If our aim is to advance democratic process & practice, then the event that unfolded in Lagos, specifically Ikeja LGA is disturbing for Nigerians to note! When the D.G of the NDLEA in conjunction with armed NDLEA officials stormed the PDP Ward Congress venue, though they were resisted by other PDP party faithfuls, the NDLEA madam succeeded in writing the so-called result of the congress of that particular ward in the house of the chairman of that Local Govt chapter of the party to the dismay of the ward members. The surprising aspect of it is that the DG of NDLEA has her name in the result sheet as one of the ad-hoc delegates in the PDP primaries. One would have thought that the head of such an important organization, even though appointed by the PDP Govt should not have condescended to such a level of using State officials to harass and intimidate party members giving the party a very negative image about the party, the govt and the President who is seen as an apostle of Popular Participation. She was even on tape granting interviews, what a shame. I hope the President and high party officials will call her to order.
