Former military president Ibrahim Babangida says since 1999, the country’s political parties have lacked “distinct ideologies”.

In a statement on Monday to commemorate Democracy Day, Babangida called for a unique two-party structure which he said would “promote and protect the nation’s democratic institutions”.

“Our political parties since May 29, 1999 have no distinct ideologies with internal squabbles and cross carpeting that is not healthy to our democracy. We must also appreciate the strength and value of our diversity, with due understanding and recognition of the interests of various ethnic nationalities in our hearts,” the statement read.

“Nigeria has had its share of conflicts and political instability, just like many other nations and states, but we have always survived against all odds.

“Our journey to nationhood and democracy from 1960 to date has been characterised by upheavals and turbulences, yet we must cherish our commitment to remain a united country, in brotherhood and respect for one another.

“We must also appreciate the strength and value of our diversity, with due understanding and recognition of the interests of various ethnic nationalities in our heart.”

He said the role of the military in nation-building should not be forgotten.

“In whatever circumstance we find ourselves, we must continue to exercise democratic tenants, which promote freedom and respect of one another,” it read.

The former military president expressed hope that the 2019 election would further consolidate on democratic governance, freedom and security.

Cross carpeting is worse than double-dating.

You did not respect the tenet of Democracy while you were a serving military president.

You can not come overnight and start teaching us DEMOCRACY.

Which of the our Democracy? Is it the one you Babangida help to send to early grave in June 12? This man should be adviced to shut his stinking mouth this moment.

In a country where expediency reigns supreme over principle the least to expect are politicians/political parties that upholds distinct ideologies.

we accept the truth but the mouth which the truth is coming out is as smelly as a pit toilet

I stop listening to these kind of people. Im still searching for the power in one of their book

yes, personally I'm against this idea of cross carpeting by elected persons, any elected person wishing to decamp for whatever reason should automatically loss his/her seat, you don't run away from your house because of problems you stay strong n try finding solutions to them to make the house conducive for you.

IBB Na only you waka come?

You think we are kids not to know your antics of yesteryears?

Sho mo age mi??

With our type of Presidencial System, more like a Unitary System and different from The U.S type, until our 36 States are made fully autonomous, every Nigerian wants to be President. And two parties are grossly inadequate for this our peculiar ambition.
