Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has stated that the problem of Nigeria is political parties.
Her outburst comes following the incessant defection from other parties to the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Ezekwesili emphasized that Nigeria has a faulty foundation and defecting from one political party to another which she described as ‘acronymn’ won’t solve the problem.
Her words,”Can I tell you that political parties has been part of the problems of our elite failures because we really havent had political parties in Nigeria.
We have political platforms, God bless the spirit of someone who used exactly that name for me. They are platforms where individual interest are negotiated.
“We are yet to control the ideology of having real political parties driven by the sense of nation building.
“And then if I ask you again and you say your common identity is APC, I can well tell what will happen because what would happen is that a new set of operators wants to control.
“We have a faulty foundation. When you have a structural problem, you have to find structural solutions.
“Just merely changing acronyms and doing the migratory dance that happens between one set of acronyms and another set of acronyms does not solve the problem of the 50 something years of failure since our independence.”
