2023: Jega Promotes Own Platform,PRP, Condemns APC, PDP

The former Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria (INEC),Professor Attahiru Muhammad Jega has called on Nigerians not to vote for the All Progressives Congress ( APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) in the next election coming up in 2023.

Professor Jega was speaking on a BBC Hausa programme on Monday, stressing that ‘Nigerians should dump the two parties because of their bad antecedents over the last 20 years.

The former INEC boss said it was high time Nigerians look for a credible alternative because according to him, the two major political parties in the country were like Siamese twins of Corruption.

He stressed,’ 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 alleged.

‘ The bad things these parties have 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 ,they 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 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,” he said.

“It has now become imperative to have a new platform where good Nigerians will constitute the membership.”

” Since 1979 I’ve been teaching in the university,for 40 years now.So,from what I read and observed,when I was Chairman of INEC,honestly the way I see our politicians conducting elections and from the manner they represent their people when elected,honestly it is something to be afraid of,” he said.
He also said that the country’s current problems including the various agitations by several groups across the country were fallouts of the poor leadership in the country.
