FRANK UKONGA LECTURE 101: THE ROLE OF OPPOSITION “GOVERNMENT’ IN A DEMOCRATIC DISPENSATION: FOCUS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM VS PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION. COST OF FUNDING ELECTIONS,POST ELECTION VIOLENCE & CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS


H.E. Prince frank ukonga speaking to the Media in a function recently

FRANK UKONGA LECTURE 101: THE ROLE OF OPPOSITION “GOVERNMENT " IN A DEMOCRATIC DISPENSATION: FOCUS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM VS PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION. COST OF FUNDING ELECTIONS, POST ELECTION VIOLENCE & CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
In any election the world over winners emerge to form De facto, De Jure governments and the rest who participated in the elections are supposed to form the alternative “ Opposition government” addressed to generate alternative ideas to excite the polity from dulling up into stagnation, death, and decay. To guide against the situation of shiftlessness and arrested animation.
On the other hand the winner is expected to form a government if the post is an Executive dispensation while his runner ups in the election have two alternatives either to form a Union Government with him and co- govern together or perhaps remain in opposition addressed to generate and contribute to the process of governance through constructive criticism from the outside.
This is also applicable to other elective offices, be it Senatorial position, House of Representative, House of Assembly or in the Local Governments and councilpersons as well. The winner in a Legislative office has as well two alternatives either to carry the opposition ‘losers’ along or either to go it alone and allow the losers to form a vibrant opposition to his office as regard positive criticism of his Representation from time to time.
According to Franz Fanon and Antonio Gramsci [two great intelligentsia of Latin America]… they theorized that "Every Government that comes to power comes with a crop of intelligentsia addressed to giving meanings, interpretations, and homogeneity to its policies, activities, and stratagems....." And that is exactly the role of opposition in a democratic dispensation albeit reactionary and perhaps conversely.
This explanation has become necessary to espouse the fundamental principles of Governance in Nigeria in order to put the record straight, which is, in ideal terms, there are neither winners nor losers in an election. Once INEC or the Electoral College of a sovereignty shortlist your name as a qualified candidate for an election, any of the shortlisted candidates could emerge as the winner or so-called loser but they are expected to work together either in coalition or perhaps in establishing opposition to jockey the process of governance of the polity to a desired standard practice of social, industrial and economic prosperity. And that is the beauty of democracy.
In the Nigeria context the opposition seems to fizzle out after an election and only a pastry of them are vocal and this is abysmal; while some will decamp[ cross- carpet] to the winner’s party just to be able to make some money through patronage and to be relevant. These are the majority practice in Nigeria and in some parts of the Third World were party ideology and disciplines are mundane, pedantic and primordial.
Secondly, it is pertinent to note, that the streams of consciousness of the elected officers in government, as well as the majority of the mundane electorates, feel that the opposition is unnecessarily ‘disturbing’ the elected officers out of jealousy and unnecessary distraction of attention. This is an erroneous, obscurantist and parochial view of the holistic picture of any Democratic exercise.
Whence the government in power, all elected officers and the electorates are expected to welcome criticism from the corresponding contestants for an elective post after the election and for the duration of the mandate. It is like a jointly owned mandate between the winner and the loser, one inside the government, with a corresponding partner/ runner ups outside the government.
Note that the elected official has a choice of either carrying other so-called ‘losers’ along by offering an olive branch of power shearing arrangements or to go it alone allowing the losers to form a vibrant opposition outside his mandate.
So the idea that Lagbaja or Shehu or Tamadun or Emeka lost out in an election does not mean he should go and sleep and keep quiet until the next election. The two sides are both winners but one is inside and the others are outside, that is how it works. It is a great beauty, built on the theory of attrition of opposite forces grinding and sharpening each other; like two hands clapping loudly or two hands washing each other clean. I have never heard of one hand clapping. Nor one hand washing clean. It is unnatural, unscientific and undemocratic and hence UNGODLY.
Furthermore it is imperative to counsel at this juncture those in power to accommodate criticism in good faith as that is exactly the purpose and beauty of democracy; otherwise it becomes autocracy or totalitarian demagoguery…if they begin to view criticism in bad faith as in trying to cow the opposition by various acts of commissions, omissions, and strange tragedies.
In some countries with  well developed democratic experience, members of the opposition create NGO’s, pressure and lobby groups addressed to contribute to the developments of various aspects of Nation-building of the polity and even the government of the day and companies, government agencies do support such establishments formed by the opposition morally and financially if they find it relevant and rightly guided in its contribution to the development of the polity.
  PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM vs PR-PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION:
- R& D CASE STUDY-2011 APRIL POLLS IN NIGERIA
About 9,863 candidates participated in the 2011 April polls in Nigeria with Lagos state having 645 candidates as highest, kano with with 432 as second,Delta with 416 candidates, Anambra with 409, Oyo with 405, Sokoto with 389, Rivers 389,Imo 360, Ogun 332, Enugu with 318 as the top ten  leading states participation. While Jigawa 205, Plateau 205, Niger 195, Taraba 182, Cross Rivers 172, Nasarawa 153 Gombe 151, Edo 150, Yobe 132, fct 74 as top ten lowest participants in the states category.
COST OF FUNDING ELECTIONS & PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION: 
There is no state that cannot absorb in a participatory context the number of candidates that participated in the various elections in an all-inclusive culture as in Proportional Representation Electoral System as analyzed above; though this is not written in the constitution, Prof Uwabieze an erudite legal practitioner has told us that a lot of traditions will evolve around a democratic dispensation when it begins to grow and these traditions somewhat becomes as powerful as the constitutions . So instead of being at daggers drawn with each other after an election and the huge expense that a candidate must spend to participate in an election when he looses who bears the cost…is he or she expected to just take it as faith and go, be scavenging…many people take loans, sell houses, properties, stock shares and really go broke to fund elections but after if they lose what traditions are we going to begin to adopt so that the aspects of contesting will continue to be attractive to the electorate and will not be a do or die issue in terms of winning. When there is a tradition where the opposition is assimilated in the various boards, parastatals and participating with dignity and self respect of not necessarily decamping and humiliating himself them the issue of elections will become attractive, less violent, inexpensive and brotherly as there is a tradition of comradeship and sharing of power with beauty and gaiety of each other's emblems..
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS: PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM VS PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION: 
A number of intelligentsia and Politicians want constitutional amendments to accommodate the issue of Proportional Representations to ameliorate the issue of winner takes all, accommodate the opposition in the states and National Assemblies through the system of PR. The presidential system is seen as self centered, parochial on winner takes all, too expensive in the context of the cost of funding elections, time frame for mandates which is seen in many quarters as too short for any meaningful achievement, lack of continuity of Governance and policy thrust which keep changing like quicksilver thereby endanger solid economic and industrial progress.. ,election violence, killings, arson, bombing and all the ills of elections. A solution to this is the all-inclusive tradition of Proportional Representation so that both the winners and the losers can see themselves as one and be absorbed into the schemes of things as a participant without selling their self-pride..
The PR- Proportional Representation Electoral system accommodates all political parties/ Tribes in the growth process of the polity and gives them room to be represented in the decision making processes of the various states and National Assembly. If the constitution could be tinkered with to accommodate Proportional Representation it would ameliorate the do or die election mentality and rebuild voters interest in the electoral process, curb violence and malpractices during elections and once this tradition gains ground then our democratic dispensation will become cheaper, less violent, no more do or die issue and the country will progress as a united entity rapidly.
Whence we should endeavor to practice an inclusive form of Democracy if really we are truly committed to building a virile democratic dispensation in Nigeria. We could appreciate each other's ideological positions and work together without necessarily decamping to the winner’s party, nor mortgaging our consciences, pride, being and essence. And this will help to strengthen the concept of multi-party democracy that we are practicing.

World News: 2019 Presidential Election: Focus on Foreign Policy Thrust: H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga A Presidential Aspirant  unveil  “THE MARSHAL PLAN”  to take Nigeria, Africa & the Black Race to the promise land of Progress & Prosperity -To Create a Civilization second to none in the entire Affairs of the Human Race of all Times.
 Fellow compatriot of the world, Nigeria is the most populous country of the Black Race and the greatest Nation of the Black Race. Nigeria is the third largest Democracy of the Universe. Our Marshal plan is to make her greater to take her rightful place in the committee of Nations on a global interpretation. To be the melting point and great pride of all Black peoples of the world and a role model for all Nations of the world. And when Nigeria is economically, technologically and agriculturally strong she would be able to support other Nations of the world.
