In truth there are no true political parties in Nigeria. What we have are ideologically non specific political platforms available to the rich and heavily influential persons to contest elections.

It is therefore not a surprise that the various anomalies being exhibited by both PDP & APC in the present imbroglio going on in Edo politics.
They are educated as to why a certain candidate is preferred and thereafter persuaded to seek another office or wait till the party wins when they will be compensated.
Especially if leadership is based on the holding of political offices.
In a constituent, for a pure technocrat appointed a minister becomes the political leader of that constituency is wrong.
This is not a strange consideration.
We need to allow ideological parties with robust and practicable manifestos to emerge.
Leadership must be based on knowledge, party loyalty, commitment and length of service.
In a country where politics is sadly everything, then we need to get that politics right.
I HUMBLY SUBMIT.
