Edo Election Postponement Ingenious Attempt To Buy Time For APC – PDP by Nobody: 9:42pm On Sep 08, 2016 |
The Peoples Democratic Party has rejected the postponement of the Edo governorship election saying that the Saturday September 10, 2016 Election Date should remain sacrosanct since there is no tangible reason(s)evident to tamper with the Election. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/edo-election-postponement-ingenious-attempt-buy-time-apc-pdp/ 7 Likes 1 Share

It has been many months since ex-President Goodluck Jonathan set a new tone for democracy and election in Nigeria and Africa by refusing the age-long penchant by African leaders to manipulate the electoral system to perpetuate themselves in power. Hate him or like him, you just have to give it to him that he scored the bull’s eye in bequeathing a far better electoral system than he inherited. Under Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government, the INEC was given full political, administrative, and financial autonomy, which made success recorded by Prof. Attahiru Jega’s success possible. For example, while his predecessors went on their knees to beg the Federal Government (FG) for funds, Jega’s INEC received by far more money and through first line charge than the predecessors. Beyond laws, Jonathan’s body language helped greatly in reshaping the nation’s elections history. For instance, while no law forbade him from appointing a fellow Ijaw man an INEC Chairman, he appointed Prof. Jega, a Fulani from Kebbi State. He was always the first to issue statements congratulating the opposition parties each time they won governorship elections, even if the State PDP was kicking. While the opposition threatened that the dog and baboon would soak in blood, Jonathan’s sing-song was that his ambition was not worth the blood of any Nigerian. And when Nigeria’s fate hung in the balance after the 2015 election, he showed statesmanship and courage by calling to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari. He did not even bother going to the tribunal, although he had good grounds to. He was apparently more concerned with Nigerians reuniting to move forward and in causing no distractions for his successor. Unfortunately, all these worthy legacies are petering away before the eyes of Nigerians, with impunity, fumbling, and inconclusiveness taking centre stage. First, the departing INEC Chairman handed over to his next in hierarchy, Mohammed Wali ,in acting capacity, but the presidency led by Buhari overruled him. In his stead was appointed Amina Zakari, an alleged relation of President Muhammadu Buhari, who also worked very closely with him at the Petroleum Trust Fund and also with Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Even when her tenure as a Commissioner at INEC expired, she continued to hold sway as Acting INEC chairperson under no known law and an arrangement that sent legal luminaries pondering. Next, security agencies got directly involved in electoral petitions for the first time since 1999. They invaded INEC offices, arresting, interrogating and intimidating INEC officials and PDP witnesses at will. Chairman of Rivers Governorship Election Panel was changed. Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Taraba tribunals were also relocated to Abuja for so-called ‘security’ reasons. The DSS has carried on so obnoxiously under this regime that it has been nicknamed Daura Secret Service on the social media. President Buhari and the Director-General of DSS, a former member of the APC Presidential Campaign Team, both hail from Daura. In another show of impunity and disregard for rule of law (Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution provides for 12 Commissioners and a Chairman), President Buhari refused to constitute INEC board until November 2015. Even when he eventually did, he ensured it was inconclusive as he appointed only six. Buhari is the first Nigerian president to appoint someone of his ethnic extraction as INEC Chairman. Could he and his other opposition leaders have accepted it if Jonathan had appointed an Ijaw as INEC Chairman?... http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/04/17/the-making-of-inconclusive-national-electoral-commission/ 85 Likes 13 Shares |

Yes just as GEJ and PDP did in 2015 general election to buy time for PDP. So Pdp should shut up and focus on rebuilding their image so that they can bring strong opposition we need or they die 3 Likes 1 Share |

So because of election, students should spend another year at home? Election was fixed the same day Mathematics exam is to be held. But the devilish PDP don't care cos they want to grab power. May your plans never materialize in Edo state. We have seen how well APC has contributed to developing Education in Edo state and we believe strongly that APC will continue to do more as Oshiomole has laid the foundation. Edo people kindly vote for APC. PDP ruled before and today they have nothing to show as their achievement in the state. 8 years was wasted. They literally turned Edo state into an Ancient city in ruins. But today, if you visit Edo state, you will see the difference. Continuity of APC in Edo is our best bet towards securing the future of the state. We don't want PDP to come and start distributing state money to Tony Anenih and other private pockets. Once bitten, twice shy. Edolites be wise. Shine your eyes. 9 Likes 1 Share |
