THREE DAYS TO GOVERNORSHIP/STATE ASSEMBLY ELECTION DAY: RECLAIM ALL THE 28-GOVERNORS’ LODGES IN NIGERIA
By Orefo Nnamdi Onochie
The Hand Writing on the Wall….the Finger of God….the Defeat and Shame of those who oppress the Weak, the Orphans and the Widows in Nigeria. INEC thought that in postponing the next elections of 2023, (the Governorship and State Assembly Elections), that they would buy time to further device new avenues to rig, and to redact the speed of the inevitable electoral revolution and defeats that must take place in Nigeria: it has been fruitless, because all their tricks, gimmicks and shenanigans are being exposed and gathered worse for them, the capacity to defeat them on Saturday, March 18, 2023, in nearly all the major polling units of Nigeria have been fully set. We have proved that BVAS and IREV devices do not need or require any RECONFIGURATIONS.
Shamefully and without recourse to official transparency, they (INEC) rejected public and election observers’ participation to reconfigure or recalibrate these tech devices, that have inbuilt reconfiguration software and applications: we are compelled to ask, “what is INEC hiding in refusing public participation in the RECONFIGURATION of BVAS/IREV devices, openly permitted it by a Court of Law?).
The continued retention of the services of the major INEC officials, Mahmoud Yakubu, Festus Okoye, and the IT Directing and Supervising Staff in Abuja, who “caused the failure of the uploading and collating system”, which will be proven as deliberate crimes, and default, to hide and stop the instant collation of voting figures of the Presidential election, and render the entire process open to manual abuses, tampering, manipulation and influence: that refusal of the Federal Government, to indefinitely suspend these INEC officials, has shown to the public that only the voters can protect the integrity of their votes and franchise. That is the unfinished business of March 18, 2023: all voters must ensure that the BVAS is properly used for accreditation of all voters in each PU, cast votes patriotically, and remain to participate in the vote count, and that the BVAS/IREV are used to upload and transmit the final PU figures to the Central INEC IREV Portal ….then accompany the Electoral Officers to submit Forms EC8A…. to the LGA, and State Offices of INEC for final manual delivery and domiciliation. Ensure also that the poster Form 60E is posted clearly in open space, at any wall(s), at each PU for everyone to see: then remain at the State Offices, with the Party Agents, until the final Declaration of the winners: that is our first unfinished business of March 18, 2023.
WHY NIGERIANS DO NOT TRUST APC AND PDP GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATES
By their seeds you shall know them. See the seeds which the APC and PDP Gubernatorial Candidates have revealed to us: economic hardships, wickedness and suffering. While they and their families are catered for through Government provisions, our families and children go without food, provisions, hope or encouragement. The Naira has become so scarce that nothing can be bought unless by money transfer, or you devalue even the meagre little money you have to get cash – N2,000.00 will get you N1,700.00, while N10,000.00 will get you N7,000.00, a 30% reckless devaluation of your personal money. Why did the FGN not assess fully the impact that the Naira redesign policy will have on the populace? They wish to further PUNISH us…… by their seeds you shall know them. Yet in all this, they expect that we will vote them back in, to continue to sustain our hardships and suffering? They have failed and keep failing in all the critical promises they made to the Nigerian populace: cost of living, keeps rising, one bag of 50kg local rice was N7-8K in 2015, in 2023, it is N35-38K, about 600% increase. Do they expect that with such colossal failure(s), we will vote for their Guber Candidates? No! There is no food item in Nigeria, whose purchase price has remained the same, or got reduced in the last 8-years: 54% nationwide Unemployment, among graduates, the highest in our history: Electricity generation and supply- when the FGN is claiming increased Megawatts supply, our homes, industries and businesses suffer worse black-outs, and our monthly periodic bills triple: in 8-years the APC Federal Government did not build and commission one new electricity generation plant: in 2022, all public Universities in Nigeria were shut for 8-months (1-month for each year that Buhari served as President), because FGN refused to fully fund public education, yet not one Minister resigned, and our Government built a new railway line to Zinder in Niger Republic, which cost double what ASUU demanded: are Nigerians fools? Promise of N1.00 to $1.00 US Dollar forex exchange – today, it is N750.00 to $1.00 US Dollar, with more DEVALUATION already scheduled by the CBN, Banks and FGN: Petrol price rose from N95.00 per liter, to N145.00, and in February 2023 was so scarce the price rose to N500.00 per liter: new Governors to be elected on March 18, 2023, have pledged to their sponsoring god-fathers, to remove petrol subsidy, and then the official price per liter will be about N650-750.00 per liter: on insecurity, Boko Haram has been joined by ISWAP, Fulani herdsmen, Bandits, Unknown Gunmen, Kidnappers, who take hostages/demand ransoms from their Families, taxes from Communities, abductions of Secondary -Primary Schools, Universities, train-bus travelers, force young females from schools into slave-marriages, decapitate Christians in the Middle Belt who refuse conversion to Islam, bombed Catholic Church service in Owo on Sunday June 22, 2022, bomb/maim Muslims in Mosques in several cities in the North; Police brutality against Youths leading to #End SARS in October 2020: RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA gimmicks, yet El-rufai Committee Report has died a natural death, whilst Separatist Agitations to dismember NIGERIA is coagulating to future intensity due to APC FAILURES.
