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.
