Tony Osazuwa- Special Adviser to the Government of Edo state: Moderator Mr. Wilson held on the 14th April 2013@ ITV studio Benin.
Edo state governorship polls adjudged the best in Nigerian history was conducted free by INEC

ITV Wilson: It is my pleasure to welcome to the studio His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga SDMP Chairman Edo state, Hon. Tony Osazuwa Special Adviser to the House of Assembly of Edo state and Hon. Victor Ogba Chairman NCP Edo state.
ITV: Mr. Wilson: His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga, the Edo state Local government election is only a few days away and there has been cases of war between rivals political parties of A CN and the PDP and two people have been killed and many hospitalized with billions of Naira worth of properties destroyed. What exactly should we expect of Elected Local government chairmen?
SDMP: H.E. Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga: Before I go on with my arguments I want to make a point clear to the entire world about the relationship between our party SDMP and the incumbent government of A CN in Edo state. Both SDMP and A CN are progressive parties and we allied together in the governorship polls of 2012, SDMP are proud of comrade Adams Oshimhole’s giant strides in the infrastructural development of Edo state and his investment in Education in the state, his health and IGR programs but we disagree only on the matters of the Local government elections.
SDMP: H.E Prince Frank Ukonga: Our answer to you question: You should not expect anything spectacular from any Local Government Chairmen in the context of quality service delivery to the electorate of the 7th Republic because they are under slavery and bondage of the governors. In January this year 2013, I wrote a thesis to the President of the Nigeria federation, the House of Representative and the Senate about the imperatives of the autonomy of the Local Government in the constitutional amendment if we want them to perform and be responsible for their decisions as developmental centers addressed to trickle down the dividends of democracy to the grass root. The presidency backed my dissertation and the President His Excellency President Goodluck Jonathan vowed to pursue the autonomy of the local Governments in the constitutional review exercise. Professor Bolaji Akinyemi the renowned Nigerian Ambassador and former  foreign Affairs Minister also backed me, Senator Ike Ikweremadu, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, senator Smart Adeyemi  and many others are all backing me to make sure that in the new amendment of the constitution the local government are granted full autonomy. It was only Governor Rotimi Ameachi Chairman of Governors Forum that is objecting my proposals..
Furthermore my proposals will translate to the followings?
1) Separations of state/ local government accounts
2) Local government to be recognized constitutionally as federating units
3) From the no2 above Local government polls nationally to be conducted by INEC the federal government electoral body and the subsequent dissolution of all state electoral bodies. Once the constitution recognizes the Local Government as federating units then it is the duty and responsibility of the federal Government to conduct elections into federating units. This is truth self evident. So the constitutional amendments should remove that clause from the duties of the governors to constitute an electoral body for states and be amended to being privileged to participate in counterpart funding of Local government polls organized by INEC while the new proposed INEC will absorb all states electoral bodies into one big formidable strong electoral institution.
4) All state/ local government counterpart projects which are the source by which governors encroach on L.G. Funds are thenceforth going to be optional to L.G.
5) On no account should a state governor dissolve the elected Local government Chairmen and appoint his cronies and man Friday to take control of the L.G and begin to loot the L.G. Treasuries.
These are the major points of vexation and the reason why there is no development in the grass root and also the reason why no local government chairman can be held accountably to the electorate. The governors have enslaved them in everlasting bondage tinkering with their statutory allocations, grants, ecological funds, SURE-P Petroleum subsidy funds and all other sources of funding of the LG. And above all the governors have gone a borrowing and a sorrowing; mortgaging the state accounts as well as the LG. Account as security and lien to private capitalist lending, banks and foreign financial institutions. And in this context most state governors domiciliate the control of the accounts of the state/ L.G. joint accounts to these lenders unilaterally and collect huge loans without the knowledge of the L.G. Chairmen. This is blatant breach of constitution and a miss use of power. So I have advised the Association of the Local Government Chairmen-ALGON- to go to court to seek for clarification and to pursue the ideals of the five points I have mentioned above and the following week in February2013 they heeded my advice and they have gone to court. And hopefully the court will decide in their favor.
Note: Pls the above thesis is an academic and scientific disputation based on the Theories of the German Philosopher Leibniz as in “Nihil Est Nihil fit”- which is the aphorism of universal causality of things in themselves- as nothing comes out of nothing- as well as on the theories of Emmanuel Kant’s universality of the theories of reason and immanent purpose-you should not expect anything from a deontological system” You can only expect something from a teleological system which translate to setting the captive free and holding him responsible and accountable for his / her actions and that was the reason God granted mankind free will. So that God can judge us and hold us accountable for our actions. So for now not until when the Senate amends the constitution to set the Local Government free from slavery do not expect anything from local government chairmen, nor should you expect dividend of democracy and development to reach the grass root peoples.
