EDO POLLS LATEST: WHY SDMP WILL NOT GO TO THE TRIBUNAL- SDMP ADVISE STAKEHOLDERS IN EDO STATE/NIGERIAN POLITICAL ECONOMY TO BURY THE HATCHET AND JOIN HANDS TO MOVE EDO/NIGERIA TO THE PROMISE LAND

     EDO POLLS LATEST:  WHY SDMP WILL NOT GO TO THE TRIBUNAL-
SDMP ADVISE STAKEHOLDERS IN EDO STATE/NIGERIAN POLITICAL ECONOMY TO BURY THE HATCHET AND JOIN HANDS TO MOVE EDO/NIGERIA TO THE PROMISE LAND 
 

We at SDMP will not go to the tribunal to seek any redress in the just concluded Edo State Gubernatorial elections, about some gray areas of the elections of July 14, 2012. We really had some very pertinent aspects that we would have constitutionally wanted to challenge the authority and rational of the Nigerian Debate Group that suddenly after the first debate that was broad casted worldwide suddenly in the second debate excluded our candidate from participating in the second round of debate thereby casting a negative apparition on our candidate as  perhaps not good enough to be governor and the premise of the Nigerian Debate group was based on the analysis of the war chest of contenders and not on the quality of debate in content and context of each participant. This is contrary to dialectics and fair play, and this affected our voters as we lost the election due to this diabolical  move of the debate group and earlier we wanted to seek redress in the law court pleading that the entire election be stopped but the intervention of the resident electoral commissioner advised us at SDMP from stopping the election through a court injunction. 
When Socrates was adjudged the wisest man in Athenian civilization what he did was  to visit and dialogues with the 10 acclaimed wisest men of the Republic but he never concluded that he was wiser , he left the public and listeners to judge the debate, this became known as the Methods of Reducio de absordum of Socratise which became the international standard practice of political debates on  global basis till date. For the Nigeria Debate group to have judged politicians and candidates prior to theJuly 14 Edo  election was the greatest injustice and travesty ever done to the process of election in Nigeria and in the soils of Africa. 
And it is a disgrace to intelligence, a disgrace to the game without rules, and a travesty to the methods .of chiron de centurion...a shame to dialectics, and philosophy. A disinformation and a lowly behavior that almost truncated the entire great job of INEC  .
We shall advise that next time the Nigeria Debate Group should conduct themselves more intelligently and " bollee paroadochnee 'ie" more rectitude" as the Russians would say, But despite this great let down we are not going to court because we want the progress of the people of EDdo state and the great people of Nigeria.

On the behalf of Edo Social Democratic Mega Party and Social Democrats of Nigeria and in diaspora I prince Frank Ukonga on the behalf of all the progressive avangargt of the world appeal to all stakeholders in the Edo / Nigerian Project to bury the hatchet and join hands to move Edo state and Nigeria to acceptable standards of democratic and social economic development of international standard practise addressed to deliver the dividends of democracy to the table of the teaming population of Nigerians most of whom are living below poverty line of 1.5 dollars allowance per day of the United Nations standards.

We at Social Democratic Mega Party are social democrats of the centre left and we belief solidly in the following ideological resolves as garmaine to the evolution of a more polished mankind worthy of pursuit as a policy thrust on local and global basis;

we believe in the fact that all thing being equal the peaceful coexistence of people , Nations and states with inalienable rights to freedom of movement , speech, association and peace is a non negotiable phenomenology

we believe in the principles of equality among stakeholders of the world project as well as in Edo/ Nigeria project and we are irrevocable committed to promote peace, justice, equity and liberty to all citizens of Edo state/ Nigeria as a non negotiable imperatives.

we believe in human resource development as the imperatives for building a n egalitarian society worthy of presentation of a global basis; ans in this context we subscribe to the followings;

 Free and qualitative education to all indigines of a state/ country addressed to train high polished people in the society. It is the quality of human being that determines consciousness according to the the first laws of Socialist Democracy. And the more elevated the human being is the more elevated and qualitative the society become in accordance with the Marxist laws of negation of the de negation as well as the laws of quantitative transformation to qualitative.

