on their positions. They wanted the Senate to quickly deliberate on the report. From the trend of the debate that would ensue, Senators would then call for the impeachment of both President Obasanjo and Vice President Atiku."

Last Monday, a coalition of political parties passed a vote of no confidence on the Professor Maurice Iwu-led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to hold credible elections next month.

Spokesperson of the coalition, Chief Solomon Asemota, led nine political parties: Action Congress (AC); All Nigeria aPeoples Party (ANPP); All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA); Democratic Front for a Peoples Federation (DFPF); Democratic Peoples Party (DPP); National Democratic Party (NDP); Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA); and Ethnic Nationalities Movement (ENM) and submitted a petition to the Senate President.

The parties alleged that INEC foisted electronic voters’ registration on Nigerians, which was deliberately bungled.

They urged the Senate president to, in the event that the elections would not hold, form government and conduct elections.

The parties referred Nnamani to Section 146, subsection 2 of the 1999 Constitution to justify their action.

However, Senate, last Tuesday, dismissed calls for an interim national government or that the Senate president conducts the elections.

Deputy Leader and vice chairman of the Media and Public Affairs Committee, Jonathan Zwingina, reiterated that the Senate was committed to free, fair and credible elections in April.

But a National Assembly source confirmed that the Senate President was indeed under pressure to conduct the elections because they "believe in his credentials as a democrat. Those calling on him to conduct elections cited the PTDF example, arguing that the president had no credibility to hold free and fair elections in April. There is pressure on the Senate president to take over and conduct the elections. Other parties are calling for sacking of the Obasanjo administration to be replaced by a transitional government, headed by Nnamani, as the number three man who would then conduct elections."

The source further explained that Nnamani was not moved by complaints from parties over INEC’s objectivity in the elections, and the spate of electoral litigations flooding the courts.

"The Senate president is adamant; he won’t take over or conduct any election. He insists that the INEC should be encouraged to go ahead with its constitutional duties. He’s adamant that anyhow INEC wants to do it, it must conduct elections this April," he said.

Attempt to speak with the Senate president failed as he was said to have travelled to the United States.

Interim Government: How realistic?
The recent call for the setting up of an Interim National Government by some eminent Nigerians though not the first in recent times, is a further proof that stakeholders have lost faith in the system. But have the proponents considered the problems of inaugurating a provisional government in a democratic setting? writes Oziegbe Okoeki

The call for an Interim National Government (ING) again re-surfaced penultimate week when a group of eminent Nigerians under the aegis of Nigeria United for Democracy (NUD) met at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The group which comprised of opposition political party leaders and civil society groups opted for the ING as a way of rescuing the nation from "the hands of the illegitimate and corrupt administration… and restore the nation to the path of sanity."

More than twenty political parties and groups were at the Abuja meeting where the groups suggest the ING should be in power for two years, to among other things convoke a Peoples National Conference to fashion out a new constitution and political structure for the Nigerian state; to carry out a review and reform of the electoral process in Nigeria; to organise and implement a national election for all political offices in the nation.

Justifying the call for the ING, the chairman of NUD, Dr. Tunji Braithwaite said, "NUD,… has decided that in order to rescue the nation from the hands of the illegitimate and corrupt administration, an interim government must have to be put in place forthwith.

"The membership of the IG must derive from Nigerians of known transparent integrity and selflessness, which would include labour, civil societies and others."

However, the group left many questions unanswered. What is the legal backing for an ING? Is there any constitutional provision for that arrangement? Who constitutes the government and what are the criteria for picking members of the ING? What happens at the two other tiers of government, namely states and local governments? What will be the role of the current National Assembly, or will they be dissolved? Has the NUD the political strength to assert its position? These and many other questions were not addressed by the proponents of the ING.

However, it is interesting to note that this is not the first time, the call for an ING is being made in this dispensation.

Before the April 2007 elections, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, former Anambra State governor and one time Special Adviser on Political Affairs to President Olusegun Obasanjo and also Deputy National Chairman of Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA) also mooted the idea of an ING because of the shoddy preparation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He had raised alarm over the possibility of conducting credible elections before the hand over date on May 29, 2007. In his opinion, the only viable option open then to Nigerians was an ING to take over the three tiers of government for a minimum of two years.

