Victor Ariole of the Department of French, Lagos State University, on Saturday advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to streamline the number of political parties in the country into two or three party system.<\/p>\n
NAN reports that Ariole gave the advice during the 2019 Lagos Rosicrucian Conclave with the theme: \u201cSpirituality for Social Justice\u2019\u2019, held at ISIS Temple, Illupeju, Lagos.<\/p>\n
He said that operating a two or three party system would enable the electorate to pick their leaders objectively without bias or confusion.<\/p>\n
According to him, the multi-party system operated in the country was a mere waste of the nation\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have 91 political parties in the country presently which are all funded by the government; this is outright waste of our nation\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will advise we streamline these parties to two or three to guide against confusion on which party to put in power and manage our resources well,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
Ariole urged FG to be fully responsible and responsive to the needs of Nigerians which included health, housing, education and food.<\/p>\n
He urged the government to see these needs as a priority to ensure that they are easily accessible for people to live peacefully and in harmony.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the richest nation among the West Africa countries but we seem to be the poorest because we have not effectively channeled our energy toward fruitful ventures,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
