VON: Listeners all over the world we bring to you on this
special occasion o the 1st of January 2019 on the New Year day H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga the Presidential
Candidate of Democratic Alternative Party to showcase his views on contemporary
issues. H.E. Welcome to the Voice of Nigeria Studio.
DA-H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: I Thank You for this special
privilege and I say Happy New Year to all Nigerians and citizens of the world;
we at DA-Democratic Alternative Party wish you progress, good health and
prosperity throughout the year 2019 and forever more.
VON: The 2019 election would be held this year a few weeks
away, what are your Expectations His Excellency as a Presidential Candidate and
that of your party.
DA: H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: The year 2019 will be full of
surprises and miracles and we are optimistic that it is the year of great success for the
Democratic Alternative Party and for all Nigerians.
VON: What are your expectations on the 2019 election in
particular?
DA-H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: This is the first time in the
History of Nigeria that about 91 political parties are going to slug it out in
the polls, our expectations is to have a free fair and credible outing for all
the participants in the election.
VON: The President H.E. Mohammadu Buhari in the New Year
Message promised peaceful, free, fair and credible elections in 2019 general elections..What’s
your take on this?
DA-H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: We are optimistic at DA that there
would be an election in 2019 and perhaps could be free, fair and credible but there
are gray areas that arouse some pessimism and anxieties.
VON: Pessimism in 2019 polls?
DA: Prince Frank Ukonga: Yes; we cannot have a free, fair
and credible election if the issue of Vote Buying and Selling is not stopped or
curtailed. Imagine somebody who had little stakes and outing in a polity at the
voting day shows up with big money to buy up all the votes and win that
election..That cannot be called free and fair election as it is an aberration. Again
what kind of quality service delivery would you expect from such a person? Which
are the main issues of the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections?
Secondly the issue of the new electoral bill on the Card Reader
and electronic transmission of votes which was not signed into law brings in
the lacuna of the possibility of underage voting and all the problems of the
2015 election would still linger on.
VON: And what are your anxieties in the 2019 elections?
DA: H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: The issue of Security and Peace during and after the elections raise lots of anxieties among politicians and well meaning citizens of Nigeria and the global Village. But them H.E. Mohammadu Buhari, My humble self and other presidential candidates signed a Peace Accord on the 11th of December 2018 brokered by the former head of state H.E. General Abdusalami Abubakar in the presence of high ranking leaders of Nigeria as former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon,HRM The Sultan of Sakwoto Sultan Abubakar, HRM Ooni of Ife Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ojaja 11 , Commodore Ebute Ukiwe … and we can only hope that all participants would conduct themselves with the Terms, Rules and Protocols of engagement spelt out in the Peace Accord addressed to guarantee Peace and Security of the sovereignty.. And on the 13th of December a National Security Summit and Training workshop was held in Abuja by the National Security Adviser Major General Monguno to work out a good election security synergy for all the Security Forces of Nigeria and the Training of the election security management personnel began in several cities and locations in Nigeria. This remarkable ingenuity if well harnessed would improve the quality of elections in Nigeria and impact positively on the fortunes of democracy in sub Saharan Africa.
VON: What Message do you have for Nigerians in 2019?
DA: H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: I wish Nigerians Happy New
Year and appeal to all to Support and Vote for DA –Democratic Alternative Party
in the 2019 election as the DA is presenting over 1200 candidates of about 1800
total elective positions in the 2019 polls and DA has emerged the 3rd
position only second to the APC and the PDP in terms of sponsorship of quality
candidates, national spread and following, marketability, presentability and acceptability
..etal. DA is the fastest growing party in Nigeria and perhaps in all emerging democracies of the world. We promise Free and qualitative
education at all levels, job creation, economic, industrial and Agric
Revolution,to eradicate Hunger and Poverty, electricity generation and distribution, quality infrastructural development,
pro active health care and security initiatives and much more.
VON: His Excellency, thank you for honoring the invitation of
Voice of Nigeria
DA. H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: I am highly elated for the privilege