CORRUPTION, BRIBERY, ARROGANCE AND HIGH HANDEDNESS
To assert that it is only greed that propels the actions, conduct and ideologies which APC and PDP leaders harbor, is to be deluded. The genesis of the hardships of the Nigerian populace, stem from the corrupt dispositions of the elite of these two major political parties. For example, some current State Governors sponsor Guber Candidates/Former Speaker(s), who passed more than N300 Billion Loan Applications through the State Assemblies, in less than 30 minutes, even as the General elections were close by – loans for what new purposes, who will pay back the new loans? Now that election time is near, they are junketing around asking for forgiveness, votes and new TRUST from the populace, when the earlier trust granted to them had been squandered? Trust of Governors who BETRAYED the electoral expectations of their Southern kindred; whose words cannot be believed or be trusted by the electorate,even those uttered in the confines of their living room? To whom much was given by way of trust, much more is expected. Indeed, they failed, and cannot be trusted a second time, for once bitten, one cannot get shy again. Only a few days ago, certain Governors seeking for forgiveness and votes for their sponsored Candidate(s), gathered State Civil servants, pleading for votes, and informed them that each would have N10K paid to their Bank accounts: in less than 3-hours, N10K was paid to each civil servant. What bribery, whose money, and when bribed like that, what would you forfeit in future? Since the bribe is from the Treasury, unsolicited, to the People, they will use that money WELL, by voting for that Candidate who is incorruptible and passionate about the suffering of Nigerians.They the party leaders, especially the Governor(s), who sponsored stooges as Candidates, believing themselves to be emperors, very arrogant, very clannish, developing and siting innumerable Institutions, road-drainages-solar Electricity projects and other Government Offices-facilities only in their own villages, while other adjoining towns and Villages get nothing. The day of reckoning, when if you took everything to only your own people, all the other people you abandoned will pay you back by abandoning and not VOTING for your sponsored weak candidate. Should your Candidate be voted in, your footsteps will be taken and followed by that sponsored candidate. The humble and wise will leave you to your arrogance and highhandedness. There will be votes cast on March 18, 2023, and by night time that day, defeat and shame will follow you the Governor, to your new exile and political hibernation, very possibly in Abuja, or beyond.
THE DAY OF REDEMPTION…… FOR THE OPPRESSED IN NIGERIA
No matter the bribes, not withstanding all their efforts, from INEC and the corrupt politicians, to stop the use of BVAS and IREV, to upload counted votes and to collate them, they will be defeated and put to utter shame in nearly all the 28-Governors Lodges, in Nigeria, where the Gubernatorial elections will be held. It is our last unfinished business of the 2023 election circle: the FINAL one will still come from the Supreme Court of Nigeria, on the Presidential election of February 25, 2023, and then real peace, good governance and prosperity will come to our Fatherland, for a good while. We have been tortured and so badly suffered in the last 8-years, that we will not FORGET. This will be the first real good time, on March 18, 2023, that they will learn a very good lesson, that one good turn deserves another. We will VOTE them OUT, and chase them out of town, because we cannot reward their wickedness by voting for them. The State Assemblies will be occupied now by the humble in spirit, passionate to serve the people, not the corruptible sponsored candidates, out to cheat, deceive and steal from the public Treasury. The count down has begun …… and they cannot hold back the hand of time!
LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!
