00:00:34,840 –> 00:00:39,439
Journalists NBJ first as are a kay
state and that political leaders always explore the

11
00:00:39,439 –> 00:00:43,560
public through negative ethnic persuptions amongst others
to their own gain endors undermining the principles

12
00:00:43,600 –> 00:00:48,000
of democracy and freedom for free and
for election. The civil society organizations found

13
00:00:48,000 –> 00:00:51,840
at the situation of Nigeria always having
Pledtora cases of post election matters to settle

14
00:00:51,880 –> 00:00:54,799
at the court that do take years
to resolve. We have the unknaw end

15
00:00:54,840 –> 00:00:58,520
Pledgio to welcome you to this inaugural
interface with the press as we begin activities

16
00:00:58,520 –> 00:01:02,679
of the Idol State Civil Societies Situation
Room. The Situation Room was confirmed by

17
00:01:02,679 –> 00:01:07,040
the Justice Development and Peace Center JDPC, the Name Conference of Non Governmental Organizations

18
00:01:07,079 –> 00:01:11,239
CONGOS EDO States, the African Network
for Environments and Economic Justice and Age OROMI

19
00:01:11,319 –> 00:01:15,680
JDPCI, and Joint National Association of
Persons with Disabilities. At the moment,

20
00:01:15,920 –> 00:01:21,000
other casable society groups have been co
opted as numbers of the Situation Room.

21
00:01:21,120 –> 00:01:25,319
All over the world, monitoring elections
to determine their validity has become a conventional

22
00:01:25,319 –> 00:01:30,239
indulgence. However, in Nigeria,
the post election relevance of election observers and

23
00:01:30,280 –> 00:01:34,439
monitors to rise validity from the disputations
alterficials or guamawad accompanied the conclusion of elections

24
00:01:34,439 –> 00:01:38,439
in Nigeria. No doubt, the
cause is a primary arbiter to resolve issues

25
00:01:38,439 –> 00:01:42,439
of disagreement between and among parties.
But the auxidity of the Nigerian situation is

26
00:01:42,439 –> 00:01:46,680
that at the end of every election
there is a plittera of election cases that

27
00:01:46,719 –> 00:01:49,799
sometimes tep over three years to exhaust
in situations this reality, it is either

28
00:01:49,879 –> 00:01:53,079
that there is something wrong with the
whom we implement our democratic process or we

29
00:01:53,159 –> 00:01:57,120
have the character of being bad users. In whichever way these shared manifests,

30
00:01:57,159 –> 00:02:00,840
there is need for social engineering perspect
that will properly situaigh the process of our

31
00:02:00,879 –> 00:02:05,879
democratic delivery or reconfigure the psychological states
of our people in the way they respond

32
00:02:05,920 –> 00:02:08,680
to loosen in an election. In
dealing with this negation, we must evolve

33
00:02:08,759 –> 00:02:14,080
enlightenment processes that deal with mindset orientation
for our political leaders from various parts of

34
00:02:14,080 –> 00:02:17,439
social expression. Egaga started in court
the civil society is tested further that to

35
00:02:17,520 –> 00:02:22,400
address the challenges of the post election
cases in Nigeria and the forthcoming indostate Google

36
00:02:22,439 –> 00:02:24,639
Pole in particular, there is need
to enlighten the public and clearly stand the

37
00:02:24,639 –> 00:02:30,280
negativity of electionary campaign based on ethnicity
and religious dogmatism in relative with and interrogeting

38
00:02:30,280 –> 00:02:35,960
our conventional challenges. We must clearly
situate the negativity of ethnicity and religious drugmatism

39
00:02:36,039 –> 00:02:38,560
in defining the way our people relate
with reality. These are factors that the

40
00:02:38,560 –> 00:02:43,879
political leadership exploits in altering the perception
of the people in their electron valuation and

41
00:02:43,919 –> 00:02:47,879
conduct. The results to violence pre
election, during and post election are negatives

42
00:02:47,879 –> 00:02:53,120
in our electoral system that must be
resitiated. The home government of election regain

43
00:02:53,159 –> 00:02:57,439
divorced from the wrong perception of the
purpose and benefit of elective offices. To

44
00:02:57,520 –> 00:03:01,960
correct this anomaly requires enlightenment company on
the relationship between development and our electoral choices.

45
00:03:02,360 –> 00:03:07,319
These public awareness initiatives are expected to
address the capacity, rationial and moral

46
00:03:07,319 –> 00:03:10,199
content that ought to define our choice
of persilon for political offices. Thus,

47
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:15,000
the Situation Room, a do stance, will indulge in enlightenment campaign that deliver

48
00:03:15,080 –> 00:03:17,919
importation on the voting population, the
political elits, and the institutions that govern

49
00:03:19,000 –> 00:03:23,800
the electoral courses. Drawing from this
an osten civil society, Situation Room as

50
00:03:23,840 –> 00:03:28,319
constituted comes with a lot of responsibilities. It is not just about election the

51
00:03:28,439 –> 00:03:32,159
data reported. It involves ensuring that
our democratization process effectively intuits into the foundation

52
00:03:32,280 –> 00:03:37,319
and contents of our nation. In
other words, we must acknowledge them demographic

