They decide who does what and horse-trade amongst themselves within each party to decide who becomes what and alienate the ordinary Nigerians, denying them of the chance to choose the type of people they want as their leaders. I think that we should address the kind of democratic practice within the political parties and nominations for office because when people are nominated, Nigerians will lose the chance of choosing the people they want.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/05/29/there-was-no-zoning-policy-in-pdp-uwechue-ohanaeze/
The strategy cannot be far fetched. The people were completely despondent, over laboured by the crass intolerance of the ruling class, the few elements who were pauperized them, who have made them slaves in their own land. There was a total lack of development, in fact Edo State was not a state that could be navigated from anywhere.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/05/28/edo-south-needs-proper-representation-in-senate-says-urhoghide/MR. Bukhari Bello, presently the subject of speculations for the chairmanship of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has a history of rebellion to the very system that has upheld electoral fraud in Nigeria.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/06/02/bello-a-rebel-with-a-cause/Ekiti has not ceased to be in the news especially over the 2007 general elections which is still in contention in the state. Few weeks ago the Election Petition Tribunal, affirmed Governor Segun Oni’s victory in a petition by Action Congress candidate AC, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who has indicated his intention to go on second appeal. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/05/30/2011-presidency-it-ll-be-unfair-for-zoning-to-disqualify-jonathan-says-sen-arise/Well, Dr Ogbemudia is our leader and father and he believes in the autonomy of the party in every senatorial district. And that is where I stand. There must be internal democracy in the state PDP where you allow leaders and the people of other districts to elect their representatives. Each senatorial district must be allowed autonomy of its own. Without that the party cannot go any where in the state.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/05/28/why-i-disagreed-with-anenih-senator-uzamere/
