Former chairman of the Independent National Electoral commission(INEC) professor Attahiru Jega has warned NigerIans not to vote for PDP and APC in the 2023 general elections, saying they have failed
The University don who said this on BBC Hausa in Kaduna State called on Nigerians not to give APC and PDP their trust anymore since they have not been able to change the economic fortunes of Nigeria for the past 20 years.
He stated also that he has joined Peoples Redemption Party ( PRP), to contribute in building Nigeria.
According to him, “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.”
The former chairman of INEC alleged that those in major political parties have destroyed everything and had made the parties so stigmatized that whichever good person joins the parties would be considered like them.
Jega alleged that lack of good leadership in the country has thrown the nation into its current problems, leading to series of agitations for the country to be balkanized.
He lamented, “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.”
