NDC Exempts Obi, Kwankwaso From Anti-Defection Oath Policy
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has exempted its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, from its newly introduced anti-defection oath, which is aimed at discouraging elected officials from leaving the party after winning elections.
The party’s National Secretary, Ikenna Enekweizu, disclosed this on Wednesday during an appearance on a television, where he defended the policy amid criticism that it may violate constitutional provisions.
Enekweizu said the requirement for candidates to sign an oath of loyalty is grounded in the party’s constitution and is designed to prevent the wave of defections that has weakened several political parties in recent years.
“First and foremost, a political party is like any other association, and every member who subscribes to the membership of the party is bound by the provisions of the constitution of the party and decisions taken by the party’s properly constituted authorities… Within NDC, the decision to make people sign that affidavit is provided for in our constitution,” he said.
He dismissed claims that the policy was unconstitutional, arguing that members of voluntary associations are legally bound by the rules governing such organisations.
Although the party’s constitution requires all candidates on its platform to sign the oath, Enekweizu said an administrative decision was taken to exempt the presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
“The constitution says everybody running under the platform of the party has to sign, but the party has taken the administrative decision that those required to sign in this instance do not include the presidential candidate and his vice,” he stated.
He added that the party’s primary concern is with lawmakers elected into the National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly, who often defect shortly after assuming office.
“Our main focus is not the governor; it’s not the president, it’s the national and state assembly members elected on the platform of our party,” he said.
The NDC recently unveiled the anti-defection measure, saying it is intended to protect the party’s institutional integrity and discourage elected officials from using the platform only as an electoral vehicle before defecting after victory.
