nyrol:Why should Ojukwu be rude to adults who openly paid him a courtesy visit? What is wrong with the idea of supporting IBB in a democratic process? Also among all the potential presidential candidates, how many of them are better than IBB? All I can say is that most Nigerians have millitary brigade mentality. |

Chuks84: For you to even haul invectives on an elder statesman like Ojukwu shows that you are one of those few Igbo bastards who were born on the streets of Ijebu ode. Do you even think that telling me that you are an Igbo man will change my perception of your mental illness?No! After all in the olden days, our fore fathers dealt with some retards and saboteurs like you by confining them in the evil forest where they belong. |

IBB remains the best candidate for the presidential election come 2011. . . Moreover,I cant understand why people who claim to be democrats are afraid to see IBB go through a democratic process by presenting himself for an electoral contest. |

Politics / Oshiomole - I Will Invite Ibb Again If The Opportunity Calls. by metalgong5(m): 8:14am On May 03, 2010 |
I will invite Babangida again, says Oshiomhole Monday, 03 May 2010 00:00 Nigerian Compass E-mail Print PDF THE “One-Man-One-Vote” rally organised last Thursday by Edo State Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole at the Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin, may have come and gone but the controversy generated by the event will take more time to clear. Principal actors in the controversy, Oshiomhole and members of his party – the Action Congress (AC) – yesterday maintained their different postures. While the governor saw nothing wrong in what he did, the party accused him of laying a booby trap for them by inviting them to keep the company of anti-democracy elements. The rally, aimed at drumming up support for the sanctity of ballot boxes, pitted the organiser against his core friends and political soul mates in the pro-democracy family and the AC respectively. Specifically, the inclusion of Senate President David Mark, who was billed to be the special guest of honour and the presence of former military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, triggered the boycott of the event by the likes of Prof. Wole Soyinka, AC National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, former Lagos Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, among others. But Oshiomhole, who was still basking in the euphoria of the success of the rally, said he had no regrets extending invitations to those his ‘core friends’ viewed as political lepers and enemies of democracy. He told whoever cared to listen that it was time to do away with politics of exclusion. Although the Edo helmsman described the boycott as unfortunate, he, however said the action of his friends reflected the fact that “friends and associates can differ on the evaluation and method of carrying out a mission.” According to him, the forum offered a unique opportunity to the leadership of the National Assembly through Mark on why the recommendations of the Justice Mohammed Uwais-led Electoral Reform must not be watered down, but implemented to the letter. His words: “You have to persuade him (Senate President) to take another look. The productive option is to continue to put pressure on the Senate leadership. “I am not from a political background. I am of the labour background. So, I don’t believe in the politics of exclusion because it is unhelpful. “I believe in the politics of inclusion because it is politics of tolerance. My background as a labour activist allows me to engage my opponents, not to avoid them but to engage them in discussion. “If I were still to do it tomorrow, I will invite as many people as possible. In fact, I will bring those I feel are not yet on board. It was not a partisan gathering. I respect their judgement but disagreed with them on approach.” On whether he would be sanctioned by his party, Oshiomhole said: “My fundamental human rights include my right to differ and would defend that right to any length. I am not a product of political parties but of organised labour and civil society. I have spent all my life fighting oppression. “My fundamental right connotes that I can differ. I respect their judgement, but they must also respect mine. AC is a democratic party, which means that we can disagree.” He likened those who turned back for the rally because of Mark and Babangida to a pastor who abandoned the altar because of the presence of sinners amongst his congregation. “The duty of the priest is to preach the gospel to sinners in the church and not to stage a walkout because the church is full of sinners. His mandate is to win the souls of the sinners.” Defending his action for inviting Babangida to the “One Man One Vote” rally, the governor said the objective of the forum was to bring people from various political persuasions across the country together to engage on how to solve the nation’s electoral problems. That purpose, according to him, was met last Thursday “and I am satisfied that it was a huge success,” he said. Justifying the extension of invitation to Babangida, who he said was invited just like all former Heads of State, Oshiomhole said he will do the same thing all over again if given the opportunity. He said: “We should work together. No politician can be more principled than Balarabe Musa; No living politician ever made more sacrifice than this man. He gave up his position as a governor in defence of his principle. He stayed behind and spoke his mind. I think we should work together to reform the electoral system.” In his view, shutting the door against people considered to be anti-democrats was not and can never be the solution. He said: “The objective was clear. To assemble people across the various political parties, leaders and politicians to renew the campaign for electoral reform, which we called “One man, one vote. I don’t believe in the politics of exclusion and that was why we threw open the invitation. “The discourse of electoral reform should be targetted at everyone so that it can deepen the debate and conversation. The real rigour of democracy does not permit us to involve in politics of exclusiveness. “But the National Publicity Secretary of the AC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, picked hole in Oshiomhole’s line of defence, stating: “What we met in Benin was an equivalent of an ambush and we had to retreat.” According to him, the party had no prior knowledge that Mark and Babangida would also be in attendance, noting that they would not have left their respective locations for Benin if they had known. He said the presence of AC chieftains who boycotted the rally would have given credence to some of the positions that the duo hold on certain national issues that are contrary to that of the party. His words: “There is the need for a complete and total disclosure. If we are being invited by a governor on the platform of our party, we expect him to share same core political values like ours. “Mark cannot by any yardstick claim to have same ideological position with us with the way they threw the key recommendations of the Justice Uwais-led panel on electoral reform, under his nose. “We won’t be comfortable sharing the same platform on a rally advocating ‘one-man one-vote’ with such a character.” On Babangida, Mohammed stressed that it would amount to a political suicide on their part if they attended the rally given a recent ‘fake’ report alleging that the party led a delegation to Minna to persuade the former military leader to pick Tinubu as his running mate. He said: “If we went ahead, would we not be giving credence to that false report?. Again, IBB has said he wants to be president on the platform on the PDP (Peoples Democratic Party), our going there would naturally have meant that we’re endorsing him. “In politics, there are boundaries. It’s not like activism. In politics, perception is everything. If we had attended that rally, we would spend the next four years trying to explain to Nigerians. We must learn to be responsive, and the sensibility of the actors matter.” Like Oshiomhole, the AC spokesman said:”If the same situation presents itself, we would respond the same way.” Also yesterday, the rally drew some flaks from a group which identified itself as Edo State Elders Consultative Forum. It alleged that the event was to surreptitiously endorse the Babangida presidency. The elders congratulated Soyinka for not falling into the trap set by Oshiomhole to hoodwink him, along with others, into endorsing IBB for the 2011 presidential race. In a statement released in Abuja entitled: “Oshiomhole’s one man, one vote may have come and gone, but the dust will still linger in our political hemisphere for a long time”, the group dissociated itself from the rally. The statement signed by Uyi Edo-Osagie and Madam Philomena Momodu, in their capacity as chairman and secretary respectively, said: “We join millions of Nigerians to call on Governor Adams Oshiomhole to come out of his ‘dark’ and let us into his ‘unknown’ side. Why will he appropriate Edo tax payers’ money into a phoney IBB project that he nicknamed One-Man-One-Vote?” By Bunmi Ogunmodede, Muyiwa Oyinlola & Emmanuel Ulayi, Abuja |