Justifying his stand then Ezeife had said, "I heard of interim government from people who are afraid that the 2007 elections might be rigged in favour of particular candidates. Considering our manifest destiny, if interim government should be, let it be."

Another eminent Nigerian who made a similar call then was General Adeyinka Adebayo (rtd), although he prefer to call his own National Elders Government (NEG). The NEG, he said was to bring everybody together to look at the problems of Nigerians, for people to sit down, assess the problems and find solutions to them.

Immediately after the demise of the third term agenda, Chief Sonny Odogwu, a business mogul and in-law to Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) also made a similar suggestion.

Although all these suggestions met with strong opposition from a cross-section of Nigerians for so many reasons, it is however, a pointer to the fact that many stakeholders have lost faith in the system and that something is fundamentally wrong. Because these are well informed Nigerians who knew the illegality of what they were clamouring for. Many are also aware of the disaster which Nigeria’s first attempt at ING in 1993 brought to the country.

Having boxed himself into a corner with the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, acclaimed to be the freest and fairest election in Nigerian history, and won by the late business mogul Chief M.K.O. Abiola, there were crises of unimaginable proportion all over the country.

The crisis of the annulment which literally set the country on fire compelled former military president Babangida who committed the political ‘harakiri’ to devise an exit strategy to disentangle himself from the snare with which he had entrapped himself.

And ING was his reprieve, at least according to his calculation then, to douse the tension in the polity and create false hope in the citizenry that the ING would ensure a smooth transition from military dictatorship to democracy.

That was however, not to be as the inauguration of the ING only aggravated the crisis in the country, because what Nigerians wanted was the validation of the mandate freely given to Abiola.

The ING was thus short lived as the people and subsequently the judiciary decreed it out of existence as an illegal contraption.

Even then, the Babangida ING found support from unexpected quarters. For instance, the chairmen of the two parties in existence then supported the arrangement.

Chief Tony Anenih who was the chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) the party which won the election said, "I believe it (ING) will work and Nigerians should give it a chance. Very true Nigerians will be happy that we have taken a step forward towards the democratisation of the political system. Those accusing us of selling out, have they given us a better alternative. With ING the military has disengaged and given room for us (the political class) to chart the way forward."

While the chairman of the National Republican Convention (NRC), the late Dr. Hammed Kusamotu said in defence of ING, "ING is a glorious epilogue to a gloomy beginning… there is no alternative to ING, the only alternative to it is chaos."

All this was despite the fact that there was no concrete blue-point of how the ING would operate as later disclosed by Professor Omo Omoruyi, one of the closest allies then of Babangida.

Omoruyi in his book, ‘The tale of June 12,’ said "the Interim National Government idea was a contrivance, a child of necessity, no one had a blue-print on how it would be constituted and structured and how it could meet the various contending issues of the day. But the president initially bought the idea and turned it over to me to work on to achieve his three-pronged strategy of survival, exit and safety."

The ING turned out to be a fiasco paving way for the further perpetuation of military rule as the late General Sani Abacha sent it packing in a palace coup.

But this was under a military rule where anything goes and government is by military fiat.

The picture now is different, Nigeria operates a constitutional democracy currently and every thing that happens in the polity especially as per governance has to conform with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution.

And in that Constitution there is no provision for ING, so it is alien to the constitution. So ING by the nations constitution is illegal. And this is an issue proponents of the idea are shying away from although Balarabe says it is not illegal because there is no legitimate government in place as what stands now as government is the product of a fraudulent electoral process.

The closest to ING in the 1999 Constitution is the provision in Section 135 (3), which states "if the Federation is at war in which the territory of Nigeria is physically involved and the president considers that it is not practicable to hold elections, the National Assembly may by resolution extend the period of four years mentioned in subsection (2) of this section from time to time; but no such extension shall exceed a period of six months at any one time."

"This provision is not anywhere close to setting up an interim government as the constitution talks of continuation of the incumbent," said a political analyst.

Under what conditions is ING permissible? According to the Wikipedia Enclopaedia, interim government is a, "provisional government set up when a political void has been created by the collapse of a previous administration or regime. A provisional government holds power until elections can be held or a permanent government can otherwise be established.

"Provisional government often occur as the result of a revolution or in war time when an occupied nation or territory has been librated or, conversely, when a government had been deposed by an invading army."