ITV: Wilson: Hon Tony Osazuwa: what’s your stake on the autonomy of the local governments in the constitutional review exercise?
A CN :Tony Osazuwa: I agree fully with His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga on the need for autonomy for the Local Government and I will add that the states Houses of Assemblies all over the 36 states also demands autonomy: both financial autonomy and some level of independence to be able to stand on their two legs and deliver quality services to the polity.
ITV: Wilson: Hon. Victor Ogba: what’s your stake on the issue of expectations form Local Government Chairmen?
NCP: Hon Victor Ogba: Well the expectations of the peoples are very high from the coming Chairmen and councilors in the aspects of quality service delivery to the peoples of Edo state. We are not saying that they should come and repair all the bad infrastructures particularly Local government roads that are seriously in bad shapes but at least we are expecting them to grade the roads and make them motor able. And again they should known that posterity and history will continue to witness those who performed and those who did not: though by the convincing analysis of His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga about the dilemma of the Local Government Chairmen which inhibit them from being able to deliver quality services to the electorate but then with what ever little they are able to raise they should do their best.
ITV Mr. Wilson: A number of people are exercising fears that Edsiec the Edo state electoral institution may not be able to conduct a free and fair election as to the saying that he who pays the piper dictates the tune: what’s your stake on this His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga
SDMP:H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: Our views at SDMP is very clear about this which I expressed last week when the INEC Commissioner of Edo state Hon. Bator Kpagi, Hosted Me and other stakeholders in Edo state political economy and governance. In this context according to the laws of Roberts Green 49 steps of power which states that when you get to an institution and there are barriers and steel doors to frustrate you from coming inside you should not force your way inside because more barriers will be put in place for you not to access the inner rooms. So the barriers and steel doors placed in the Edo LG Polls by Edsiec of 100,000 Naira deposit and that of 780,000 naira tax clearances as well as the screening barriers and other indigene requirements are all the kind of barriers addressed to shortchange other political parties and candidates from been eligible to contest the polls.Niger state conducted their own LG. elections and it was free, the Niger state governor His Excellency Aliyu Babangida supported all other parties by assisting them with cars, jeeps and funds, same the Kaduna state governor the Late Patrick Yakowa did and the Kogi state and about 17 states have conducted free polls without charging a peny from candidates in the past 12 months and our allocation in Edo and IGR is higher than most of these states. Though this constitutional amendment , done in a hurry by the incumbent government in power, alienating other political parties and credible individuals with portable war chest from being able to contest the election. The incumbent in power can sponsor their entire candidates as they are in power and in government. That is why; of the almost 10 political parties that has presence in Edo state only about 5 put up candidates; and of the 210 positions being contested which will translate to 2100 candidates from all the political parties if their were not barriers but now only about 500 candidates are contesting the Edo state local government polls which is less than21% of the total expected candidates. And the bulk of them are from the incumbent party that presents 210 candidates about 45 % of contestants. This translate that the polls has being manipulated constitutionally by the incumbent party to its favor. So the Laws of Robert Green states that in this type of scenario you as a new party can only participate by going into negotiations with the incumbent party that kept those barriers in place. That is horse trading. Which we did at SDMP, but our entreaties were rejected and we decided to step aside following the laws of Roberts Green. Lastly the only other option is to go to court. But then the PDP are forcing their way into the schemes of things and according to the laws of Roberts Green they will meet with more obstacles and barriers and at the end loss out wasting their time, money and energies.
ITV: Mr. Wilson: His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga , are you saying that the election have been rigged by the incumbent.
SDMP: H.E. Prince frank Ukonga: I have not said so. It is you that have just arrived at that conclusion axiomatically. All I did was to position all the premises of the polls before you and the entire Nation and the whole world in the Aristotelian argumentum of Reducio de Absurdum so that you and the Nigeria peoples and all peoples of the world can deduce their rational inferences on their own in their various soliloquies …and you have just expressed your own doubts and conclusions. So that has nothing to do with Prince Frank Ukonga ; the Prince of Kukuruku provinces, principalities and powers.
ITV: Mr. Wilson: Hon Tony Osazuwa: What’s your assessment of Edsiec in conducting free and fair polls?
