MY PHILOSOPHY OF PUBLIC DRIVEN REPRESENTATION By Oba Emelie Okika*
MY PHILOSOPHY OF PUBLIC DRIVEN REPRESENTATION By Oba Emelie Okika*
The popular European Revolution which swept through Europe
in 1848 (see European Revolution) brought with it a supremacy of the
Human Will and the enthronement of the Dignity of Man. This could be
seen by the various Social Contracts in a bid to restore the dignity of
man and preserve the Supreme Human Will.
The most popular of all times, the *Magna Carta 1215,* also
known as "the Great Charter of the Liberties" has been ascribed to by
historians and Political Scientists as the source of the European Spring
(Spring Time of the Peoples) which many observers believed restored
power to the PEOPLE as well as the emergence of the *Parliament* being
the central processing unit for Public Driven Representation.
Magna Carta still forms an important symbol of liberty
today, often cited by politicians and campaigners, and is held in great
respect by the British and American legal communities. No wonder The
legendary English Judge, Lord Denning describing it as "the greatest
constitutional document of all times – *the foundation of the freedom of
the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot".*
My people, the good people of Anaocha, Njikoka and
Dunukofia, we have failed because we have not taken time to pursue our
*Magna Carta* but rather trivialities especially personal and in
extensions premodial assumptions as against civic interests.
Some of these premodial trivialities which are
individualistic and have destroyed our society include collecting money
to endorse a politician, supporting an aspirant because he/she comes
from your clan, community, LGA or religious belief among others. All
these have tremendously affected the substance of good representation
which must be based on character and explainable quality of plans and
programs.
I, Oba Emelie Okika (Agbogidi) may give you money or come
from your clan, community, LGA, religious belief etc. Note, please, do
not vote for me because of these trivialities but vote for me *by the
content of my character and the message of my Magna Carta or Social
Contract with you.*
My message of Magna Carta brothers and sisters is a message
of *Public Driven Representation.* It is a message of liberty and a
message of good representation based on the dignity of man and the
restoration of the supremacy of the Human Will ie the Will of the
People.
Hence, democracy, according to Abraham Lincoln, the 16th
President of the United States is "Government of the people, by the
people and for the people." I have come ladies and gentlemen to champion
the government of the people. A government where the people must drive
the representation. I am not here for myself but for you hence, my Magna
Carta with you.
The difference between my project and that of others is
that I have not come to make campaign promises but, I have come to go
into a Social Contract (Magna Carta) with you which is popularly known
as Public Driven Representation. Hold me responsible for the violation
of this contract.
My people, we cannot continue to be deceived by cheap
political promises that have reduced us to inhuman treatments but
bargain for a social contract which will uphold our Fundamental Human
Rights and the dignity of man.
In Public Driven Representation the constituents are
integral part of the budget planning through numerous inputs. This
opportunity I must grant my constituents to be part of budget planning,
monitoring and participation so as to make sure that *every dime of the
Constituency Allowance and Projects are judiciously spent and executed
in the Constituency.*
The party must be at the fore front of this project as the
party ideology is the vehicle that drives our programs. My manifesto is
based on the party ideology which we must promote for the welfare,
growth and development of our party.
I enjoin you my people, to join me in this mission of being
the first in the country to propagate the *Public Driven
Representation* of social contract as provided in my manifesto for the
growth and development of our Constituency.
Thanks.
*Oba Emelie Okika*
Thanks.
