Herd democracy in Cross River State Category: REPORTS Published on Wednesday, 26 March 2014 10:01 Written by Okoi Ofem Obono-Obla I unabashedly belong to APC. There is no doubt about that. I do not belong to PDP. So somebody may argue that the problem of PDP in Cross River State should not be my headache and business. I am talking about the draconian, undemocratic and dictatorial removal of my friend, Dr. Sandy Onor from the causcus of the PDP because of his principled support for the ambition and aspiration of Godwin Jedy Agba by Governor Imoke. I am bothered with the happenings in Cross River PDP because I consider myself as a freedom fighter . I therefore take any infringement of the fundamental right of anybody as an attack on the very essence of humanity which I must consider as an infraction of my own right. Human rights are rights handed and bestowed on us by the creator and so when anybodys right is infringed I taken it as an attack on the foundation of society. This is why the law vest on each and every one of us the right or locus standi to fight against anybody that infringes on the human right of our neighbour. How can Dr. Sandy Onor be removed simply because he decided never to be part again of the herd that Governor Imoke and his PDP have foisted on Cross River. Those who think that there is noting wrong being part of the herd should continue but Dr. Onor is no longer willing to be part of the herd. We now know why Cross River is supposedly a one party State. We now know the inferior and underhand methods used to foist a false one party dictatorship in Cross River. These dictators in the PDP in Cross River are adverse to competition and choice. The chicken has come home to roost. The crude tactics that has been deployed and employed against the opposition since 2003 is now manifesting in the PDP. These tactics used against the opposition are now been unleashed to hound supporters of those who think and believe that Governor Imoke should not single handedly decide who the next Governor of the State should be. I think the Governor must allow free choice to prevail in his Party. He must allow democracy to prevail in his Party. If Donald Duke was so dictatorial I know that Imoke would not be Governor today. Let Imoke allow members of the PDP to nominate the candidate of their choice. Let Imoke respect humanity by not imposing his whims and caprice on his fellow party member. Members of the PDP should arouse from their legarthy and rescue their Party from the throes of unbridled dictatorship. However I thank Dr. Onor for his principled stance against the cult of personality and the herd of the mentality being practice in the State ; PDP whereby the words of the Governor and his wife is law. This is how APC was hounded and prevented from taking part in the last local government councils in the State under the guise that the Party was not registered 90 days before the election. Governor Imoke must learn the virtues of democracy from Governor El Makura of Nasarawa State. In the results so far announced by the Nassarawa State Independent Electoral Commission over the local government elections held on 22nd March 2014 APC won 6 local government councils whereas PDP won 4.
