Breaking News:2019 Supplementary polls:DA agent shots in Kuje Lga polls, hospitalized:DA National Chairman H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga condemn the Violence and Rigging in the General and Supplementary polls Nationwide.Explodes "The Conduct and Results of the entire elections both the general and supplementary is unacceptable to DA - As it is not the  true reflection of the will and votes of the Nigerian people"
" 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.

Your analysis JOHN COLLINS NWOBODO is a diatribe of faulty reducio de absurdum based on contradictory, obfuscating precepts of the darker aspects of rational inferences in political philosophy and creation hatched by dangerously calculating irrendentists who insists on violating the being and essence of all of the citizens of this great country and perpetrating their oligarchy and elitism on all and sundry as conquered people...and you have just been misguided by their never ending wimps and diabolical stratagems addressed to put you and the majority of Nigerians under locks and chains to eternity.It is a disgrace to intelligence that you a Masters Degree Holder in Law has fallen for their abracadabra and cannot comprehend the hidden scripts of the fifth columnist in the entire charade of the 2019 elections in the sovereignty as a travesty that cannot stand the investigations of a respectable, responsible jurisprudence; as it cannot be adjudged free, fair and credible.The fact that many aggrieved and short changed political parties are not challenging the election results in the tribunal is because of the prohibitive high cost of going to the election tribunal..you need to have a minimum of N50 Million Naira to put up a credible challenge in legal fees and other fees.Whence the Status Quo should be maintained Anti Bellum. And any human soul or institution that base it assessments of the political turfs of the sovereignty on the results of a widely disputed election to judge the performances of political parties and institutions involved in the entire larceny and trade of votes should be held suspect as accessory to the collateral damage and destruction of democratic ideals in Nigeria and the entire African continent..which portends grave dangers to the fortunes of the polity and the Human Race in generality. gratitude.

THE DIATRIBE OF JOHN COLLINS NWOBODO FOR YOUR ESTEEEM PERUSALS:

DECONGESTING THE POLITICAL SPACE: INVOKING THE DE-REGISTRATION CLAUSE UNDER THE 1999 CONSTITUTION

BY

JOHN COLLINS NWOBODO

The first legal provision on deregistration of Political Parties post 1999 general election is contained in section 78(7) of the Electoral Act, 2010. The section contains two grounds for deregistration viz: (1) breach of any of the requirements for registration (2) failure to win Presidential or Governorship election or a seat in the National or State Assembly election.

First of all, it is important to say that the right to form or belong to a Political Party is a fundamental human right enshrined in section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). In the said section, it provides, “Every person shall be entitled to assemble freely and associate with other persons, and in particular he may form or belong to any political party…for the protection of his interest.”

The introduction of the deregistration clause in the Electoral Act, 2010 was greeted by mixed reactions. While some hailed it, others deprecated it. The National Conscience Party (NCP) was the first to challenge the legality of section 78(7)(ii) in Court. Hon. Justice Abang of the Federal High Court Lagos in its judgment of 6th March, 2013 held the provision to be legal and valid. However the Court of Appeal Lagos in a judgment delivered on 24th July, 2015 declared section 78(7)(ii) unconstitutional, null and void. Thus, in the case, NCP & Anor. v National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria & 2 Ors. (2016) 1 NWLR (Pt.1492) 1 CA, the Court of Appeal per Chinwe Eugenia Iyizoba, JCA in declaring section 78(7)(ii) as inconsistent with the Constitution and null and void stated:

“I reiterate once more that there is nothing in section 221-229 of the Constitution prescribing that the continued existence of a recognized political party depended on its ability to win at least a seat in the National or State Assembly. There is no quarrel with section 78(7)(i) which empowers the Commission to de-register a political party on the ground of breach of any of the requirements of registration. But deregistration under section 78(7)(ii) for failure to win at least a seat in the National or State Assembly is a different ball game. There is no constitutional backing for the provision.”

