The National
Conscience Party (NCP) has condemns in totality the move to reduce political
parties in Nigeria.
The party in a
statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the National Chairman of the party
Comrade Omole Olusegun who described the move as undemocratic and must be
rejected by lovers of the nation,called on Nigerians to hold their Representatives accountable.
The party, however,
appeals to the Senate to urgently reduce the cost of governance so as to make
life more bearable for every Nigerian.
The NCP calls on
Senator Ahmed Lawal lead 9th Assembly to also reduce the cost of running the
Country legislative arm as they are there to serve not to be served as seen
from the present proposed 2020 budget which shows that the National Assembly
budget is higher than the Nation’s Education and Health budget.
Saying Nigeria is one
leading with out of school children Country, NCP calls on the senate president
to use his good officer along with other lawmakers to eradicate illiteracy in
the country.
Since Nigerians now
have the opportunity to settle down for credible political parties that will
promote and truly protect the interest of the masses because of the poor
performance of the (2) regular Actors, there is need for the Upper Legislature
to guide the institutions of Political Parties jealously.
The statement went on
to say that a reduction in the number of political parties to 5 is never a
solution but rather a shameful ambition which should not be nursed by an Arm of
Government, which by its nature cannot function optimally without political
parties.
