IN NIGERIA UNBORN BABIES WILL ASPIRE TO BECOME POLITICIANS!

When the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announced that a total of NINETY-ONE (91), Political Parties had been registered and would be eligible to field candidates in the up- coming 2019 General Elections, many Nigerians were jostled not only by the sheer ludicrous figure but that an extant law was in place to back up the absurdity that the electoral umpire should maintain a template for associations to metamorphose into political parties without hassles!
Political jobbers whose livelihood depended solely on the game of politics were quick to rejoice and chorus: "The more, the merrier," Ninety- one political parties would create job opportunities for thousands in the labour market, from the grassroot 774 Local Governments - where Councillors and Chairmen would emerge; 36 State Assemblies that would produce scores of legislators; 36 State Governors and their Deputies, with a retinue of commissioners, special advisers/assistants and compliments of office staff; the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Minister and Minister of State, and their cabinet, which enjoys the status of a State Government; the National Assembly (NASS), of 109 Senators and 360 Members of the House of Representatives (comprising the federal legislators), with staff in their Districts and Constituencies across the six geo-political zones of the nation; and finally, the Presidency, which is the apex/executive arm of government at the Federal level, which represents the engine room of the entire political architecture of the nation!
The women are vigorously encouraging their wards to go for politics since football has lost its flavour!

According to INEC's Chairman during a press conference on update of the body's implementation of activities for the 2019 polls, in Abuja on Friday, 26th October, 2018, he disclosed that the forms and the particulars of the political parties nominated candidates had been published at its offices across the nation, for members of the public to raise their claims and objections and make informed decisions during elections.
The list included personal particulars of candidates that emerged from party primaries for presidential and National Assembly elections from 10th to 18th October, 2018.
INEC Chairman also said' "Any person with reasonable ground to believe that any information on Form CFOO1, submitted by a candidate contains incorrect or false claims is at liberty to file an action against such candidate. This can be filed at the Federal High Court or the High Court of a State or the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)."
For the Presidency of ONLY ONE CANDIDATE: 79 Political Parties have submitted names of their candidates, prominent among them are the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling All Progressive Party (APC), and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)!
The NASS of 109  Senators has attracted 1,856 nominations and;
House Representatives will grapple with 4,496 nominations for the 360 seats, totalling 6352, all together!
The current exercise, according to INEC, is limited to candidates for Presidential and NASS elections while that of personal particulars of those contesting in Governorship and State Assembly elections will be similarly published on 9th November, 2018, one week after submission of nominations by political parties, while the  Register of Voters for each polling unit would be displayed at the units nationwide for one week from 6th to 12th November, 2018, for claims and objections, identification of ineligible or deceased persons, and correction of misspellings of personal details such as names, age, and gender.

THE 8TH NASS LEGISLATORS WILL ACCOUNT TO POSTERITY!
The hurriedly-amended 2010 Electoral Act has failed again to restrict the registration of political parties to a manageable proportion in view of the cumbersome process faced by the Electorate at the polls to identify Party Names and Logos, even when they were less than 30, and cancellation of ballot papers became INEC'S pastime as thousands of voters were disenfranchised!
No one is left in doubt that these present crop of legislators lacked attributes of patriotism and selflessness in the discharge of their constitutional duties because all they had achieved in almost FOUR YEARS of oversight functions was to take undue advantage of their undeserved positions to acquire illegal wealth at the expense of the poor masses whom they claimed to represent!
When their plan to change the sequence of the 2019 Elections to favour them failed, they resorted to massive defections to heat up the polity and destabilize the ruling party.
It is very glaring that they never had any plan to serve the people but to loot the treasury which is under lock and key inside the stronghold of the TREASURY SINGLE ACCOUNT (TSA), introduced by the Buhari Administration from inception on 29th May, 2015!
And since they could not STEAL as they had planned, they decided for a SHOWDOWN to cause commotion and confusion in the system! As at the time of this publication on Sunday 28th October, 2018, both the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who had defected to the opposition PDP, but still held firmly to their top positions and have dared any move of impeachment against them by claiming that the 1999 Constitution did not stipulate that minority opposition principal officers could not head the Parliament of a ruling party with majority members in both chambers!