We believe that all human being of a polity be gainfully employed as a right and not a privilege. Thence in the Govt of Social Democrats it is a must that all the citizen be gainfully employed as an irrevocable commitment to the provision of job and crating avenues and enabling environment to achieve this.

Industrialisation via industrial and agricultural revolutions are inevitable if we need to create quantom of jobs for the majority and to move the polity to wards acceptable standards of rectitude.

We believe in the principles of diplomatic reciprocity's in the aspects of foreign policy thrust backed by a solid  believe in the equality of Nations and mutual respects for sovereignty and the concept of non interference in the affairs of other Nations as enshrined in the articles of the United Nations General Assembly.

 In this context we believe in the aspect of REPATRIATIONS Trow be aid to the Black race by the colonial imperialist powers for more than 500 years of colonisation, slavery and imperialism of a peaceful loving African people who never indeed offended them in any way. This was a willful crime committed by the white race addressed to destroy the black race and we shall continue tom ask for reparations to be paid to the Black race till the end of time. It a was this Slavery, colonisation and imperialism that destroyed all the great superlative structures civilization of the Black Race, as well as the destroyed all the primordial loyalties casting a negative apparition of thew white race as the cold rigid elements of historical and dialectical development of the homo sapiens.This is unacceptable to us at SDMP. This was unacceptable to our late leader H.E. Basorun MKO Abiola who paid the supreme price as the leader of SDP now SDMP as the president elect of the Nigeria who died before he could be inaugurated. May his great soul rest in perfect peace.

Now SDMP is fully back and gradually we are gaining strength in membership on daily basis and soon we shall begin to call the shot in the Nigerian federation as we have set in motion a grandiose plan to reinvent our party based on alliances and unity of the entire progressives of the Nigerian Federation under the banner of Social Democratic Party to grab power both political power, economic power, industrial power etc come 2015 general elections in the Nigerian Federation.

On these noble tenet we seek your friendship...join the Social Democratic Mega Part now... the most progressive political Party in Nigeria and Africa.

LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

PRINCE FRANK UKONGA- SDMP GUBER CANDIDATE EDO STATE LAUD THE SSS , POLICE FOR THE ARREST OF THE KILLERS OF ADAMS OSHIOMOLES'S AIDES OLAITAN OYEDIRAN.

PRINCE FRANK UKONGA- SDMP GUBER CANDIDATE EDO STATE LAUD THE SSS , POLICE FOR THE ARREST OF THE KILLERS OF ADAMS OSHIOMOLES'S AIDES OLAITAN OYEDIRAN.

 It was with big relief we of the SDMP Party, stakeholders in the Edo state/ Nigerian political economy received the big news that the SSS have arrested and paraded those who killed the Aide of Governor of Edo state ,Adams Oshiomole which subsequently overheated the political climate of Edo state in the just concluded Governorship elections. We of the SDMP party thank the police particularly the indefatigable no nonsense Inspector General of police Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar, we also thank the Director of SSS and all the staff of the SSS for a job well done.

paraded suspects of killers of Comrade Olaitan Oyediran

The suspected masterminds in the murder of Mr. Olaitan Oyerinde, Principal Private Secretary (PPS) to Governor A...dams Oshiomhole of Edo State yesterday, gave a vivid account on how he was killed at his Benin GRA residence this year. The six suspects, who allegedly confessed to the crime, however, said they were not assassins, but armed robbers.

 Oyerinde was killed by gunmen on May 4 in his residence at 65, 2nd Ugbor Road, GRA, Benin City, Edo State in circumstances depicting politically-motivated killing to frustrate Oshiomhole’s (his principal) bid for a second term. However, about three months after his death, the suspects, who were paraded yesterday by the Deputy Director, Press, State Security Service (SSS), Marylyn Ogar, before newsmen in Abuja, revealed that Oyerinde was attacked following information that he was a powerful figure in Oshiomhole’s government and kept large sums of money at his residence.

