National Conscience Party

South-West Zone meeting

Oshogho, Osun State

May 18, 2006

Statement on the current Nigerian situation

The meeting notes that the Obasanjo regime's plot to extend its rule beyond 2007 has failed. It rejoices with Nigerians for checkmating the elongation of the regime that has brought only monumental hardship, poverty for the mass majority of the people. It however alerts the people that until a working peoples party comes to power, it is not yet hurrah. While noting the role played by the National Assembly in killing the bill for the elongation of the tenure of the regime, the meeting affirms that both chambers of the National Assembly are not against the regime on its anti-poor policies. It therefore calls on all pro-labour organisations, mass political parties with similar ideology and programmes with NCP to work together to wrestle political power from these political vultures and their parties that have made life miserable for the poor masses. It is only this that can bring an end to mass poverty in the midst of plenty.

Third Term Debate:

*No to Obasanjo and All Anti-Poor Capitalist Politicians

* For Regime and Fundamental Policy Change

 

For the working masses, Obasanjo�s regime is nothing short of absolute disaster. In this regard the several general strikes and mass protests waged by the working masses against the regime are clear demonstrations of the people�s desire to end this unjust dispensation.

PRESS STATEMENT:

LABOUR, CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS AND PRO-MASSES POLITICAL PARTIES MUST MOBILISE AGAINST THE PROPOSED FUEL HIKE, AND FOR REGIME AND SYSTEM CHANGE

The latest proposed hike in the prices of the petroleum products by Obasanjo�s regime despite the soaring incomes from crude oil sales shows the utter insensitivity of this regime towards the plight of the poor working masses and the economy. If at all it could be debated that the government meant well with its neo-liberal policies, this singular action shows that it does not.

REJOINDER TO LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT ON NEW LOCAL COUNCILS

NO AMOUNT OF BLACKMAIL AND GRANDSTANDING SHALL DEBAR US FROM OUR JUST AND DEMOCRATIC AGITATION

[www.socialistnigeria.org Editor's note] On 9 February, 2005 the Lagos State National Conscience Party (NCP) issued a statement "LAGOS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CRISIS" at a press conference that was reported in a number of newspapers.

Four days later the Alliance for Democracy (AD) led Lagos State administration issued a rejoinder attacking the Lagos State NCP, accusing it of being in an "unholy romance" with the People�s Democratic Party of President Obasanjo and describing the NCP�s position as "a disgrace to populist politics".

The NCP statement below refuting the AD�s charges and restating its opposition to both the AD and PDP was presented to press on February 16.

    Press Statement

    Fuel Price Increase: Time for Total Fight Back.

    The contemplated fresh increase in the prices of petroleum products, which would mean the fifth in five years of Obasanjo�s regime, is a pointer to the fact that the regime is religiously committed to carrying out a comprehensive package of policies which severally and collectively only tend to attack the living standard of poorest sections of the society, especially the working class.

    A VOTE OF NO-CONFIDENCE ON THE RULING PARTIES

    Babatunde Oluajo (a.k.a Sankara), a leading member of DSM and the candidate of the National Conscience Party (NCP), came third in the bye-election into the vacant seat of the Amuwo-Odofin II constituency in the Lagos State House of Assembly which took place on the 8th November 2003. He scored 832 votes. This election had originally been scheduled for November 1st, but was postponed when the authorities realised that only the NCP had submitted nomination papers on time.

    Lagos State Bye-election 8th November 2003

    First called for November 1st INEC has now postponed this bye-election in the Amuwo-Odofin constituency 2 until November 8th.

    In the original two week campaign period only the National Conscience Party (NCP) was active in support of its candidate, Babatunde Oluajo (a.k.a Sankara) a leading member of the Democratic Socialist Movement (DSM). Clearly the sudden postponement was provoked by fear that the NCP could win the seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

    Currently all the other 39 members of the Assembly are from the AD, the party of Lagos State Governor Tinubu, that did not oppose Obasanjo in this year�s Presidential election.
