2023: Jega Joins PRP, Advises Nigerians Not To Vote APC, PDP
Former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, has declared his membership of a new political party, Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) while advising Nigerians not to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections.
According to Prof. Jega while speaking in an interview he granted BBC Hausa, “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.
“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.”
“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.”
Professor Jega also stated that “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”.
“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.
