THE CONUNDRUM FOR PARTIES DIRECT PRIMARIES"CLIFF DBOSS"

Nigeria Democratic system,has been flaws over the years. due to,the inept attitude of the political players whose parochial formations,is to use their illed gotten Wealth to buy the moral and electoral conscience of the masses.politics however,has become a tools used by the disgruntled political element to impoverished the masses by steeling our common wealth.politics,has been played in such a way that politicians,are now been regarded as personalities that are often dishonest,awful,distrustful,and obnoxious set of personalities whose only sole interest is to achieve a premodial objectives.what is happening in our political terrain,is unastonishingly planed by the political actors who hav vowed to always have their ways irrespective of the peoples feelings and wellbeing.politics,is a systematic game.what is however significant of this game,is that,politics must be played with human face devoid of self centeredness and irresponsible displays of illed gotten wealth to lure the electorates to their Kitty.now back to the main topic that centres on the direct mode of primaries to be forced to all the political parties. This is unacceptable.national assemblies who claimed to be working for the overall interest of the various constituency yet,going against the general wish of the people.all in a pursuit to favor their political paymaster or perhaps,godfather. The issues regarding direct mode of primaries,is an electoral laws that can never stand in any modern democracy. REASONS BEEN THAT: (1)IT LACK FAIR CORRESPONDENCY:THIS factor is fantastically vivid to the Nigerian populace.direct primaries can not create a fair play in chosen party candidate to stand for national elections.this process will be hijack by the desperate political actors to boots their presidential ambitions.at least,we saw what happened at the Anambra state apc governorship primaries.How a sitting governor sat in the confort of his hotel room to declare a certain candidate winner of the primaries which never reflect the outcome of the main election.it becomes glaringly obvious,if a primaries that involved using party delegates that did not amount upto five thousand people can be manipulated to favour a particular presidential aspirant,how much more what will become of a direct primaries that entails millions of party members?what this means,Someone will unapologetically seat somewhere and concout or doctored all the result to create room for his candidate to emerge winners. (2)INEC INABILITY TO MONITOR DIRECT PRIMARIES: This is another challenges occasioned by direct mode of primaries.as we all know,INEC is having an issues with shortage of adhoc staffers to carry out this exercise.during the national election,we all saw how INEC recruited corp members in carrying out the exercise.some of this corp members are properly untrained,unintelligent,and corrupt to carryout this exercise. (3)VOTE BUYING:VOTE buying,has become a norm that has come to stay in our electoral votes.Those who claimed delegate or indirect primaries gives an adequate allowance for the state governors to hav their ways,is not in tandem with the political realities.direct primaries will create room for plutocracy.what this means,the poor ones will find it extremely difficult to get to any elective position in governance due to their inability to buy the conscience of the electorates with money.what this stands for,the highest bidder,will always hav his way.lagos state government,is highly prepared for this political adventures to enable their godfather emerge at the direct primaries.look,is difficult to buy delegates for the indirect primaries.which entails bribing the delegates.but some of this delegates,knows whom they are loyal to.their unalloyed loyalty to their political masters,is immeasurable.but that of the direct mode of primaries,the affluent aspirant,can easily buy the gullible party members with just five thousand naira to cast their vote for them.direct primaries can never give power to the people rather,it will destroy a good chances for the unafluent politicians to win primaries. (4)DIRECT PRIMARIES IS CRISIS RADDEN:Direct primaries will be very difficult to manage.the amount of crisis that will marr direct primaries,will be enormous.our political actors,are desperate political entities who oftentimes love things to go their favor.and if it does otherwise,they create an atmosphere for violence just to get their ways to power.how many police personel that can protect our votes and create relatively peaceful atmosphere for the direct primaries? (4)DIRECT PRIMARIES WILL ENSLAVED THE SOUTH: IF We evidently and properly look at the demographic numbers of the voting strength in our elections,we will therefore understand that the north,hav an edge over the south and hav the power to determine who governs nig.The issues of zooning presidency,will become a mirage because,the north will retain power since they hav the power to produce who becomes the party candidate during direct primaries.but that of the indirect primaries,it goes by the delegate which cut across the 36 states of the federating unit.it becomes more fair to the system.going through direct primaries will surely enslaved the south from the presidency.any southern politicians pushing for a direct mode of primaries,is wicked and selfish.we must not leave a legacy that will haunt the next generation and keep them on perpetual political bondage. (5)THE ELECTORAL BILL AMENDMENT,MUST ELIMINATE THE CLAUSE FOR DIRECT PRIMARIES AND BE TRANSMITTED BACK TO THE PRESIDENT FOR ASSENT: The electoral bill,is a very good bill that will strengthen our electoral system and somewhat,elimated the flaws in the polity which is characterized with some electoral malfeasance,and some forms of stargerred elections. The national assemblies who are working for the national leader of apc,think they are smart to hav smuggled that clause into the fantastic electoral act,to enable Tinubu hav an easy ride winning the apc primaries since he is so afraid of conducting a primaries that will carry an indirect forms which will marr his unconstitutiona 53 Local govt he personally created instead of the recognized 23 local govt by the federal govt. Those lawmakers who has been gullible to this antics,can not still win their senatorial zones in going with any direct mode of contest with their respective sitting governors.how much do they hav to buy votes from the party members against their governors?why are they pushing for direct primaries?who do we think the direct mode of primaries will favor?why is that clause so difficult for the national assemblies to remove?who are they working for?why do they want to override the president if they are working for the people if not for the apc national leader?why are the so called bought CSO not demanding for the clause for direct primaries to be removed?why is the clause so significant to the law makers more than every other important clause in the amendment bill?what do they wish to achieve if the said bill is been vetoed by them if not for the interest of tinubu presidential agenda? We must not work against our self just for selfish interest of a single person.we must critically look at the benefit of that direct primaries to the south.we must understand that what ever mistake made now constitutionally,will be difficult to amend in the nearest future if it favours the north.let's call a spade a spade and do the right thing that will glorify God.
