Back then, credible people were appointed to be the financial secretary of the Action Group Party.


Imagine if Awolowo had appointed someone like the Iragbiji born cocaine lover to be the financial secretary of the party, bullion vans filled with shillings would have been trouping in and out of his Bourdillion residence while he sniff his whitish stuff at the back of his official Peugeot 504 car to cool off.

Joining most parties in Nigeria including the major ones is for free now sad

If you want to join the PDP or APC, nobody will ask you to pay any fee, it will be done for free.

That is why ordinary members no longer have a say in party affairs. Their choice of candidates no longer matters,the Godfathers that finance now makes the rules.

It was not like that even in the second republic that got truncated. You register and pay monthly dues as a member,all donations got declared. Grassroot meetings were like weekly or so.No one dares spend a dime for party project without your knowledge.

It was not possible not to perfom as a political office holder.Not that it eradicated corruption but party members seeing themselves as stake holders reduced corruption
