2019: Governors, Lawmakers Meet To Form New Party. News by Stingman: 11:33am On Jan 24, 2018
overnors, lawmakers and political leaders from both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), met on Tuesday to continue discussions on the formation of a new political party.

ThisDay reports that the move to form another major party was in a bid to wrestle power from the APC in 2019.


The meeting on Tuesday night was a follow up to previous meetings held by the group in Dubai, Saudi Arabia and London.

A source explained the two objectives of the new political force.

“One is the Nigeria Intervention Movement (NIM) that is not a political party but is trying to galvanise professionals, civil society groups and activists to support credible candidates in different parties.

“The second is an amorphous group of political leaders, serving and former governors and National Assembly members of both parties, as well as retired military leaders who have been meeting in places like Dubai, Saudi Arabia and London to fashion out a modus vivendi for the new party that will challenge both the APC and PDP,” he said.


He also admitted that the new party faces a race against time to be registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the elections.

“Since time is of the essence and most of the politicians who want to dump the APC and PDP for this new party know that there might not be enough time to get it registered, they are also on the hunt for one of the already registered political parties that they can use as a platform to actualise their goals,” he added.

Same old same old. Scammers

In Donald Duke I believe. Donald Duke for president... Let's shift the status quo in Nigeria and vote in someone who's detribalized. Until Nigerians learn to vote for an individual devoid of tribal sentiments, we'd keep getting it wrong with our choice of leaders

That will take about 100 years. Nigeria is still delicate and diverse.

For peace to reign until Nigeria matures politically, power should be shared among the Six zones for now. With that, there will be peace and people will have a sense of belonging to their country. Detribalized Nigeria can be found in every region.

I use Enugu state as an example. Power revolves around the three senatorial zone. This is why Enugu is one of the best states with peace in Nigeria.

Creating new parties is not the solution...abi dem go import angels to the party?

Use rope tie goat or use goat tie rope, is the same thing...

We need new people that have not tasted any government position or appointment before.

Any party who professes to restructure will win the SE, SW SS, and middle belt regions.

The country should develop as per regions.

Can you image what will happen to 2nd Niger bridge if the SE region is given 1$ billion to develop the infrastructure dear to them? Every region will choose what they need to develop. Unlike now that the FG chooses what and where to develop...which points to the north and SW...ignoring SS and parts of SS.

Every part of the country should feel the effect of governance.

A fraction of the Nigerian problem resides inside each Nigerian. Break us into whatever fraction or group...the fraction in each of us combines with the fractions in others to make a whole again.

We have had people without prior political experience contest for offices and Nigerians didn't vote for them, if we needed technocrats, Prof Pat Utomi one of the brightest economists we have produced didn't receive up to 100,000 votes.

I think we should continue in this our trial by error approach till we get it right. At least we wouldn't have learnt this much if we didn't change the past government.

We need to keep voting out underperforming governments and parties till the politians understand that the electorate is King...

And if I mention Gani Fawehinmi...surely there will be something that disqualifies him too...

So who exactly will get Nigerian's support without fault finding and comments like yours?

You vote them out, they move to the ruling party. I think a constitution amendment to strip politicians who defect off their position is required

We have to re-oriented how politicians behave in this Part of the world

When we get to a point when political parties begin to loose elections not because of their candidates but because of the character of their members, then these parties will begin to screen the people they admit into their midst.

It's going to be a long and slow progress but i can't see any other option except we want to continue to deceive ourselves by "praying" about it.
