9, 000 Voters in Ogbaru disenfrachized by INEC , Inter Party Advisory Council raises Alarm

www.odogwublog.com reports that the Inter Party Advisory Council has called on INEC not to disenfranchise Ogbaru people

Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), the umbrella body for all the registered Political Parties in Nigeria, Anambra state chapter, congratulates the Nigerian electorates, the government at every level and the International Community at large for the support and encouragement given to the Nigerian people since the inception of this Republic in 1999.

In spite of the various challenges we have encountered since 1999, our people have demonstrated uncommon faith in democratic governance and indeed have accepted it as a better way of distributing common wealth and developing the society.

The security challenge presented by the Boko Haram sect has equally threatened the foundation of our existence as a people. Since the end of the civil war in 1970, no upheaval, religious or otherwise, has claimed the number of human lives and rendered people homeless and jobless as this scourge. IPAC is on the side of the Government at every level on the fight against this in- human, callous, Satanic and  barbaric siege on our people by this agents of death because no society can experience meaningful development in the absence of peace.

We are also very happy with the leadership of the Nigerian judicial council as a partner in this democratic journey and progress recorded so far. However, a situation where people are granted all manners of pleas and injunctions by our courts at different levels must be looked into by the council before the confidence reposed in the judiciary is eroded completely.

In view of the development in our polity whereby our courts have become partners in judicial merchandising particularly in Anambra State. After a very crucial meeting to analyze the going on in the political terrain of the State, IPAC resolved to make the followings known to Nigerians

I.       The IPAC hereby call on the Nigeria judicial council (NJC) to beam their searchlight  on those courts involved in frivolous orders and judgments with a view to nip in the bud those nefarious activities.

II.     The political party is the husband man with all the inherent powers to nominate, elect and appoint persons to vie for elective positions on their plat forms and not any third party as it is very clearly explained in the electoral act.

III.  That IPAC Anambra State chapter is totally aligned with the position of the National working committee (NWC) of Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP) on who becomes their candidate(s) in the Anambra State upcoming 2015 general Elections.

IV. That IPAC Anambra State chapter condemns the activities of some selfish and over ambitious individuals whose stock in trade is to project our dear state for the wrong reason. Be that as it may, IPAC Anambra State chapter appreciates the Anambra State House of Assembly for making this a criminal offence for those who are not shortlisted by the third party to parade themselves as candidates. However, no one becomes a judge in his own case.

V.    IPAC is using this medium to salute president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR on his courage and refusal to succumb to the rumored pressure on him to postpone the schedule Feb, 14^th and 28^th  2015 general Elections.

VI. IPAC also commends the President for showing transparency in economic management as regards the historic reduction of fuel price which has now seen Nigerians smiling to the filling stations.

VII. Every Nigerian is hereby encourage to ensure that he/she collects his/her permanent voters card  (PVC) to be able to participate in the forthcoming elections, moreso now that INEC has extended the issuance of PVC date to 08/02/15.

VIII.    The IPAC is using this opportunity to call on the new Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner to ensure that the people of Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State whose about 9000 PVC were stolen in the course of the distribution exercise by the INEC staff according to his Predecessor (Prof. Pastor Onukaogu) are not disenfranchised for a fault that is not theirs.

IX.           IPAC, Anambra State chapter enjoins the good people of the State and indeed Nigerians at home and in diaspora to continue to workhard as they partners with IPAC to protect and nurture this hard earned democracy.

Signed:

Hon. Sir Bartho Igwedibia J.P                                 Prince Isaac Onuka

             (Chairman)                                                                   (Secretary)

Comrade Sir Peter Okala
