PRESS RELEASE
The passing of the card
Reader and other electronic voting devices into law.
VICTORY FOR HOPE PARTY AND
VICTORY FOR THE POOR masses IN 2019 ELECTIONS.
Hope Party while rejecting
the new pegged N5 Billion presidential
campaign expenses in attempt to commercialise elections and engage in vote
stealing or buying in the coming 2019 presidential election, wish to
congratulate Nigerians and members/leaders of our great party in their resilience
and insistence through lawful litigations, persuasions and advocacy in and out
of court for the institution and entrenchment of the needed pillars of sustainable
democracy as exemplified in the long pending suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/627/2017
between HDP vs The National Assembly, INEC and the AGF, before Hon Justice
Kolawole (now ACJ) seeking the legal institution and recognition of the use of
electronic voting as a condition for our continued participation in the
hijacked democracy in Nigeria by the exploitative capitalists now in power.
It is our believe that the electronic voting system
will eliminate or curtail the prevalent vote stealing and swapping during
collations of results at elections and will guarantee a free and fair election
and cause a break from the old order/guards.
Our unshaken believe and resolve from
the onset to first tackle the issues inhibiting the growth of sustainable
democracy, good leadership and governance has since our registration as a
political party has manifested in this result following concessions by the
parties in court with our party on this issue and the good news today to the
glory of God as our children yet unborn will benefit from this effort which the
ruling party may want to take credit as votes will now count at elections
towards putting in place a new leadership in our beloved country Nigeria.
It should be recalled that our great
Hope Party have played great roles and is instrumental in the opening up of the
political space through its successive cases in courts for the entrenchment of
the present multi-party liberal democratic system in our effort to assist in
loosening the heated polity that has given rise to the increase in the
registration of more political parties in recent times.
We had in other occasions taken up
other issues in court including the then President Obansanjo’s PDP ‘do or die’
politics of 2007 Presidential Election on being registered then as well as at
the 2011 presidential election heralded by the fuel subsidy scam over which our
party took on the government at the time as well as the anti-craft agency who
looked the other way while the humongous scam was foisted on Nigerians. We also
in 2015 presidential election challenged the attempt by the ruling party to
procure a security advice from the military as excuse to postpone the scheduled
presidential election and the enforcement of the use of card readers after it
was budgeted for and which the present APC ruling government benefited to come
into power at the centre today but has since grossly abused it.
In our continued quest for an orderly
liberal democratic system and effort to engage government of the day in shaping
its policies and programs in the overall interest of the generality of the masses
and people of Nigeria and as we look forward to the hearing on 27/11/2018 of
the pending suit no. FHC/ABJ/1028/2017 between HDP vs the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Chairman EFCC and the AGF, seeking an order of
mandamus to compel the President to reorganise, dissolve and/or probe the
schewed and corrupt manner the present Police controlled EFCC carries out its
anti-corruption fight in clear abuse of established laws and rule of law and
its use and deployment of some named and known rogue elements as officials and
prosecutors adept at blackmailing hapless respectable members of the society
including the Judiciary/court, using media trials to divert attention to cover
up the real issues and as instrument of terror in their operations.
In the coming General Elections and more
particularly the Presidential election in February, 2019, it is Hope party’s
wish to pursue a revolutionary change or restructuring in the political economy
of our country from the present exploitative capitalist economic system to
welfarist wealth redistribution economic system to end poverty and check the
growing drift and economic crisis in the country presently.
We wish to notify all stake holders
including INEC, the Press/Media, the earlier so-called major political parties
funded by corrupt proceeds and patronage of successive governments, and other
such like capitalists in ideology that we (the welfarist Hope Party of the poor
masses and 87 million reported poor Nigerians) owe it a duty to Nigerians to
enlighten and draw their attention to the age-long deceit and gang up of our
retired/past leaders and the elites in
their conspiracy to continue to feast on the inherited exploitative and corrupt
capitalist system without reforms to sustain and perpetuate themselves and
cronies in power to the detriment and impoverishments of the long suffering masses
thereby widening the gap between the rich and the poor and the accompanying
inequality.
It is therefore our party’s resolve
to sue on any attempt to trespass, undermine or confuse the failed present
exploitative capitalist economic system with the Hope party’s initiated
welfarist wealth distribution ideological economic system for a new political
economic system and new order beginning from May, 2019 to end poverty and the
present exploitative capitalist economic system in Nigeria.
The choice before the longsuffering
poor masses of this great country at the 2019 Presidential election must be the
choice between continuing with the present exploitative Capitalist system
breeding corruption, looting of state treasuries, kidnapping on the streets,
drug trafficking, militancy, terrorism, etc. and the new choice of welfarism
(welfare for all) based on wealth redistribution, interest free funds to all
SMEs, the unemployed, widows and the aged to ensure a poverty free and
egalitarian society with our God-given enormous wealth as a Nation.
We assure all Nigerians that with the
legalizations of the Card Reader and other electronic voting devices that
change in leadership again this time is guaranteed and this time the people
will be the ultimate winners to make for and usher in a new order and
restructure of governance as they vote to end poverty and the present
exploitative capitalist system.
LONG LIVE NIGERIA
GOD BLESS HOPE PARTY.
Sani Usman
National Publicity Secretary
