SDP tackle INEC’s , Says Arrangement for Voters Registration is Anti-Democracy

The Social Democratic Party in Oyo has described the INEC preparation for the Voters registration exercise that started today as anti-democratic process and shoddy.

This is designed to ensure majority of Nigerians who are displeased with the ruling party do not have tool which is voters’ cards to vote against APC.

In a statement signed by The Oyo state Publicity secretary of Social Democratic Party, Alhaji Akeem Azeez said it is quite “anti-democratic process to site registration centres only at INEC local government offices i.e one per each local government.”

Democracy is not only designed to be pro -people but also to bring ease not hardship to the people. However,  the decision of INEC to site one registration centre at each local government will cause alot of hardship to prospective voters who are in there thousands in each local government and may eventually discourage them from performing one of their civic duties due to long queue under the sun. Moreover,  some village rs would have to trek several kilometers to register. It is simply anti -People procedure and should be discontinued.

” The previous registration exercise was done at 5620 polling units across the state which bring the centres closer to the people. Common sense dictates that an organisation of INEC stature and standing should improve on its process and procedure yearly but its quite unfortunate that INEC process is retrogressive.

The Social Democratic Party  call on INEC to rescind it’s decision and site the registration centres at voting points across the country to encourage people to come out to register. Said SDP scribe

‘I know nothing about Tuface’s protest’ -Senator Akpabio

The attention of the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio has been drawn to a story circulating in the internet, alleging that the former Governor of Akwa Ibom State is the sponsor of the proposed nationwide protest to be led by 2 Face Idibia, to demand answers from the government over different issues in the country.
It is laughable that the only link between the music star, 2 Face and Senator Akpabio which the authors of the mischievous story belabour to establish is that “in 2013, 2Face and his wife, Annie Macaulay were gifted (sic) two brand new Prado SUVs by this former governor as their wedding gift which they amiably (sic) accepted.”
For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that Senator Akpabio knows nothing about the planned protest neither is he the sponsor. In fact, Senator Akpabio has had no contact whatsoever with 2Face for many years.
According to the information being circulated the organizers of the planned protest have stated clearly that their protest is: “a call for nationwide protests as we say no to the Executive, no to legislatures, no to judiciary.” Is it not idiotic and senseless for anyone to imagine that Senator Akpabio will sponsor a protest against the same arm of government that he is serving as a leader!
As the Minority Leader, Senator Akpabio has consistently maintained that Nigerians should put aside their differences and support every effort that will pull the country out of the present recession. Much as he believes in the right of every Nigerian to express himself, he does not think that mass protest is the solution.
The mischievous attempt to drag the name of Senator Akpabio into the planned protest should be discountenanced as the handiwork of political jobbers.

World Cancer Day: Bracket Embarks on ‘B2 For Life’ Campaign

Smash, Vast, Abigail and Dr Adekeye.

As the world marks the World Cancer Day yesterday, Bracket Foundation and Bricon Foundation have collaborated to launch ‘B2 for Life’, an initiative aimed at giving succour to cancer patients in Nigeria. Bracket Foundation is co-founded by the popular singing duo of Vast (Ozioko Nwachukwu) and Smash (Obumneme Ali), while Bricon Foundation on the other hand is co-founded by Abigail Simon-Hart and Dr Niyi Adekeye.
Both Abigail and Vast are cancer survivors and the foundations were set up in 2016 with a view of providing much needed funding for cancer patients in Nigeria. Having both had their treatment in the UK, on coming back to Nigeria, they realised that instead of encouraging treatment outside the country, there is a need to build the necessary support structure within the country and to ensure that this care can be accessed by people who cannot afford to travel outside for treatment.
The ‘B2 for Life’ campaign flagged-off with a press conference hosted by the Wheatbaker, Ikoyi a few days ago to mark the release of an awareness video which highlights the plight of cancer patients in Nigeria and the need for everyone to contribute their widows’ mite to helping those struggling with the disease.
Nigeria continues to have the highest cancer death rate in Africa, with survival as low as 20 percent for most cancers and as low as 3 percent for blood cancer. “We need to change these statistics. We also need to address the issue of stigmatisation of cancer patients. There is no shame in having cancer and until more cancer patients come out to talk, many will continue to suffer in silence,” Vast said.
Abigail noted that “although awareness about the disease is increasing, resulting in more people coming forward for treatment, until we as a nation address the lack of personnel, equipment, treatment centres and improve affordability of care, people will continue to die prematurely from the disease.”
She added that all funds raised from the campaign will be used to fund patients’ treatment.