PDP MEMBERS ARE NOT SORRY AT ALL!
Ahead of the 2019 General Elections, PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus on Monday 26th March, 2018, "apologized" to Nigerians and requested them to overlook its party's past mistakes and also "begged" for another chance to rule the nation at the Federal level! The public apology was tendered during a public discourse on "Contemporary Politics and Governance in Nigeria", organized to re-brand the drowning party. Secondus, said as follows: "We are sorry, we have made several mistakes which will not happen again. In the past, there were impunity and imposition, we are not the spirit, we have to be humble to apologize for imposition, impunity and other wrongdoings while in government, THERE WAS NO NEPOTISM, BUT TODAY NEPOTISM HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL BY THIS GOVERNMENT OF APC. We have to stand before the people and apologize. We made mistakes. UNLIKE APC THAT WILL LIE AND USE ANOTHER LIE TO COVER IT, we will apologize for our past mistakes. We are human that are bound to make mistakes. etc.
IT IS ON MARBLE THAT EX-PRESIDENT EBELE JONATHAN ONCE SAID THAT STEALING WAS NOT TANTAMOUNT TO CORRUPTION!
PDP can no longer stand alone as a party except in alliance and coalition with other mushroom parties and also solicit the support of ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, the "KING MAKER" who foisted Atiku Abubakar on them as Presidential candidate!
PDP has never stopped to peddle lies that it bequeathed a buoyant economy to the APC  in 2015, though the nation went into recession through their mismanagement but recovered as soon as APC's Economic Management Team of experts took over and charted a new course with purposeful expertise.
Festus Keyamo (SAN), the Director of Buhari Campaign Organisation, recently said on Channels Television that Nigeria has the best-performing economy in Nigeria.

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS SUBSIDY SCAM!
On Monday, 15th October, 2018, Keyamo accused PDP bigwigs of SUBSIDY SCAM and said: "I need to remind Nigerians about the GDP growth. Of the 11 countries that went into recession around the world, Nigeria has exceeded all of them in terms of GDP growth. None of them crossed 1.4 to 1.5%; Nigeria is doing close to 2% GDP growth right now. Let us get one thing clear, FORBES AFRICA has rated Nigeria as the best-performing economy in Africa under the APC Change Administration!
He denied claims that PMB-led Administration was not paying subsidy like PDP did, but admitted that FG was only paying "PREMIUM". "What happened under PDP Government was that they were paying for products that did not land at all. That was the scam that was happening, it was fraud, the greatest stealing in the history of this country happened under them. All the PDP big wigs were all involved in this subsidy scam, then you saw that many of them refunded money. Like I said, they were paying for product that did not land at all, they will tell you they have brought product and you have to pay subsidy on those products. The NNPC officials knew, everybody knew that the products did not come at all."

PDP IS UNREPENTANT AS IT SUPPORTS SARAKI AND DOGARA TO DESTABILIZE THE POLITY!
Nigeria's National Assembly (NASS), embarked on another TWO-WEEK recess on Friday 19th October, 2018, barely two-weeks of resumption from about TWO-AND-A-HALF-MONTHS of imposed holidays to avoid the risk of impeachment of the two topmost principal officers, 'Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara respectively for  defecting to the main opposition party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), without vacating their exalted positions which they surreptitiously acquired through the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), ruling party in 2015!
Before resumption of the last plenary on Tuesday 9th October, 2018, the Senate Majority Leader and well-meaning Nigerians counselled the two PDP rebels to gracefully relinquish their positions like Senator Godswill Akpabio who resigned his post as Minority Leader did, when he defected to the APC, but it was to no avail since they had lost all political clout because of their bad antecedent as "coupists" against APC's Party supremacy during NASS inauguration of 9th June, 2015! Are they not fully supported by the PDP which no longer enjoyed patronage from any public quarters except among unfettered looters of the treasury who were yet to make RESTITUTION?
The hand of the LAW is very long and the determined APC Administration would not be intimidated until all criminal politicians are brought to book according to the LAW!
