 Democracy Watch Initiative DWI has cautioned President-elect Borla Tinibu and the National Working Committee of all progressives, Congress, APC, against imposing leaders to represent various constituencies at the incoming FEND National Assembly, which is blatant encroachment on the legislative subversion of popular will and deviation from democratic principles of separation of power between three arms of government. There is today this in the communique after a one-day colloquium with theme inclusive participation for sustainable democracy in Kaduna. The convener Nasru Abdukadir Dambataz says there is no better system of government than democratic process to produce leaders through free and fair elections, noting that all contestants to the Senate presidency and speakership should be given fair constitutional rights irrespective of their region. All candidates for the House of Representatives speakership from the North should also be encouraged to subject their aspirations to voting. We however question that the capacity, character and competence should take priority above every other consideration during the voting process and call the candidates that lose to concede honorably and cooperate with those that win in order to make progress. The colloquium finally resolved to call the attention of the President-elect Aswajibola Ahmed Tunugu to be vigilant as to the political opportunities that surround him with the intent of forming another cabal who are behind this scheme aiming to pitch him against his traditional political friends and sections of the country. Blow the President-elect to reclaim the people's confidence in his untented democratic credentials and commitment to entrench sustainable democracy, restoring the glory of governance, reclaiming the sanctity of constitutionalism and respect for the rule of law by coming out openly to renounce any purported arrangement of preferred candidates. They appeal for capacity, character and competence to take priority above every other consideration during the voting process while calling all the candidates that lost to concede honorably and join in building the nation. There is no better system of government than democracy. There is also no better way to produce leaders than democratic process of free and fair elections. The current attempt to impose leaders on people, people of undoubtful maturity and proven experience elected to represent their various constituencies in the incoming 10th National Assembly amounts to a brutal encroachment on the sanctity of the legislature, blatant subversion of popular will and distant deviation from the democratic principle of separation of powers between the executive, legislature and judiciary. The leadership of the All Progressive Congress itself, a product of democratic election and which subjected its presidential ticket contest to elections, should now be the same party attempting to manipulate the system to one of selection and imposition. The colloquium therefore condemned the stubborn insistence on the resort to all tactics of imposing leaders on institutions as important as the National Assembly by the National Working Committee of the party under its chairman Ablad.
