There are reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP), the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) are planning to form a formidable party that will sack the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In this exclusive interview on Channels Television, a political economist, Professor Pat Utomi, confirms that the parties’ candidates in the 2023 presidential poll have agreed to form a mega party. He also speaks on talks that led to the creation of the APC in 2014 as well as his relationship with President Bola Tinubu
Speaking further during the interview he discussed the need for a new political party in Nigeria, emphasizing that the existing parties have not effectively served the people.
He also criticized the current state of Nigerian politics, highlighting the lack of focus on improving the quality of life for Nigerians.
Utomi also explained that the failure of the APC (All Progressives Congress) was due to the intentions of certain individuals within the party.
He further expressed the need for a new party with clear values and policies, as well as a focus on accountability and progress.
“Let’s leave elections for now. Let’s look at how our country can be made to work for everybody. And let’s create a political party that can bring the issues to the fore for all the Nigerian people to have the kind of consensus on how to solve problems. If we have that consensus, we will find Nigerians who can provide leadership positions and the provision of those positions will not be about what they get for themselves because this narcissism is a cancer that is tearing Nigerian politics down.
“What we need are people who sacrificially give up themselves to build a great country with their possible reward being immortality”.
Additionally, he mentioned discussions with various political figures and leaders of social movements about forming this new party, emphasizing the importance of values and integrity in Nigerian politics.
