ATIKU INSISTS: ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO SWITCH PARTIES MUST GIVE UP THEUE SEATS. (PHOTO).


 

Politician and businessman, Atiku Abubakar has said that party members must not be allowed to ignore party supremacy and rules, adding that elected members who decamp to other political parties must vacate their seats.


He spoke on Monday in Abuja, as a panelist at a national conference on strengthening democracy in Nigeria, organised by the African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development (Centre LSD), the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), the Peering Advocacy and Advancement Centre in Africa (PAACA), and the National Peace Committee (NPC).


According to him, there must be consequences for members who fail to comply with party rules.


On coalition he explained that opposition parties must realise that it is extremely difficult to dislodge a governing party, however unpopular it may be and however fed up the people may be with it.


He argued that democracy can not be sustained without strong political parties, especially opposition parties.


He said funding by governors and a few wealthy individuals is not a democratic model.
