ReplyDeleteVery nice one...28 de-registered,pls how many is left?...they need to still bring it down to only 5 or less..nice step...that's the way forward.
ReplyDeleteIts a welcomed development,coz most dis parties are yet to field any candidate even for councillorship elections.
ReplyDelete~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
We hv way too many parties jare...I didn't evn knw som of these parties exist..nawa Oº°˚
ReplyDeleteThe reasons would surely be related to the fact that those parties are tagged as "Non performing" Parties, I suspect INEC seeing them as a "wasting space" bunch. Putting one and two together, I don't think I have seen any serving politician with any of those parties mentioned tagged to them, but is this action by INEC really democratic or ethical?
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't think I have heard of most of the aforementioned parties before. Good one, anyway.
ReplyDeleteMore should go
ReplyDeleteSome of these,na only d chairman be d member and I am sure he doesn't even vote under the party on election days.....@people Salvation party,...funny silly names sef join!
ReplyDeleteIts a gud move de-registring them cos they were anoda avenue of wasting govt funds through party allocations dey get!
People's salvation and redemption party! LMAO! Smh
ReplyDeleteThey few they are, the better and clearer the election is. Many parties were formed bcos of INEC financial allocation...God bless Nigeria. GBbb
ReplyDeleteThis #gbagaun no easy at all...they few they are indeed.. ROTFL
DeleteGood Job! Dazzling
ReplyDeleteGood Job! Dazzling
ReplyDeleteHow many parties do we wanna have by the way,IMO 3 democratic parties is all we need in nigeria and then a proper regulatory system that ensure this greedy thieves we call leaders don't ruin our nation.
ReplyDeletecommunity party of Nigeria...LOL what of family or village party... this politician, una no go kill me...
ReplyDeleteAmerican Has only 2 Parties!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, u should know better...parties who dont meet certain requirements including winning a number of sits and constituencies are to be delisted says our constitution....this is to guard against people just registering parties to enjoy the allocations given by government during elections
ReplyDeletethat is the best thing.i think Nigeria is getting better some how,but it is a gradual process
ReplyDeletethat is the best thing.i think Nigeria is getting better some how,but it is a gradual process
ReplyDeletePeoples salvation and redemption party! Lmao
ReplyDeleteTo know the reason(s) the parties were de-rgistered, do your bit by checking up the laws referred to by INEC for deregustering them. This way, we will all be learning and contributing our bits to nation bulding.
ReplyDeleteLolest...too funny. C'mon Linda pls tell us you didn't make up some of these names. I dey shiver with laugh here.
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning and have every reason to be angry again due to the situation in my country,Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteI woke up everyday to listen to the news,both local and international,ranging from Politics,sport,foriegn affairs and
many others.But what hurts me most is the issue of my country,then some of the rest of the warring world.
You may not know it because there's no physical bloodshed. But there's a war going on in Nigeria and it has been on
for a very long time now. You hear the people in power telling you everyday,they want corruption to come to an end
in the country,something they know is not possible. They use that as an excuse to hold Nigerian for a very long time
now.After the last military regime in Nigeria,that was Abacha's regime,Nigerians have not know proper
peace,everything became worse and worst it has become now. Then, there was no Boko Harams,now we have
them,then there was no efcc,now we have them,the police corruption and indecent attitude has increased,most
above all dear. The people are being threated as if they are still in the military regime.No freedom of speech,the
medias are afraid to speak,corrupt officials everywhere,the Nigerian forces can't oppose because they are affraid of
being accused of setting up a coup. The rich corrupt officials keep getting richer,the ones that mistakenly step on
wrong toes are set off the game,the poor citizens keep getting poorer,lack of proper education.
Nigerian Governement does not support or encourage positive growth in it's citizens except you can work your way to
that lather of success in what ever way you can. Not in term of education nor anything as I can see. No standby
electricity,no good roads/driving rules,the sense of poverty has eaten deep into the brain of the people and I doubt if
any poor man is moving forward,except for those that can carry out their dirty jobs. No good electricity,you have to
fight hard to fuel your Generator set,you cannot put it on all through the night,Robbery at night in most of the
cities,No good free adult education for the Nigerian people,the Goverment tertiary schools are not encouraging and
even the cost of Higher instutions in Nigeria is huge sum. Most of those Universities are owned by the same men of
God that preech to you about God everyday. In fact,the politician corrupted Nigeria and the so called men of God
took advantage of the poor citizen,knowing fully well everyone needs a miracle and the people desparate to
survive.The policticians are the richest in Nigeria,followed by your men of God. The General oversears are like the
President in the Game,while the follower act accordingly.
There are corruption everywhere,even in the United States and every part of the world. But they are doing quite
well,they give citizens right to good education,adult education,proper medical care, good works,good electricity,good
roads and so on.The U.S is so concerned about it's citizens. But everything seems the opposite in my country. Can't someone tell those Politicians and so called men of God the truth ? If they can't see,someone should at least be honest with them,tell them the truth to their faces.

@chikaka, LMAO,,, SO TRUE
ReplyDeleteVery good decision there. Many of those parties don't produce any serving leader even @ the local level so they need to be wipe out. They are causing nuisance and costing inec money cos i learnt they do provide fund. In the nutshell, our electoral laws need to be review even before the next election in other not to accommodate non-functioning parties.

ReplyDeleteZinnia:
ReplyDeleteFunny parties with funny names. INEC did this same exercise some years ago. I think it's becoming a normal thing now.
IMO(not too sure), I think parties can be de-registered if they have no candidate in any elective position or not having a regular update with INEC regarding their activities.
why na they left out Dele Momodu's fake party National Conscience Party (NCP),please they should add it and make it number 29
ReplyDeleteReasons given by INEC where that registered Political parties should have offices in all 36 states in Nigeria as well as people working in them.
ReplyDeleteChris Okotie can now join de PDP, sorry take over de PDP.
