Unfortunately, it runs contrary to the provisions of constitution freedom of association. So, how do we go about it?

Idiots. Decentralize political parties. Allow parties to be able to register at LGA, State and National Level.

Pls remove APC and PDP
Hahahahaha. It is not about the party my dear. Without the people who run the party, it ceases to exist.

If you remove the parties, you better be ready to proscribe their members preventing them from participating in active politics, lest they simply melt into the other parties an continue the illicit businesses there. cheesy

Long overdue. In fact, Africans especially Nigerians are power hungry people, hence everybody wants to be a governor, president, chairman etc which forms the basis of the multiple political parties in our country today. The day SDP and NRC were disbanded by the military, that was the day good political structure was buried.
Can't we borrow a leaf from America? Despite the many hungry people desperate to lead the God's Own Country, that hasn't shifted the political structure from remaining two dominant political parties. It is well

No, We are soo stoopid we forget history too easily this kind of arrangement has been done before why are we running in circles? they want to hijack democracy, with 91 parties any Nigerian can run for office whether you win or lose na you sabi but once it is 5 only the ruling party or the biggest parties will even appoint leaders in the other 3 parties and frustrate those parties.
For now we have seen cases however little where unexpected partied came out victorious one or two parties cannot control all 89 other parties once rigging stops we will enjoy this 91 party system better than that 5 party system.
Bet me those 5 parties will cause Tribalism, religious intolerance, etc by their candidates and their rhetorics. We saw it when Nigeria started with NCNC= igbo peoples party NDP=hausa people party and that Action group= yoruba people party. These 3 will dominate the rest of us even more than before. We will go back to a time when we had political parties named
1. Zamfara commoners party
2. Midwest Democratic front
3. United middle belt Congress
4. Northern people's party
Let's assume these are the 4 parties allowed to remain along with APC or PDP imagine what a Nigeria that would be, imagine the marginalisation, don't get me wrong marginalisation exists look at the NigerDelta 100% of Nigeria oil yet no electricity no jobs nothing but this would be on an even grander scale putting us in a position whereby the electorate is forced to pick between 5 types of poison.
grin grin grin grin"a position whereby the electorate is forced to picked between 5 types of poison ".
I no do again if na poison.
Very sensible. But let's say,like 25-30 is OK because most of the political parties are not viable. Now is time to look at independent candidature as well.

. Just as Democrat and Republican have hijack democracy in America right? I thought you were making sense initially not until I was patient to read down the trash you vomited. What is the essence of have 91 political parties when the family members of those vying for electoral position in the other parties can't even vote for them. The fast they reduce all the parties in Nigeria to 4 parties the better for us.

Freedom of Association does not confer INEC the obligation to register them. Just raise the height of the door handle to keep the pygmy associations out.

I feel 10 to 15/20 is enough.
91 is too much even without rigging

5 (moon) is for Heads of States.... 2 (Mercury - usually shown as +1-1) out of 10 in Pluto represent 2 sides of a coin (2 penny) which stands for two major political parties, the remaining 8(Uranus) is the timid masses (Women/Children)... Lastly 4 (Mars) is the benevolent masses (Aged people/Men)...

Extended politics gives the place of 10 Pluto to Monarchy because 10 or 1-1-8 (H2O = Water in the sky the turns into rain drops is further translated into Reign (for monarch) instead of Rain...

Benevolent means Being Of Length/Long (Off Age) or Been Up To (What you do for a living/crime against humanity)... Which is why 9 (Death the reaper is hanging over them (9+4= 4 Man with a heart of gold), while, Timid Masses live in the heart of the heads of states (8+5= 4 Man with a heart of clay)... Both of these Men are sharing the 2 Penny.... In science, unlike peers attract...

Our heads of states who are feeling of other advanced countries are playing the benevolent role to them...
