Only 10 out of 45 registered political parties in Nigeria have registered and official websites.The national president of the Computer Guild of Nigeria (CGN), Wole Adedoyin made this known at a press conference on Sunday in Lagos State.

In a very short time, websites have become vital campaign and communication tools for political parties around the world.

Political parties and candidates in the United States began to adopt the internet during the election campaigns in 1996. Political parties in Nigeria started using it in 2001. Even though most parties then did not have a real conception of how to use the medium and many of them set up websites primarily to be seen to be keeping up with technology. And the fact that Nigerian parties and candidates then simply feared being left behind.

According to Wole Adedoyin, the parties with visible websites are New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) @www.newnigeriapeoplesparty.org , Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) @ www.pppnigeria.org, All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) @ www.apga.org, Labour Party (LP) www.labourpartyng.org, Advanced People Democratic Alliance (APDA), @ www.apdanigeria.org, All Progressives Congress (APC) @ www.allprogressivecongress.org , Action Democratic Party (ADP), @ www.actiondemocraticparty.org, Young Democratic Party (YDP) @ www.ydp.ng, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), @ www.peoplesdemocraticparty. com.ng, KOWA Party (KP) @ www.kowaparty.net.

Mr. Adedoyin who is also the national coordinator of Democratic Writers Association of Nigeria said that only 32 out of 45 registered political parties in Nigeria have facebook accounts.

“Website is one of the major tools for canvassing, mobilizing, sensitizing, educating and engaging grassroots voters. A typical party website would be strong, have detailed information on party organization and structure including profiles of some party officials at both the national and state levels”.

“My advice to INEC is to compel all registered political parties in the country to have functioning websites so as to allow the public to have access to their programmes and manifestoes”.

What do you expect? When we are always voting in old cargos into government, what do you expect? Many of them are computer illiterates. The last election, we clearly saw how those old cargos, especially the one suffering from Parkinson disease rented warehouses filled with educated youths who have knowledge of computer and social media.

Buhari know Wetin be mouse?Infact can he perform selfies .Come to the political parties buildings in Abuja and you will Marvel at the level of decay.



That reminds me, I visited Benue laison office few years back(2 years ago) in Abuja and what I saw there, very unfortunate. The place looks like a confederation for Lassa fever carrying domestic and bush rats. Tattered chairs and cockroach infested toilets. Nigerian leaders in their majority are totally useless. Tufiakwa!

In this technology generation

say God

wetin be my own nw, just passing by

This alone Screams the word "SCAM" within the Nigerian Political institutions.

The rest are just association of people coming together to share malt and sausage

Great opportunities for web developers to market their skills

how does this put food on my table?

And so 9ja don cast

Why do we expect them to have websites when they imagine a vast majority of the electorates are illiterate?

Most of these so called political parties are nothing but "platforms" for bargains and "settlement" with no clear cut purpose or ideology.

you can imagine, how do they intend to make their manifesto known to the public.
not surpising sha because they are all there just to have a share of the national cake
