Quite a new development; and He's calling for other Political parties to boycott; asking for the Senate President to assume power:
According to him, “The only reason to take is to abort the rest of the electoral process. On May 29, 2007, the Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani should take over and after the six months, a new Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) boss be appointed to conduct the elections,”
Utomi called on other opposition parties’ presidential candidates to pull out from the race, saying it made no sense to continue with the remaining process.
He pointed finger of guilt at the Federal Government, accusing it of making a mockery of the electoral system.
Lets see what happens next.

Polls: Workers May Embark on Strike
The Nigerian workers present at the experts meeting of the 5th session of the Labour and Social Affairs Commission have decided to abandon the meeting for home following the announcement of the election results by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The workers, led by Trade Union Congress (TUC) President General and President, Petroleum & Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), Peter Esele, and the Deputy President, Nigeria Labour Congress, Onikoliese Irabor, expressed displeasure particularly with the Edo State gubernatorial result which was reportedly given to the People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate. They claimed that it was theft of the people's mandate.

Pat Utomi For President In 2007
To UTOMI CAMPAIGN TEAM:
I hope you hav taken time to read through all d posts, comments and thread on this UTOMI the President topic, and well as other similar posts.
As of today, we have approx ELEVEN days to Presidential Election. I beleive something can still be done to enhance UTOMI's visibility.
For those of us who believe that UTOMI can deliver should all come out on that day to cast our voters, and wait while it's computed.
I keep saying it, we NIGERIANS are the only ones to ensure that there's no rigging, no touting, not even the police-riggers shld be allowed to mess up our votes.
We lost June12 bcx we were not ready to stand up for what we believe.
We lost 2003 for the same reason, bcx we were non-chalant.
Now, are we going to sit down and allow another 4 to 8 years of failed promises.
I daresay, let explain to our family, friends, acquaintances, partners on why UTOMI shld be OUR next president.
When we believe in something, we shld be able to make sacrifices for it.
OUR National cake will come to us INDIVIDUALLY when we get out there, tell our friends & family, VOTE and make sure the right person becomes d President, then THINGS will work well, and then we shall all enjoy this country!
I believe!
Do you?

PTDF; the remix!
Suddenly, it just occured to me . . .
Maybe the Senators & House of Rep members may not want to deliberate more on this PTDF shakara, should in-case any of them is personally implicated or worse, indicted.
Perhaps, it's not for this administration to further the PTDF issue; that could be why they have all scuttled away until after the crucial election.
Come May 29, when we would have "untainted" (in quotes) Senate & House of Rep members, then maybe, Nigerians will hear the true story.
And your guess is as good as mine, the Immunity Clause and the Interfering Power-of-Incumbency wont shield some "importantly, notorious" kingpins by then.
Na wa oh! Naija is changing for Good oh!

Your Vote is Your MIGHT!
I agree with you that we should vote for INDIVIDUALS.
BUT,
Shld we vote for certain individuals who are being surrounded by the same corrupt PDP kingpins?
It's unfortunate that most of the prominent players are either current or ex- PDP members.
Possibly, there are still some other aspirants who ARE NOT of the PDP blood. We hav to identify such individuals based on their Personality & QUALITIES, not based on Party-backbone.
We shld look for CHANGE!

It's interesting that some of us see absolutely nothing WRONG with PDP.
From the very onset, when they emerged we thought that they were here for good, but they kept letting us down from one level to the other.
What's d essence of having more than one political party if we don't try out other ideologies?
I am of the opinion that Nigeria should allow PDP "rest" for at least 4 years; by allowing another "party" in there; then compare and contrast. Just 4 years!
It is not an issue of trial and error. Other developed countries didnt manufacture steady, progressive governance out of the blues; they went through trials, challenges, changes, modifications before getting to where they are today.
My People, PDP needs to go on Compulsory leave. Nothing good, I must say, can come out of PDP at this point in time, bcx the people in the party will always remain corrupt, and will continue influencing whoever is "selected".
Didnt PDP party stalwarts confess to rigging in Anambra? What was done to them?
Didnt another PDP top-shot "steal" INEC voter's registration computers at his house?
The Impeached Guvnors, which party "own" them?
Controversial guvnors; what's their party?
Man, we really gotta SHINE our eyes oh!

I'm totally against the Senate for playing cold feet at this crucial point in time.
The Committee Members, through their attempted resignation showed that CHANGE is indeed coming to PLAY!
OBJ and his cohorts know that his game is UP, so they want to drag-foot this new development until after RIGGING PDP into d Presidency in April, so as to HELP cover their track; unfortunately, the Senate seems to be playing to the gallery.
Any PDP apologist, member or ex-member MUST NOT get to Aso ROCK!
PDP has to GO! PDP have shown times-without-number that their own CORRUPTION style in on ANOTHER LEVEL, "Mammothic?"!
PDP is Desperate, very very DESPERATE. So desperate that he has to get his boy UMARU into power at ALL COST (do-or-I-die), possibly for more cover-up acts.
With all these FORWARD, BACKWARD Indictment and Counter-Indictments; will any sensible, honourable, respectable person want to cast his VOTE for PDP presidency again?
It is no more Corruption-As-Usual.
We want a Different type of person in there!
CHANGE, indeed, is on the way!
