In a letter posted on his verified Facebook page, Fr Kelvin argued that Nigerians are not voting based on political parties but rather, the personality of the various candidates, stressing that the ballot papers should not be limited to only the party logo.
Sharing an image of a Malawian ballot paper, the popular priest said almost all the countries in Africa have both the face, and the name of the candidate running for different elections on the ballot paper.“Our ballot paper should be like this because in the true sense of it, it is actually the individual with his vice that we are voting for.
“All the elections conducted in Nigeria in the past, the ballot paper just carried only party logos. But it is not the party we vote for that leads us after the elections but the individual. “Almost all the countries in Africa have both the face, the name of the candidate, his/her running mate, and the party logo on their ballot papers. Please do this for Nigerians”.
It very necessary, adding their pictures will go a long way for voters to recognize who they want to vote for, especially those who reside in rural area.
SUPPORTED!!!
AnorueMoses Translate: Catholic Priest don write message give INEC say make dem bam di photo of election presido dem for di ballot paper.
The new electoral Act support it,but they might have printed the papers before this that'sy only worry.
Let him bring the money to print it dazzol
Dont see anything wrong with this as it will benefit all the political parties
They should add their wife and family as well lool. As if na today election start for Naija
Very important
A good idea so that elected officials won't be taken to court whenever they switched party since people vote for personality not party. Would our political parties agree? My own suggestion is that there should be a provision for independent candidate.
For the Catholic? What a good taught. Religious leaders should be mindfulbof there contribution when it comes to politics. My taught too
The implementation of this will give inecnigeria massive credibility. Aspirants and their parties put together will definitely go a long way. This is FREE AND FAIR enough.
Kudos to these proactive and thoughtful Catholic Priests. I think we all should support this request as this would help the teeming unlearned electorates to make a right choice. CAN & PFN should throw their weight behind this pls!
It is not independent candidates oh. The law allows parties to present candidates
Very good idea if they can do it
Best Idea.
Daz nice One!
Madness
Very true
Not necessary
If inec decline this under any excuse guess den it would be clear they are not for Nigerians but for d wicked politicians
The bane of this country,is bcoz of some of these so called cleargy men.
True
That will be good but I think is too late
Who will pay for that ? Meanwhile the Ballot paper wil be too big . Moreover this is not practical.
In order to recognize Peter Obi
Good move
I concur with this development
