Electoral Bill: APC, PDP guilty of playing politics with Nigeria's stability Says Olawepo Hashim
https://mrrightsng..com/2018/12/electoral-bill-apc-pdp-guilty-of.html

Frontline Presidential Candidate, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has accused the two dominant parties, the All Progressive Party (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of playing politics with the nation’s stability through the way and manner they are handling the electoral act.

The candidate running on the platform of the People’s Trust (PT) and regarded as a third force in the build up to the February presidential elections stressed that rather than presenting themselves as statesmen, the candidates are rather obsessed with immediate partisan gains.

He told reporters at an interactive session in Lagos while reacting to the president’s refusal to give accent to the electoral act, which he said was passed by the PDP controlled National Assembly, that the supposed top actors are falling below standards.

Olawepo-Hashim stated: “The president is conducting himself like a typical Nigerian politician of the era of political decline, rather than behaving as a patriot that I have always thought he is. By his actions, he is simply saying let me benefit from the fraudulent process for my 2019 bid. You can push for the new law in 2023 when I will not be contesting.”

He said it is regrettable that with the spiraling poverty in the land, insurgency by Boko Haram, violence in the North East and North West, incipient Shite rebellion due to high handedness, massive insecurity and bloodletting in various states, Nigeria may be damaged beyond redemption in four years, should we all succumb to the plot for the APC to hand themselves a fresh term through a faulty process.

The candidate believed to be flying the flag of the young and the active, noted that the PDP led legislature had ample time to correct the perceived lacunas in the electoral act, which they had created in the first instance, but are rather distracting the polity with it.

He continued: “In the task of nation building, political leaders sometimes have to rise above the fray and take decisions in the national interest, even when it does not seem to benefit from it. Some of us did this before. In 2000, when some of our colleagues wanted to change our two year tenure to four years, I led the opposition to this, even though I would have been a beneficiary of that exercise as a National Executive Committee (NEC) member”

The PT presidential candidate called on the electorate and the entire citizens of Nigeria not to be discouraged from participating in the next polls as a result of the shenanigans of APC and PDP.

He regretted that since what he called the “garrison” election in Osun state and the unfortunate decline of assent to the electoral act, the APC has been trying to spread fear in the hearts of would be voters that their votes will not count.

Even then, he noted that the PT is a product of the struggle for democracy and assuring the populace that they know what to do in the event of anyone trying to hold on to power , irrespective of the people’s desire. “We are a party for the people and we shall stand by them all the time”

The path of honour is for the president to commit himself to a transparent poll and ensure and ignore the counsel of palace courtiers and political war mongers intent on moving the country in the path of further destruction, God forbid.

END

This guy made sense.

It is so unfortunate. I didn't even know that others saw the game apc played in Osun state.. And apc supporters are happy. They are praising those monsters..

Hmmmmm.. Very soon, other countries will stop granting us visa. We will all dye here. Shithole.

I took my time to read the bill today and I wholeheartedly agree with him. Both parties and the NASS are not being sincere with the truth about this issue. The NASS inserted clauses that will be favourable to them. While the president has refused to assent chiefly because the election order might not be favourable to him, if members of NASS are voted in first.

Nothing is ever done to favour the majority of Nigerians. It is always about the 1 percent, that majority of us are not part of.