Relying on the de-registration clause, INEC on 18th August, 2011 deregistered 7 Political Parties namely DA, NAC, NDLP, MMN, NPC, NEPP and NUP. Similarly, on 5th December, 2012 INEC deregistered 28 other Political Parties ostensibly due to failure to win election. The Fresh Democratic Party (Fresh) challenged its deregistration at the Federal High Court, Abuja. Justice Gabriel Kolawole in a judgement delivered in March 2013 restored the registration of the Party. In the same vein, the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) and Better Nigeria Progressive (BNPP) took out an action at the Federal High Court, Abuja which court presided over by Justice Adeniyi Ademola on 16th December, 2015 restored their registration.

In Barrister Jezie Ekejiuba v. INEC & Anor. (2016) LPELR-40926 (CA), the Court of Appeal, Enugu Division per Tom Shaibu Yakubu, JCA most succinctly stated:

“I am of the considered opinion that if the framers of the 1999 Constitution, having provided for the recognition of political associations which could metamorphose to political parties through the processes of registration by the 1st respondent pursuant to section 222 of the Constitution, had the mind that the registered political parties could be de-registered, the conditions for such de-registration would have been spelt out in the Constitution. In order words, since the conditions and processes involved before a political association is registered as a political party by the 1st respondent are clearly spelt out in section 222 of the Constitution, similarly the processes and conditions for a de-registration of a political party by the 1st respondent, if that was in the mind of the framers of the Constitution, the same would have been clearly set out in the Constitution.”

The two Court of Appeal decisions placed side by side oppose each other in some respects. Both decisions are to the effect that INEC cannot deregister a Political Party on the ground of failure to win election. However, there is dissonance in the interpretation of section 78(7)(i) which borders on deregistration on the ground of breach of any of the requirements for registration. NCP’s case approves of that ground, whereas Ekejiuba’s case struck it down. The Court in Ekejiuba’s case reasoned that if the intention of the framers of the Constitution was that a Political Party could be deregistered under certain conditions, it would have provided for same.

Therefore, in a bid to fortify INEC with powers to deregister Political Parties, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Fourth Alteration, No. 9) Act , 2017 provided elaborately the grounds for deregistration. Today, deregistration of Political Parties is now constitutionally provided. Section 225A of the Constitution (as amended) provides as follows:
The Independent National Electoral Commission shall have power to de-register a Political Party for-
(a) breach of any of the requirements for registration;
(b) failure to win at least twenty-five percent of votes cast in-
(i) one state of the Federation in a Presidential election;
or
(ii) one Local Government of the State in a Governorship election.
(c) failure to win at least-
(i) one ward in the Chairmanship election;
(ii) one seat in the National or State House of Assembly election; or
(iii) one seat in the Councillorship election.

The Constitution has therefore comprehensively set out conditions for deregistration. The ground of breach of any of the requirements of registration has six items as contained in section 222 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). In Barrister Jezie Ekejiuba v. INEC & Anor. (2016) LPELR-40926 (CA), the Court stated: “The six conditions of registration are well spelt out in section 222 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) thus:

No association by whatever name called shall function as a political party, unless-

(a) the names and address (sic) of its national officers are registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission;
(b) the membership of the association is open to every citizen of Nigeria irrespective of his place of origin, circumstances of birth, sex, religion or ethnic grouping;
(c) a copy of its constitution is registered in the principal office of the Independent National Electoral Commission in such form as may be prescribed by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
(d) any alteration in its registered Constitution is also registered in the principal office of the Independent National Electoral Commission within thirty days of the making of such alteration;
(e) the name of the association, its symbol or logo does not contain any ethnic or religious connotation or give the appearance that the activities of the association are confined to a part only of the geographical area of Nigeria; and
(f) the headquarters of the association is situated in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Without argument, the large number of Political Parties that participated in the 2019 General Elections created logistics challenges for INEC including cost, space and time. For example, 73 Political Parties were on ballot for the Presidential election. This is the largest number that we have witnessed in any election in Nigeria. Apart from the two dominant political parties-APC and PDP, the performance of the remaining 71 political parties was a huge joke. They made no impact in terms of the share of the votes cast. Also, the large number of Political Parties in the Presidential election made collation of results hectic and longer than usual.

