Coalition of Registered Political Parties Rebrands for Advocacy

The Coalition of Registered Political Parties (CRPP) has officially changed its name to the Peoples’ Assembly for Good Governance (PAGG) to strengthen its advocacy for good governance and development. This decision was made following a petition allegedly sponsored by an IPAC organization against the CRPP name, submitted to the Department of State Services (DSS) in Edo State.

In a statement from Benin City, PAGG's Chairman, Dr Samson Isibor, and General Secretary, Hon. Chukwuemeka Nkama, indicated that the Executive Council's resolution to adopt the new name would allow the group to continue its activities effectively. The name change also responds to requests from supporters, particularly the "impoverished masses" of Edo State, urging the group to take a more proactive stance on local issues.

PAGG reaffirmed its commitment to the people and its constitutional right to freedom of association, pledging to challenge detrimental policies and actions, including criticizing Governor Monday Okpebholo's administration regarding the slow progress on overhead bridge projects and the condition of the Benin-Lagos Expressway.
