Summary:
President Olusegun Obasanjo has vowed that his governement will not accept any form of misbehaviour from those planning to disrupt the smooth running of the forthcoming elections, because of their disqualification by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He commended the INEC (Independent Electoral Commission) for their role in filtering out elegible candidates from the candidates'list. President Obasanjo has assured Nigerians that April elections would go ahead as planned. He also requested for the assistance of the general public not to support or part-take in any form of evil schemes planned by selfish individuals and corrupt politicians whom he said, " want power by any means necessary".
Issues:
It is now clear that due to the court rule on AC (Action Congress), PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) might have an edge over most other parties. It seems to me that in Nigerian politics, success is mainly about the destruction of other parties and the raise of one's party. If eventually AC is dis-allowed to part-take in the forth coming election, then PDP stands a chance of retaining presidency.
Significance of issue:
The battle fought by AC has now gotten to a point whereby only the court and INEC can make final decission(s). Even if AC is dis-allowed from part-taking in April 2007 election, they have in many ways influence the politics of Nigeria. Many people are now politically conscious and legal ways of tackling political issues have being unleashed. Tese and several archievements of AC makes them my best political party in Nigerian history.
