The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has justified the party’s decision to require all candidates aspiring for elective offices on its platform to sign indemnity and affidavit forms before they obtain the party’s ticket.
The statement shared by the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Abu Agada on Wednesday said the move was to curb decamping and political prostitution.
Recall that the NDC policy, unveiled on Tuesday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, stipulated that any candidate elected on its platform must vacate his or her seat if he or she defects to another political party before the expiration of his or her tenure.
National Chairman of the NDC, Moses Cleopas, said the decision was taken to protect the party’s electoral mandate and strengthen internal discipline, at the signing ceremony attended by some candidates and aspirants.
“The party can no longer overlook the recurring trend of politicians winning elections on the platform of political parties only to dump the same parties after securing office,” Cleopas said.
He said the new policy was approved at the meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee as part of measures to prevent elected officials from treating party mandates as personal property.
Supporting the party’s decision in some quarters, Agada explained that the move is supported by the Nigerian constitution, in defence of the outrage that has greeted the party’s decision.
He also said it has historical backing and that while individuals are free to leave the party if they wish, they must vacate their seats before doing so.
“The full statement read: “The NDC Anti-Decamping Initiative is a party backed innovation to stem decamping and political prostitution.
“People can leave the party if they want to, but they have to give up their seats. This position is in complete compliance with the provisions of Nigerian Constitution.
There is no problem in cases of split in the party as defined by the Constitution, affected members are free to exit with constitutional protection. “But if an elected official walks away for personal convenience to get a better deal with another party, then they can do that, but they must relinquish the mandate.
The official is entitled to leave the party but cannot take the mandate with him. They would have to fight on a new platform and call a by-election.
This was the practice for the First and Second Republics of Nigeria. For example, Sule Lamido left the PRP and honourably resigned his position, contested on a new platform and won. This was the practice at the time and remains the practice in the UK and other mature democracies.
The NDC is not stopping anyone from leaving the party with this initiative. Constitutional safeguards for genuine party splits, such as those witnessed by PDP, still exist. But if a member jumps ship out of mere convenience, they have to resign the seat.
The affidavit that is required for this initiative does not add to or change the Constitution, it only strengthens it. “It enhances the moral authority of the party and provides a clear sworn statement that enables the NDC to apply for the seat to be declared vacant.”
