Nonsense talk. If not for overspending, how would some ever be in the National Assembly? If not for wealthy backers, how did PMB who told us that he could not purchase his form, contest and win? If not for overspending how did some become governors and got enslaved by their sponsors or godfathers? How many of them accounted for the humongous amounts spent to get into offices? Where there receipts or invoices presented as evidence of spending within the limits? Who asked them for records? How did Jega check the limits of spending in his tenure? Does it matter that NASS increased the spending limits? What difference does it make when it is an open secret that politicians spend billions to get into positions? Suddenly Jega presents himself as a saint or someone on a rescue mission. He actively participated to inflict this country with the hardship and suffering people experience presently. For me he should simple close his mouth and enjoy whatever benefits that were given to him in 2015. 9 Likes 1 Share |

So, what they are doing is that they are turning our democracy into plutocracy- government of the rich, for the rich and by the rich. So, it is a very serious problem. On the one hand you said you are including women and people with disability on the other hand, you are saying those who want to contest need to have a lot of money to be able to contest for a particular office”.This is the mess and rubbish that the looting and evil party called PDP drafted for our nation. We hope this set of assembly members correct the anomaly. A better Nigeria all around is all we want @[b][/b]. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

That is why i vehemently kick against "Not too young to run law" the same oppression our parents got because they were not fully educated, is the same oppression we will get from their children when we have the same educational qalification with their children. Can the child of any poor man gain from the "Not too young to run law? NOOOOOO |

oluwamykel:According to Wikipedia in 2008 Obama campaign spent $730m while his opponent the late senator John McCain spent $330m. That is over $1bn . Convert that to Naira exchange rate in 2008 - per NL post cited below https://www.nairaland.com/498412/nigeria-exchange-rates-dollar-history 1.060* 171 = N181.26bn - this is 2008 o And somebody is somewhere telling you politics isn’t all about money?

A spending limit stipulates the maximum that can be expended. It doesn't makes it mandatory that, that amount must be expended. Far less than that amount can be expended. What should be of concern to us is why do we spend so much in managing and prosecuting elections in Nigeria? In every election circle,INEC incurred huge expenditure to procured electoral materials including the printing of ballot papers which cost more than the cost of printing the national currency . This is done in a. bid to stop the rigging machinations of our politicians seeking for political offices. This can be regarded as normal in a clime where the occupation of public/political offices by almost all comers through politics are means of primitive accumulation of wealth. If the rewards inherent in occupying public/political offices are high , the stakes must be inevitably high, too. This is the major cause behind the huge funds been splashed on elections both by the election management body and those contesting elections. To address this issue, we must go back to the character of those who are seeking public offices through elections and whose primary desire is to enrich him or herself with the public resources at his or her disposal as much as possible. We must devise a way to put forward only those with sincere interest of serving the people, for electoral contests. For it is only those who are not seeking for the spoils of public offices that can restrain themselves from putting so much money in election and engaged in rigging and sabotaging elections. |
