Former Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria ( INEC), Professor Attahiru Muhammad Jega has called on Nigerians to stop voting for the two leading Political parties in the country over their alleged failure to bring the desired growth and development in Nigeria since when they have been ruling.
Prof. Jega said this is necessary because both parties, the All Progressives Congress ( APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) have bad antecedents.
The Former INEC boss who was Speaking in an interview with the BBC Hausa said ” Nigerians should dump the two parties because of their bad antecedents over the last 20 years. Looking at their inability to change the economic fortunes of Nigeria for 20 years now, it is now apparently clear that they would not do anything even if Nigerians vote for any of the two parties again,”
He further explained that ” the bad things these parties committed in those past years, Nigerians should never give their trust to the parties again. It is now very clear that these parties would never change, even if they are given another chance.”

“The APC and PDP have formed governments, we were all witnesses. They did not come with a good intention to make amends. If you look at the fight against corruption, all these corrupt people that were supposed to be prosecuted sneaked into the APC.”
“We are hearing nothing. That is why I’ve since registered with the Peoples Redemption Party( PRP). I am now a PRP member looking for ways to help the Nigeria.”
” That is why we believe now is the time to establish a platform where every good Nigerian should join and contribute towards building the nation on the right path,”