Countries where ING had been set up as a result of the existence of the above conditions or something close include Hawai in 1943, India 1915, Irish Republic in 1916, Republic of Korea 1919, Germany in 1945, after the fall of Hitler and Iraq in 2003.

Those who are opposed to the whole idea of ING insist that none of the above conditions currently exist in Nigeria to warrant an ING. Moreover, there is a Constitution and a government in place.

Probably, it is the recognition by the NUD that ING has no place in the 1999 Constitution that informs the chairman’s statement that a nationwide protest would be embarked upon to restore the nation to the path of sanity.

His words, "NUD is determined that this nation be restored to the path of sanity and genuine democracy and will proceed to organise mass action nationwide to flush out impostors in government."

The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through its National Publicity Secretary Prof. Rufai Alkali describes the call for ING as treasonable and part of an orchestrated plot to truncate democracy.

Alkali said, "the call for an interim government has no place in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and is therefore not only illegal, but also treasonable to the extent that it calls for the overthrow of an established constitutional order.

"The PDP holds the view shared by all patriotic Nigerians that any political arrangement that alienates, or seeks to alienate the people and reduce their participation in how they are governed by whatever name is unacceptable, especially now that democracy has taken root in our country.

"The PDP believes in the structure of the Nigerian nation as presently constituted and therefore condemns the call for any ‘Peoples National Conference’ to fashion out a new constitution and political structure for the Nigerian state," Alkali said.

Also reacting to the development, an elder statesman and prominent leader in the Niger Delta, Chief Hope Harriman said, "The call for ING is not right. We were talking all along of a proper constitution for the country.

"If Obasanjo had set up a Constituent Assembly sitting in Enugu or Jos parallel to the House of Representatives churning out ideas and everything, with a view to looking at the independent constitution, in the 1963 constitution the only amendment was the change of Governor-General to president and removal of trial by jury. We have enough documents, the thing is to sit down and forge ahead, "interim government will solve no problem at all, but we have not got the right constitution. In Ghana, all the things that afflict us does not exist there, they know how to govern themselves and everybody is happy with the constitution.

If the Supreme Court had come out with the decision whether Yar’Adua was duly elected or not, then we would have moved forward and probably have another election.

"And the removal of Iwu, since there is doubt about his credibility, create another credible electoral commission and then we see whether the voting would be right this time or not. And the system must not exclude anybody," Harriman said.

Although he agrees that those making the call might have their motives, he however said this time is inopportune for them to call for such a government.

The matter he stressed further has been left too long, as there should have been a show down immediately after the election when it was clear that it was rigged.

"We would have all been on the streets of Nigeria, but we couldn’t because the police would have gunned all of us. So it is too late now to call for that," Harriman said.

But Balarabe believes it is not too late and insist on interim government being the only thing that can solve the problems of the country.

He said, "interim government would solve our problems because the present government lacks legitimacy, because they didn’t win free and fair election.

"Secondly, they are not performing well, thirdly, they cannot do anything about the level of corruption, stealing and waste which is disabling the government.

"So, there has to be an interim government. And the interim government can solve the problem of the country for a short time, because it is also to prepare for a free and fair election which is not possible now," Balarabe stressed.The parties and groups in attendance included Action Congress (AC), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), All People Grand Alliance (APGA), United Peoples Party (UPP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA), Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), Alliance for Democratic (AD), Campaign for Democracy (CD), Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) etc.

Prominent among those who were at the Abuja parley were the chairman of NUD Dr. Tunji Braithwaite, Chairman of Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), Alhaji Balarabe Musa, National Secretary of AC Dr. Usman Bugaje, Deputy National Chairman of the UPP Chief Wiston Odumu-Ojobi, National Chairman of APGA, Sir Victor Umeh, National Chairman of APLP Emmanuel Okereke, National Chairman of Progressive Action Congress (PAC).

Others were National Secretary of DPA Sam Onimisi, Chief Charles Nwodo, Osita Okechukwu of ANPP, Goodluck Obi of the CD, Yahaya Ndu (ARP) Aliyu Danladi (MDJ), Murtala Aliyu (CPP), Sani Minister (DPP), Ralph Okay Nwosu (ADC), Ibrahim Alfa (AD), while the Nigeria Labour Congress also sent representatives.

I show direct you to 101 contradictory statements of the opposition party. Members of the party talk from both sides of the mouth depending on what suits their purpose at any material time. Its no wonder people don't take them seriously anymore.
