Folks what do you make of this issue of concensus candidates in Nigeria's politics Political parties in Nigeria claim to want to deepen internal democracy and yet there solution to that is having concensus candidates rather than having party delegates vote for who they want their flag bearers to be. I think this smacks of laziness. When you call for a concensus candidates is'nt it the case that who ever emerges will be seen as the establishment imposition on the party which defeats the purpose of trying to deepen internal party democracy. Why can't we have clear rules of who party delegates are and how they can vote to elect leaders  |

Consensus Candidacy is undemocratic and the parties use this method to weed out candidates they do not like. This is the basic tool used by the party leadership. This abnormality is what has brought Nigeria to this sorry state. Absence of internal democracy, election rigging , thuggery result in intra party crisis. In the process, there will be a lot of electoral malpractices, dissatisfied aspirants move to other parties and in some or most cases win the elections and later cross back to the parties that denied them a ticket in the first instance. In some cases you have prolonged litigation . Chei, the results are here with us, We are all living witnesses----- The parties must have achange of heart. I fear 2011 |