A CN: Hon. Tony Osazuwa: I believe they would conduct a good free and fair polls because even in the screening exercise it was candidate from the incumbent party of A CN that was first disqualified and the members of the Edsiec are not member of the A CN party and we all know that they are men and women of integrity and to me they have proved beyond reasonable doubts that they will deliver on promises of a great free and fair polls come April 2013.
NCP: Hon: Victor Ogba: What’s your stake on the question of Edsiec being able to conduct a free and fair polls in this April 20 2013 LG. polls of Edo state.
NCP: Hon Victor Ogba: As I have said earlier the Edsiec have a date with history. The electorates are expectant and anxious to see they perform and if they do it is to their credit and if they fail it is also to their demise. Later we shall all meet in the streets and in public function and say ahaa this ware the peoples that conducted a free and fair polls in Edo state if they perform and it they fail history will also judge them accordingly.
ITV: Mr. Wilson: What are your parting words for the youth that are restive and causing violence in the elections of Edo LG, His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga.?
SDMP: H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: The only way to organize a free and fair election in any polity is to remove those barriers kept in by Edsiec and the exorbitant prohibitive tax barriers, the barriers of indigeneship and screening. INEC the federal electoral body of the Nigerian federation never kept these barriers in place that was why the Edo state governorship polls was fair, free and peaceful. When you bring in barriers and steel doors constitutionally as in emergency election edicts and tax clearances of obnoxious questionable standard practices you are frustrating more than 99% of Edo peoples not to be able to contest elections but you want them to come out and vote in an election were they are not qualified to contest as candidates   because of the stiff regulations where less than 21% of their son and daughters were only qualified to contest as candidates in an election that should present at least 2100 contesting candidates. And the quality of an election also depend on the number of candidates and the variety of choice presented to the peoples and this will impact negatively on the overall assessment of the promotional ability of the electoral body-Edsiec. In an election were an electoral body could only present less than 21% of expected contestants, I doubt if any reasonable jury of intelligent people would adjudged that level of achievement as adequate in international and even local standard practice as to adjudged as having passed in a multi party democracy. And already two people have lost their lives and properties worth billions destroyed due to all these stiff concurentia. So the only way forward is to go back to status quo anti bellum of removing, the entire constitutional and tax barriers and indigene barriers as well as screening barriers .it is only then you can anchor true democracy in Edo state and in the Nigerian federation. But with this kind of milieu it will disfranchise a vast majority of Nigerians from participating in polls when Ekiti state introduced those obnoxious barriers Barrister Femi Falana took then to court and stopped those barriers. And that is what we should have done as well in the case of Edo state. This our culture of timidity and silence in Edo state will set a negative example to other states as in Delta state and Gombe state have started to copy the Edo state scenario and in no time the entire 36 states will catch up with it and other African states and emerging democracies of the world addressed for the incumbent party to perpetuate itself in power for ever constitutionally. And that is why we appeal to the Oba of Benin HRH, and the Crown Prince of Benin and all other stakeholders to re examine this issue properly and advice the incumbent party appropriately. As these novae, diabolical, potent grave danger, for the growth of democracy, in Nigeria, Africa, and the entire world.
ITV. Mr. Wilson: Hon. Osazuwa: what are your parting words for the restive youth of Edo State?
A CN: Tony Osazuwa: I will advise the restive youth of Edo state to allow peace to reign and be rest assured that we shall conduct a free and fair election in the state. I also advice them to conduct themselves, peaceful and to drop the act of fighting and violence.
Well thank you gentlemen for attending this great program on Local Government constitutional Reforms: focus on the Edo state LG Polls of April 20 2013. And we are expectant that the polls will be free and fair as well as peaceful. We thank our viewer in Nigeria and the entire world for staying tuned.

A girl being violated
 
ITV: Mr. Wilson: I thank HE. Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga for honoring our invitation as guest speaker at this debate on Death Penalty on Rape, treasury Looters and Bunkering in the proposed constitutional amendment of the 8th Republic and I welcome other discussants to this program.
H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: I appreciate your invitation as special guest speaker on this program which is a position reserved for peoples of governor’s, senator’s and president’s status and I will be for ever grateful to you for these exaltations…
ITV. Mr. Wilson: His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga , what’s your view on the proposed death penalty on Rape, Treasury looting and Bunkering in the proposed constitutional amendments by the National Assembly of the Nigerian federation.
H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: Our views at SDMP on rape , treasury looters and bunkering in the constitutional amendment is based on constructive approach based on the adamantine laws of nature and retributive justice it is also based on some fundamentals of biblical  Christian and Islamic pattern of ethical resolves of our peoples which is the following: For rape cases we propose jail terms of 10-15 years when a person is convicted of rape , but if the person is convicted of rape with murder of the victim that person should be sentenced to death. On the issue of treasury looting we advocate also jail terms of 10- 15 years for economic saboteurs which includes all fraudsters, bunkers, and treasury looters.