53
00:03:37,360 –> 00:03:39,759
realities that have found symbolic expression in
the way our people say things and the

54
00:03:39,759 –> 00:03:44,199
way they choose to relate with realities. We must move away from the blame

55
00:03:44,280 –> 00:03:47,039
game and clearly in chute into our
peculiarities and fundamental challenges. As in dation,

56
00:03:47,639 –> 00:03:52,000
we must accept our faults and our
diffects and be decided not to sleep

57
00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:55,360
with them. We must locate the
appropriatece arguments that effectively situate our fault lines

58
00:03:55,400 –> 00:04:00,360
as well as evolving the solution braaised
approach that provide their resolution. It is

59
00:04:00,400 –> 00:04:03,919
in this context that the Dose State
Civil Society Situation Room at collegisteracullndless collaboration that

60
00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:09,000
will enrich latter collection, the synthesis
of processes and resolving the overlap that is

61
00:04:09,000 –> 00:04:12,680
converted in the diversity of our stath
and country in religion, ethnicity and cultural

62
00:04:13,240 –> 00:04:16,480
Therefore, a Door State Civil Society
Situation Room is focused at a holistic approach

63
00:04:16,519 –> 00:04:20,279
that will effectively respond to the diverse
points which underpins our present contradictions. In

64
00:04:20,279 –> 00:04:26,160
evolving a genuine democratic process, we
hold that democracy and development trend on common

65
00:04:26,199 –> 00:04:30,519
symtams and asym biotic. When the
democratic process is imperred, it alters the

66
00:04:30,560 –> 00:04:33,959
delivery of the political system. When
the democratic process is imperred, homony and

67
00:04:34,040 –> 00:04:39,800
suspicion becomes endemic in its final outcome. Why suspicion is prevalent and harmony is

68
00:04:39,879 –> 00:04:45,399
kewed. Development cannot have a wholesome
expression beyond election their monitoring activities. Therefore,

69
00:04:45,560 –> 00:04:48,560
the Adoors states Civil Society Situation Room
will be active in deepending pills electoral

70
00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:53,839
conduct as an expression of good citizenship
and patriotism. In other words, we

71
00:04:53,920 –> 00:04:57,319
must affect the psychology of our people, behave money, and in attitudinal self

72
00:04:57,319 –> 00:05:00,480
configuration. Knowing that this requires a
lot of effort, we place involvement a

73
00:05:00,519 –> 00:05:04,279
working relationship with the media as primary. The media has a lot to give

74
00:05:04,319 –> 00:05:10,279
independent our enlightenment and civic education programs. Likely have said previously, we must

75
00:05:10,319 –> 00:05:14,600
give serials attention to improving upon the
contents of our political office holders. This

76
00:05:14,720 –> 00:05:18,480
comes for deepending the consciousness of our
political leaders on responsible and responsive leadership delivery.

77
00:05:18,920 –> 00:05:24,360
When our political office holders, who
include our elected representatives, understands the

78
00:05:24,360 –> 00:05:27,680
emails of being a responsible leader and
a responsive leader, it will guard their

79
00:05:27,720 –> 00:05:30,240
relationship with the power game and the
engender in them disposition to good leadership.

80
00:05:30,720 –> 00:05:34,439
More so, when the law that
the electorate little the citizen ring are our

81
00:05:34,439 –> 00:05:39,079
good understanding of word, the expect
from their political leaders a sense of question

82
00:05:39,120 –> 00:05:43,279
will guard the disposition of the political
leads, leaders and gentlemen of the press.

83
00:05:43,399 –> 00:05:46,639
In the immediates, we will focus
on a DOL twenty twenty four governorship

84
00:05:46,639 –> 00:05:50,240
election consuance to that we are building
a wide civil society window that will ensure

85
00:05:50,240 –> 00:05:56,519
that the electoral process appropriately delivers a
people’s centered and people focus electoral reports.

86
00:05:56,560 –> 00:06:00,279
We will hold sessions with the Independent
National Electoral Commission to strengthen organization in neutrality,

87
00:06:00,560 –> 00:06:03,839
due process and religence, insistence on
the secrecy of the ballot. It

88
00:06:03,959 –> 00:06:08,759
to get an electoral valulence both selling
and buying, and appropriate conduct on the

89
00:06:08,759 –> 00:06:12,839
path of electoral officers. We will
maintain a liaison with the security agencies and

90
00:06:12,920 –> 00:06:16,759
improving OPOME security expectations free given and
post election one. We hope for a

91
00:06:16,759 –> 00:06:20,600
credible electoral process in ADUL twenty twenty
four. We will enshore that the Dose

92
00:06:20,639 –> 00:06:26,279
Tense Civil Society Situation Room provides a
robust, little and credible electoral report that

93
00:06:26,360 –> 00:06:30,319
will sell immediate analysis and act as
a leading light in future evaluation. We

94
00:06:30,439 –> 00:06:32,480
thank you for taking out time for
this press conference and trust that we will

95
00:06:32,519 –> 00:06:40,240
give it the appropriate social impact that
it desires. Send to gather Lady Green

96
00:06:40,360 –> 00:06:43,120

regal way.