 The suspects were identified by the SSS as Mohammed Ibrahim Abdullahi, Raymond Onajite Origbo, Chikezie Edeh, Saidu Yakubu (a. k. a Imam), Sani Abdullahi Abubakar and Hassan Bashiru. According to Ogar, “Comrade Olaitan Oyerinde was murdered in cold blood by the trio of Mohammed Ibrahim Abdullahi, Raymond Onajite Origbo and Chikezie Edeh. The three other suspects, Saidu Yakubu (aka Imam), Sani Abdullahi Abubakar and Hassan Bashiru are buyers of stolen items.”

 In an account which was corroborated by the alleged masterminds, Abdullahi said careless statements made by Ali Ihiade, the security guard of the late Oyerinde at various times about his principal’s position in government, attracted his attention, making him to subsequently plan the robbery.

 He said that on the day of the robbery, he specifically instructed other gang members to tie up Ihiade before they entered Oyerinde’s home so that the security guard would not recognize him. Abdullahi narrated that when they approached Oyerinde’s residence on that day, he merely touched the unsecured gate and it flew open and they walked straight to his sitting room and met the door wide open, giving them easy access to operate.

 “We took his gateman. We saw him lying down on the furniture in the sitting room while his wife and baby were also lying down in the sitting room. Immediately he saw us, he ran into the bedroom and I fired a shot in the air, asking him where he was going to. Ibrahim was outside by the bedroom window. When he heard the shot and saw him through the window, he fired three shots at him through the window and killed him. “Ibrahim is our gang leader.

 We went to rob, it was not in our mind to kill him,” Origbo allegedly confessed and his account was corroborated by all the suspects. For Abdullahi, he said when he saw the late Oyerinde run into his bedroom and attempted to go under the bed, he believed that the governor’s aide was going for a gun in the place, and he therefore, shot at him. According to the SSS, Abdullahi, a 46-year-old security guard, hails from Gombi Local Government Area in Adamawa State.

 Origbo, 26, an Urhobo, is from Delta State, allegedly confessed to participating in the crime and receiving N6,000 as well as a BlackBerry smart phone as his share from the items stolen from Oyerinde’s house. Edeh, 30, a native of Akpugo village in Nkanu Local Government Area of Enugu State, also allegedly admitted to participating in the crime and receiving a mobile phone and an apple Ipad computer as his share, which he sold for N10,000. For Yakubu, 42, from Dakingari village in Zuru, Kebbi State, the SSS said that he confirmed knowing the suspects and had always bought stolen items from them. He also introduced Edeh to Abdullahi to participate in armed robbery. Abubakar, 35, an indigene of Gaya village in Niger Republic, but born in Zamfara State, was said to specialize in buying and selling of stolen phones and other items in Benin City, the Edo State capital. He also allegedly confessed to buying three Blackberry smart phones and one Nokia C5 phone from Origbo for N52,000 only, which he resold at N57,000 only.

 Bashiru hails from Zaga, Bagudo Local Government Area in Kebbi State. He deals in foreign exchange and used phones, also confessed to buying some Blackberry smart phones and Nokia phone too from Abdullahi Ibrahim whom he had known for about five years now.

 Ogar said that the weapons, comprising three guns used during the robbery had all been recovered from the suspects who are now in custody and would be handed over to the police for prosecution.

PAPER DELIVERED BY PRINCE FRANK ONAIVI UKONGA SDMP GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE OF EDO STATE @ NTA, BENIN 2012 GOVERNORSHIP DEBATE TOPIC: “STRATEGIES FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE” IN EDO STATE

PAPER DELIVERED BY PRINCE FRANK ONAIVI UKONGA

SDMP GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE OF EDO STATE

@ NTA, BENIN 2012 GOVERNORSHIP DEBATE

TOPIC:        “STRATEGIES FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE” IN EDO STATE

I thank NTA the organizers of this Governorship debate in raising the ethics of elections in Edo State and sub Saharan African to higher standards of summun bonum.

The topic of discuss is “Strategies for good governance” in Edo State and in pursuance of that objective as a Gubernatorial candidate in the July 14 polls, I posit the following observations imperative for good governance of Edo State in particular and for all Nation state in generality.

In 1992, I published a celebrated book titled “The Sitting World” which has been classified by many research institutes and Universities all over the world and has made the dean list award of many universities including the North Western University in USA,  Indiana University, Institute of Research and Strategic Planning of the University of Australia and more. My book on strategies for good governance of Nation state is used as a research material in most exclusive circles of the world for Nations in search of rapid social economic and industrial advancement.