Rev Chris Oniewele: As a pastor I view the case of Rape very heinous because of the trauma it inflicts on the victims all through their life span so I feel that the death penalty on rape being proposed in the constitutional amendment is in place. But the aspects of treasury looters and bunkers stealing money and oil which are economic crimes I suggest jail terms would be sufficient deterrence.
 
ITV Mr. Wilson: His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga please what are your stakes on the fact that armed Robbers are executed in most cases for stealing; are treasury looters and oil thieves different in the degree of sabotage on the polity.
H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: The case of Treasury looting and bunkering are somewhat different from armed robberies and much more complex. In fact the decadence in the general milieu of the society, the fear of falling back into poverty, rejection as well as the worship of money by many peoples are responsible for treasury looting and bunkering. And again there is no provision for extra money for holders of very high offices in Nigeria and when people visit they expect you to give them money. I once visited a governor and speaker of the house of Assembly and I saw long queues of peoples in their offices and I asked what they came for.. The governor and the speaker told me point blanck that they came for solidarity visit which translate to being given cash gifts by the Governor and Speaker. The speaker told me that that is the major reason for treasury looting in Nigeria as not to disappoint the peoples that voted them to power most elected officers plunder the state and government accounts to give to the supporters and big wigs in the society for their continuous support and before you know it billions of Naira deficit is recorded. So because of this we at SDMP advocate for more cash vote and commissions on contracts awarded by governors and elected officers to be paid to them as it is done in the United states of between 3-5 % of all contracts awarded by elected officials is to be given to them. This will bring down treasury looting.
 
Itv ; Mr. Wilson : Rev Chris , please what does the bible say on these crimes of Rape, Treasury looting and bunkering.
Rev Chris Oniewele: In general the old testaments prescribe death penalties on heinous crimes in the society but the new testament is the practice of repentance and forgiveness of sins and we live in the ages of the new testament but as I said earlier there was a case of a man of 45 raping two daughters of a woman in our church. One was 4 years and the other was 7 years old. The mother notice sperms on her daughters any time they visit this neighbor of their and with proper investigation it was revealed that the man was having sex with her two under aged daughters..And this kind of traumatic experiences on the girls could damage them for life..And here I prescribe death penalty as punitive measure for rapist.
H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga: We must be careful about the cases of rape as such some girls and peoples can use it to blackmail other peoples and use it to destroy their career as in the case of the President of world Bank Mr. Strauss recently falsely accused of rape and later found out that it was a set up. Same with the case of His Excellency Bill Clinton in the case of Monica Lewinsky scandal and later found out to be a set up as well. That is why we must be very careful when handling the cases of rape, as it could be a set up and you would end up killing many innocent souls out of set up and false claims This could be a big tool for extortion, blackmail etc of many peoples so if cases are proved of one having sex with another without due consent then it should be resolved with jail terms as punitive or out of court settlement. That is the candid view of our party and a vast majority of Nigerians.
ITV: Mr. Wilson: His Excellency Frank Onaivi Ukonga: the case of Bunkering and oil thieves seems to be alarming and as economic saboteurs are seen to do greater damage on the entire society, don’t you think death punishment as punitive measure and deterrence is in order.
H.E. Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga: Poverty , joblessness, redundancies of skilled and unskilled labor, moral decadence, scavenging, misery, hunger, want, poor health delivery system and much of the social economic ills ravaging the Nigerian and sub Saharan Africa are the major causes of crimes like oil thefts, bunkering, armed robberies, prostitution, kidnapping etc. And to solve these social ills the government has to do more on job creation, empowerment of youth and women in the society, jobs for all, agricultural and industrial revolutions, health for all electricity for all etc, and these are the great thing we promised Nigerians at SDMP when voted into power. And we are convinced that when all these things are in place, the crime rate in the society will reduce including bunkering , treasury looting and even rape cases .And all these greatness and much more are what we at SDMP party promised the Nigerian society and the entire region of Sub Saharan Africa when voted into power..
ITV: Mr Wilson: Thank you His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga and Rev. Chriss Oniewele for joining us at ITV the leading television station of the African continent to discuss on the crucial issues of Rape, treasury looting and bunkering which are international crimes and its solutions as in restitution , punishment and deterrence. We thank all our viewers for joining us in this program.
