The former Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria (INEC), Professor Attahiru Muhammad Jega, has urged Nigerians not to vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) henceforth due to their failure to bring the desired growth and development in Nigeria in the last 20 years.
Jega, who spoke in an interview with BBC Hausa in Kaduna, alleged that the two major political parties were like Siamese twin and it was high time Nigerians looked for a credible alternative.
He 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.”
Jega 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.”