In the case  of Edo State as a case study of a developing polity, the strategies for good governance has to focus on economic, educational, agricultural, empowerment of youth and women in the context of Human Resource development as well as infrastructural development in that order of mutantis.

This will now guarantee employment which will ameliorate voluntary and involuntary redundancies.

1).      In the aspect of economic development, it is imperative to cognitize that macro economic structures of most developing States are based on the Keynesian Economic Theory that is largely fiscal driven than market driven. The ratio of the IGR (Internally Generated Revenue) of Edo State to the Federal allocation is well below 40% benchmark of the FIRS, which implies that we have to do more in looking inwards to generating internal revenue to finance the development of Edo State.

          Albeit that Nigeria and Edo State are rental States and not tax Nation states, there is the need for FIRS to put up enabling laws to support the transition of the State. The House of Assembly will also have a major part to play in this context.

2).      Mobilization of the Urban and Rural Areas for accelerated development. Our R&D at SDMP shows that more than 70% of the money that is in circulation are in the hands of unorganized, non bankable concepts in the rural and semi-urban areas of the State, so it is imperative to assist these areas which will in turn assist in financial resource mobilization of the State.

3).      Loans and grants: There is the need for fiscal and financial prudency in government spendings in the aspects of budgeting of cutting our coats according to the cloth available otherwise this will lead to deficits and obnoxious debts for the future generation to service which inadvertently retards development and impart negatively on good governance.

a).      Infrastructural development: The infrastructural development of Edo State will be addressed in the form of the Russian Methods of communal development of forming communal construction companies and brigades equipped with assistance from the Works Ministry in providing tractors, bulldozers, excavators, bitumen and construction materials as well as salaries for all employed in the construction brigade: They will have Engineers, Technicians etc attached to them by the government. This will create more than 30 0,000 jobs as each L.G.A will be empowered to create the Youth Construction Brigade. This method will also be given maximum interpretation in the security, health and agricultural areas which will create an additional 500,000 jobs and Edo State is 4 million people and so far we would be able to create close to 2 million jobs in the first year of SDMP government.

         

b).      Security, Discipline and Accountability: For good governance in Edo State we need to emphasize that security of life and property is paramount. Discipline and accountability is also mandatory and we at SDMP are committed to maintain and support all the security agencies to do their job.

c).      Industries: To quickly leap frog into the future we are committed to industrialize Edo State by creating numerous cottage industries for people to work. We promise 100 cottage industries that will employ 200 – 500 people each 400,000 jobs within our 100 days in office.

d).      Education: Education is the bed rock of development and good governance as an educated society is easy to lead, whence Education is our top priority at SDMP, and we are committed to free and qualitative education at all levels.

e).      Agricultural development: For good governance of a State, it is imperative that it achieve self sufficiency in feeding its people and perhaps export the surplus and its agricultural produce to other States. SDMP will invigorate a strong agricultural revolution policy which include giving loans and grants to farmers and assisting with the cultivation and harvesting of crops both cash crops and food crops by making available good seedlings, chemicals and tractors to farmers, as well as construct access roads to rural areas. We shall also encourage huge mechanized farming and shall invite big farmers from USA, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Russia to come and invest in agriculture.

f).      Youth, Women and Sport Developments as germane to good governance and every polity will be given maximum interpretations in Edo State. We shall give grants and loans to all market women, built new markets, empower the women and youths of the State to become self employed, disciplines and good moral and ethical persuasions.

          Similarly, we shall develop sports and we want to win the Premier League by supporting the Club side soccer. We shall also sponsor novelty matches with Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Man United, Spartak Moscow, Dynamo Kiev, Anderletch and other clubs of the world. We shall also encourage basketball, and other games including athletics.

Conclusion: We at SDMP promise to deliver the dividends of democracy to the table of the Edo people if voted into power in July 2012. We promise to serve diligently with discipline and accountability.

Vote Prince Frank Ukonga for Governor, Vote SDMP the most progressive party in Nigeria.

Thanks
