The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) said it is not in support of plans by the National Assembly to insert a 'Right of First Refusal' clause in the 2010 Electoral Act to give lawmakers an infinite tenure.

The party, in a statement issued in Ilorin today by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said "if the plan succeeds, Nigeria can as well say goodbye to democracy, while the legislators would have simply succeeded in subjecting the citizens to perpetual servitude."

The party said the only reason the lawmakers were emboldened to even think of inserting such a devilish clause in the 2010 Electoral Act is the docility of Nigerians, who sat by while these people allotted to themselves obscene salaries and allowances in contravention of the Constitution.

The party also accused the ruling Peoples Democratic Party of having only one agenda - to remain in power.

"PDP controls the executive and the legislature, and has been using this control to perpetually torment and suffocate Nigerians. All we have received from this house of cards called the PDP are useless arguments about zoning, bombings and kidnappings that are now spreading across the nation, a failed third term bid and the manipulation of the Constitution for parochial interests, just to mention a few.

"If this party (PDP) is not checked, it is capable of bringing down the house on itself, and of course on all Nigerians," ACN warned.

Right of first refusal (ROFR or RFR) is a contractual right that gives its holder the option to enter a business transaction with the owner of something, according to specified terms, before the owner is entitled to enter into that transaction with a third party. In brief, the right of first refusal is similar in concept to a call option.

Example:
ROFR: Abe owns a house that he plans to sell to Bo for $1 million. However, Carl holds a right of first refusal to purchase the house. Therefore, before Abe can sell the house to Bo, he must first offer it to Carl for $1 million. If Carl accepts, he buys the house instead of Bo. If Carl declines, Bo may now buy the house at the proposed $1 million price.
