DA National chairman H.E. Prince Frank ukonga reject the results and conducts of the 2019 general and supplementary election calls for cancellation and a rerun of the entire election |
" And in particular the DA that is the 3rd force fielding more than 1200 candidates in the election has been shortchanged and massively rigged out by acts of omission and commissions that characterized the travesty and charade called the 2019 general election. We call for the cancellation of the entire election and a rerun of the general election rescheduled.
The 2019 Supplementary polls has been characterized by the same idiosyncrasies that marred the general elections of the 2019 polls which is the wide spread violence unleashed on the polity by the tugs of the APC party addressed to achieve a diabolical motive of rigging the 2019 election in favour of their non performing government. The Nigerian peoples have vehemently rejected the APC at the polls in the 2019 elections both general and the supplementary polls but the APC are determined to subvert the wish of the Nigerian over 250 million peoples through violence, tyranny, rigging and all other vices to continue to perpetuate themselves in government.
The APC and the cabals do not like the brand of politics of DA calling for a generational paradigm shift of leadership to the youth and women and have launched a diabolical plot against the DA Party not to win any seat in the 2019 elections so that they can de register DA in the obnoxious stratagem of smuggling into the Nigerian constitution at the eleventh hour to the 2019 election giving constitutional powers to INEC to de register political parties that cannot win a seat in the Assemblies to be de registered.
It is philosophically wrong and an aberration for an umpire to be given rights and powers to call the shots on which party should exist or die in a multi party multi ethnic democratic dispensation. By the powers give to INEC unwittingly the Senate have sold the birth right of all Nigerians to associate and form political parties to an organization that could least be described as independent.
Under section 222 [a-f] of the Nigerian constitution as amended giving powers to INEC to de register political parties any party could be de registered even if you win a seat in an election. Even the most notable opposition party with serving Senators and governors could be de registered under some sections of the constitution, Whence the constitutional amendment by the Senate of the 8th Republic should be subjected to another review by the incoming Senate /Legislatures of the 9th Republic to save the Nigerian democracy from denigrating into a full blown dictatorship of One Party State.
In this context the DA was shortchanged in the 2019 election to make sure that the party never win any seat either councillorship, governorship nor National and state assembly elections nationwide.
The story is the same in every constituency where DA has comparative advantage of winning, thugs would come to disrupt the election and rig in any party of their choice as directed by their masters.
In some cases DA logo would be conspicuously omitted from the ballot papers as in Abuja House of Representative election of Municipality/Bwari constituency, as in gwagwalada central ward councillorship , as in some constituencies in Lagos state and some other states.
We do not have the resources to go to the tribunal in most of these cases to complain and seek redress.We have over 150 cases where DA were violated directly and brutally rigged out in the general and supplementary elections. We may not be able to go to the election tribunal but we are compiling all the cases for the purpose of public court to judge on how the most friendly youth and women party was shortchanged, violated and rigged out in the charade of vote buying and selling , violence and outright allotments of votes called the 2019 election.
The Nigerian Democracy is in grave danger of becoming a full blown dictatorship,Gratitude.
