This rubber stamp senate huh

festacman:
The appointment of Lauretta Onochie as INEC commissioner is deliberate because there is no way even APC senators will clear her, let alone their PDP colleagues. However, I believe there is a script being played out and Lauretta is a mere catalyst.

Lauretta is too insignificant politically for the Senate to act rubber stamp.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday said there was nothing wrong in the appointment of Lauretta Onochie, one of President Muhammadu Buhari's media aides, as a national commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The appointment has generated widespread criticisms from Nigerians who believed that it is partisan and unconstitutional.

However, speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC said the party will not succumb to the cheap blackmail orchestrated by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Nabena who gave instances of PDP men who are currently in INEC said what is good for the PDP is also good for the APC.

According to him the current INEC National Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is also a card carrying member of PDP.

He said "We are very comfortable with her appointment. The INEC Commissioner in Cross River, Mike Igini, is he not a PDP man? The INEC spokesman, is he not a PDP man? So, what are they talking about?"

"All these cheap blackmail by PDP is not going to work. As a party, we are comfortable with the appointment".

"Even the current INEC chairman was a PDP man. Was he not recruited from Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund)? Let us face the facts and stop the cheap blackmail being sponsored by the PDP. We are not going to succumb to their cheap blackmail. That is the reality" he said .

Can two wrong ever make a right

This administration has never seem to amaze us with their daft comparison

2 negatives may cancel out.

The Nigerian constitution actually suggests you must be a card carrying member of a political party to qualify as a member of INEC management.

But picking the issues one after the other, Sunday Vanguard discovered that the 1999 Constitution is part of the problem. For those accusing President Jonathan of appointing known partisan individuals to the board of INEC, Section 156 of that constitution says no persons shall be qualified to be appointedÂ as a member of INEC if â€œhe is not qualified or if he is disqualified for an election as a member of the House of Representativesâ€ . (See Box on What The Constitution says).

To be a member of the House of Representatives, an individual must belong to a political party and, by extension and implication, to be a member of any of the executive bodies, the person â€“ and in this case INEC â€“ must belong to a political party. When this issue was first raised in 1999, the whimsical explanation even by lawyers then was that the qualification did not relate to membership of a political party but just qualification sans party membership.
