Dear Sir,
MASSIVE DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF CPC VOTERS

I want to draw to your attention the information we have received from all over the country that in many constituencies, the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) logo is not on the Ballot paper! This information has come to us from places as far apart as Ogun, Jigawa, Gombe, Anambra, Imo and Rivers States where voting seemed to have started before the announcement putting off the election was made.

2.We believe that free and fair elections include providing the opportunity for all those who have been registered to vote to do so. The absence of the CPC logo from the ballot papers means to us, a premeditated attempt to prevent our numerous supporters from voting for those they believe can bring the change they demand to their lives.

3.The embarrassing thing about this absence is that it is not national. It is selective. Why would there be the CPC logo on some ballot papers for, say, the House of Representatives election in some constituencies and it is absent in some other constituencies, even in the same state! The same story is being told of what is happening in some states with the election to the Senate.

4.Mr. Chairman, we are grateful to God that for some other reasons, the National Assembly elections were put off today. I wonder what would have happened if the elections had taken place and our supporters had complained of the exclusion of the logo of their party from the ballot papers and the security agencies had pounced on them for disturbing the peace! In our view there cannot be greater provocation and proof of an open denial of a people’s right than deliberately preventing them from exercising a right the Constitution and the laws of the land grant.

5.If this lapse is discovered now, we wonder what awaits us in other elections. As one of the fastest growing political parties in the country, obviously because of the image of its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, it is unthinkable that if a party is left out from the ballot papers you printed for the various elections, it would be that of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) whose logo is the PEN.

6.Our appeal is that you ensure that in the elections you conduct and which you have promised the whole world would be free, fair and transparent, the CPC is not denied full participation. We believe elections should be won through the ballot, not in courts which have proved to have problems of their own.

7We suggest that you conduct the presidential and national assembly elections on April 9. After all, the gubernatorial and state assembly elections will be held on the same day, April 16. Why can’t the presidential and national assembly elections be held on the same day too, for obvious reasons, including the fact that you can sort out the problem caused by the exclusion of some political parties from the ballot papers which MUST necessitate your ordering a reprint, and the fact that the banks would not have opened for stakeholders to collect money to meet their commitments to agents.

8.Failure to take to heart the suggestion of preventing chaos rather than curing it may lead to problems the rush to conduct the election on Monday April 4 may cause.

9. Please remain fully assured of our continued respect for your office and the commission you head.

Yours truly
For: CONGRESS FOR PROGRESSIVE CHANGE (CPC)

GEJ promised us fair elections, He appointed Jega and yet some folks feel he shouldnt be held responsible

Election nears

Bode Goerge released, ibori released, IBB proclaimed Godfather.

Charity begins in Abuja

Violence begins at home

GEJ should have blamed Ghadaffi

Mario Gomez = 19 league goals, 8 Champions league goals

Mario Gomez Top scorer in Bundesliga, top scorer in Champions league

Tell us about Barrios

FBS:
Fernando Torres, two minutes shy of 500 minutes without a goal in a Chelsea shirt, comes on in place of Nicolas Anelka.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9444257.stm

He has broken the record now

Drogba off the bar

Simple question.

When was the last time Torres scored a goal even in a brothel

In All Federal Universities in the South We had evidence of PTF works there either as school bus or in the laboratories

DroGGGBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Can Torres see how its done?

Soon someone would come and say they dont supply Torres balls

babytoun:
I somehow suspect that some of you forget that buhari was managing a govt agency that needed to        cater for all, but was getting its income mainly from the south west. So what you are saying now is if by some misfortune we have him as our president the spread of projects dont matter, that he can do all major projects in kano and katsina provided those are states in nigeria.? i SUSPECT THIS YOUR REASONING EXPLAINS WHY BUHARI CAMPAIGNS ALMOST ONLY IN THE NORTH.

BUHARI IS GROSSLY UNFIT FOR THE JOB OF PRESIDENT

I suspect that GEJ is managing a whole country, How come he is only paying monthly salary to Terrorists from his side of the country?

Why is he not paying Boko Haram, OPC, Massob, Lagos Agbero and Jos Fulani thugs who are all commiting atrocities all over.

Why is he paying his kinsmen and not others?

GEJ a MEND spokesman is grossly unfit to be President

How Faggotson go bring NANI in for 3 mins ?

We even have jets to fly Teslim Folarin to Abuja for PDP convention but none to bring our ballot papers our future

SMH at GEJ.

Clueless Retardeen

Half time

Bayern 0 Mchengladbach 0

What a comeback 4-2

Man Utd

How can anyone expect anything from GEJ?

The man is soo clueless he cant locate his a55 with his 2 hands

I don dey see mumus but GEJ own special

Is this the free and fair election GEJ promised us?

Seems the riggers were taken aback by the change in ballot papers and need more time to restrategize their rigging plans.

This is another reason GEJ should be voted out. The man is so clueless that he cant just do anything right

GEJ is a known MEND spokesman, financier and supporter of criminals like Teslim Folarin who was flown to Abuja in a Presidential jet

[quote author=head_to_to link=topic=635743.msg8037330#msg8037330 date=1301741392]What has this got to do with GEJ.

You just simply ooze hatred for GEJ and its making you loose your mind. Honestly.[/quote]Who promised us free and fair elections and who should be held responsible for it when we dont get it?

Edo- Tony Anenih should be watched closely

karl max:
^^^ u are a blind follower and won't join issues with u

She presented hard facts. You just came up with baseless insinuations and you expect ppl to answer you?


How can anyone whose backers are Anenih, OBJ, Bode George, Alamieyeiseigha and all the corrupt ppl in Nigeria (Mind you 2 of them DSP and Bode) have been convicted)

While Mohammed Abacha was never convicted in any court

How would a blind person like you see Man utd

GEJ MEND spokesman

^^ Also in a civilized country, Any President who openly becomes a spokesman for a terror organisation is impeached and sent to Underground jail

dannyboy10:
I urge every northerner from benue,plateau,taraba,kogi to produce the next president after Goodluck, when this muslim core north talk about zoining they think is meant for them? There r 19 northern state, when it comes to numbers they include the christian north when it comes to benefits they say its for the muslim, this must stop, the christain north should go for the next zone.

In Nigeria history

OBJ A SW xtian ruled for 11yrs followed by Gowon a NC Xtian from Plateau for 9yrs. Next babangida a NC moslem from Niger for 8yrs

These 3 guys have ruled from more than half of our independence and they are not from the core North Moslem states.

Which disproves your theory

Noo.

Na Kiwi shoe polish and engine "hoyel"
