Nigerian Political Scientists Slam Lawlessness of Political Parties

The Nigeria Political Scientist Association (NPSA) condemns the lawlessness of Nigerian political parties, highlighting their failure to abide by laws such as premature campaigning and lack of financial transparency required by INEC. Prof.

Hassan Saliu, the association's president, emphasizes the need for parties to respect the law and democratic principles. The NPSA notes low voter turnout due to parties' lack of awareness of their role in the democratic process.

They also criticize the dominance of godfathers in party activities, leading to unfair treatment of members and erosion of democracy.