Although, there are a few supplementary elections pending in places where election was declared inconclusive by INEC; nevertheless, we can tell how many Political Parties were able to escape the INEC sledge hammer of deregistration. How many of the Political Parties that participated in the Presidential election won at least twenty-five percent of the votes cast in one State of the Federation? With the exception of APC and PDP no other Party did. How many of Political Parties that participated in the Governorship election in the 29 States where Governorship election was held won twenty-five percent of the votes cast in one Local Government Area of the State? Again, with the exception of APC and PDP no other Party did. Judging the political parties on the basis of seats won in the National Assembly, only 11 Political Parties were successful. The successful Political Parties are APC, PDP and YPP in the Senate and APC, PDP, APGA, ADC, AA, PRP, APM, SDP, ADP and LP in the House of Representatives. For the House of Assembly, the seats revolve around APC, PDP and a couple of other Political Parties within the group of 11 Political Parties that won seats in the National Assembly or perhaps a few other Political Parties outside the 11. From the foregoing, it is a sore narrative that a paltry 12 percent of the 91 registered Political Parties survived the constitutional slaughter provision.

The Independent National Electoral Commission should rise to clear the political space by deregistering the ‘sickler’ political parties in accordance with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). This should be done as soon as the 21 days of presenting election petition elapses. Section 285(5) provides that an election petition shall be filed within 21 days after the date of the declaration of result of the elections. With barely four days to the end of the 21 days for presenting presidential election petition no other Party outside the group of 11 have presented a petition challenging the presidential election. INEC has a duty to maintain a healthy balance in the Political environment by ensuring that Political Parties which are too weak for competitive party democracy are not allowed to loiter the political space creating political nuisance.

Prince Frank Ukonga – the National Chairman of DA to the Youth, Women and Masses of Nigerian Federation:- The Youth, Women and Masses Revolution is Come: The Class Struggle between the Exploited and the Exploiters to grab power.

2019 polls- The National Chairman of DA Call on all Nigerians to vote for DA- Democratic Alternative

Public Announcement: 48 Hours to 2019 Polls: Broadcast Message of H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga – the National Chairman of DA to the Youth, Women and Masses of Nigerian Federation:- The Youth, Women and Masses Revolution is Come: The Class Struggle between the Exploited and the Exploiters to grab power.

“Fellow Compatriot of the Nigerian Federation, the 2019 election is the final push, the final struggle between the Youth, Women and the Masses that are being exploited, enslaved through various antics of the cabals that finally peaked when Nigeria currently is the poverty capital of the world. Nigeria by poverty index now has the poorest number of citizens in the entire world. This was a Nation that was having the richest peoples in the world in the days of General Yakubu Gowon, but today the story is sad and pathetic.”

“This day I proclaim that you have only one choice but to tear away from the mundane past and embrace a new beginning. They have shared themselves into two options of choose one of two evils. They have Brain washed you to choose between the APC and the PDP. Yet they are birds of same kinds. For 20 years of the current democratic dispensation the two parties have ruled you and failed woefully. It is time you take your destiny with both hands by voting them out in the 2019 election.”

“The DA-Democratic Alternative is the authentic third force that has tenaciously worked to prepare the ground for you to have a third credible, determined and dedicated Alternative. We are sponsoring over 1200 candidates that over 70% of them are Youth and women qualified, tested and trusted. We carefully brought them together as a team and we are presenting them to you today 48 hours to the general election as the Messiah God has sent to you to liberate the Nation from the firm grip of the cabals.”

“The Mission of Democratic Alternative is to create over 30 million jobs through the DA Marshal Plan of Economic, Industrial and Agric Revolution, To create over 10,000 cottage industries, to generate over 50 000 MW Electricity and provide cheap electricity to all and sundry, To protect and secure all and sundry, To bring peace, love and prosperity to all the citizens of Nigeria. To give free education at all levels, To invest in quality infrastructural development of good roads, rails, aviation and water ways… to have a proactive healthcare program for all, to eradicate hunger, poverty and want for ever from Nigeria and above all to create wealth and an economy of $3.5 trillion dollars which would position Nigeria among the top ten economic and industrial giant of the world and much more”