The population of the Black Race is the least among other Races of the world, just about 1.5 billion peoples which is just about the population of China…the Yellow Race of Asia is above 5 billion peoples while the white race is above 6 billion peoples. Whence the Black race is becoming an endangered species in the context of demography on a Racial perspective…and yet the Black Race is the poorest and least developed among the three majour Races of the globe…..due to the tripartite tragedy of the anti bellum trade of slavery, colonization and imperialism and the notorious triangular enterprise that gave Black exploitation its universality which subsequently underdeveloped the Black Race..…where more than 500 million Black peoples were forcefully removed from the soils of Africa to be used as the beast of burden to slave and build the great glories and civilizations of London, New York, Paris, Lisbon, Madrid, Brussels, Bones Aries, Bogota etal with impunity…
WEB Du Bois the greatest African American intelligentsia improvised that the struggles of the 20th and the 21st century Mankind would be the struggles of the colour line: between the White, Yellow and Black Races of the world to assert their dominance and significance on a global basis and this is manifesting today..  Whence the clarion call for the Renaissance of the Black Race to begin to take her rightful place in the committee of Nations is timely…
Nigeria being the most populous Nation of the Black Race all eyes are on her that if any significant progress would come from the Black Race that would have a monumental global impact it should naturally come from Nigeria…which would serve as a role model to re awaking all aspects of progress for the Black Race globally and other peoples of the world
It is in view of the truism of this theory of WEB Du Bois, which is truth, self evident that we offer the following observations:
1] The Renaissance of the Black Race in particular Africa would be the center focus of our foreign policy thrust
2] Transfer of Technology and Investments: That the colonialist and the imperialist underdeveloped Africa and their genuine support would be required to rebuild Africa and all Africans to their rightful position. In this context we shall seek the transfer of technology via relocation of plants and industries in the soils and Nations of Africa through FDI, grants, loans, entrepreneurial and technical support to rebuild the African continent which would enrich the entire globe as in a new round of global boom of ROI-Return on Investments for the global Actors- from the Malthusian Dissertations perspectives.
3] Relief on Debt Burden: Africa has become a net exporter of capital to the tune of $ 600 billion dollars annually due to unequal trade Relations and sharp practices in the pricing of goods and commodities exported by African countries to the developed world… we shall pursue a policy thrust that would balance this anomaly and work with WTO, EEC and the BRICS to evolve a better trading platform in the context of trading currencies and harp on the re evaluation of trading instruments to reflects the new global pluralism. And if need arise we shall re introduce the era of trade by barter and avoid paper money -from the Aristotelian point of view.
4] Atmosphere for Business and Investment to Thrive: Peace is needed for any Country or Nation to progress. We shall need the support of the global actors to establish a long lasting peace in the African continent as in the context of terrorism, inter tribal wars etc..We shall pursue a policy thrust that would establish peace and congenial atmosphere in the context of pro active security initiatives in partnership with global actors.
5] Diplomatic and Economic Reciprocity: Our foreign policy thrust would be hinged on the aspects of Diplomatic and Economic Reciprocities.. With a paradigm shift to accommodate and harness our potentials in Africa by invigorating cooperation among countries of the ECOWAS sub region and all other countries of the African continents in the context of trade, Education, technology transfer etal.
6] Tans Saharan Oil and Gas pipelines: We shall implement the President Yar Adua’s dream project of the Trans European/ Trans Saharan Oil and Gas pipeline to deliver our crude and gas to our customers in Europe and Asia. In this context we shall cooperate with other Oils and gas producing countries of Africa and the world. This would improve our GNP to more than triple by 2024 as target date of project completion.
7] Trans African Rail and Highway: We shall cooperate with other African countries to build a modern Highway and Rail system that would connect all African countries..This would galvanize trade and economic prosperity of all African countries to multiple, would create jobs and bring prosperity to all..
8] Sports, Culture, Education, Tourism, Travels, Transportation, Aviation and Shipping: We shall cooperate vigorously with all countries of the world to promote sports, culture, Education and Tourism and this would be to the benefits of both countries and would be based on our policy thrust of reciprocity.. In the Aviation sector the National Airways would be the flag ship of our Air Transport while the Nigeria Ocean lines/ fleets Sea way ships and vessels would be reintroduced to carry the Nigerian flag to all parts of the world…we shall harness  the over $2 trillion dollars global Ocean transportation of the Atlantic, Indian and pacific realms. This would improve our GNP to more than double in a portable distance of history…
9] Agricultural Revolution: we shall partner with many Nations of the world in our policy thrust of Agricultural Revolution…here we shall introduce large scale mechanized farming with a view to produce to feed all citizens of the country and export surplus… Accelerated Drive would also be given to produce cash crops for exports.
10] Climatic change, Global Security Challenges and Detente: The issue of climatic change is real, due to human effects of emissions of toxic gasses and substances. We shall cooperate with all countries of the world to make the globe a better and safer place for all…We shall do same to contemporary security challenges of the world with a view to establish sustainable global peace and détente.
Conclusion: The above represent key points of our foreign policy thrust if voted into power addressed to enrich the country, the African continent and the global village. We appeal to all and sundry to embrace our sincerity and genuine commitments to contribute our quota to the emergence of a more prosperous Nigeria, a more prosperous Africa and the global Village in generality…And to God be the glory.
