Post by: Shola Sholaz on Aug 12, 2013, 11:19 AM
HISTORY of Democracy in Nigeria has shown that it has not been easy for opposition parties since the second Republic to form strong mega party to tame activities of the leading party in power.
.
Since 1999 when democracy returned to the country, opposition parties has failed to form a formidable party, and this has given more momentum to the leading party producing a second class leadership which can hardly differentiate between right and wrong.
.
The opposition started from APP in 1998. It was made of a coalition of associations which received full support under the regime of late General Sani Abacha.
.
PDP under the candidacy of Olusegun Obasanjo won the presidential elections in 1999. APP and AD then formed a coalition to contest the presidential election. Olu falae of the AD became the presidential flag bearer while Umoru Shinkafi of the APP was nominated as running mate. But lost the election.

All this political parties should just focus on helping Nigerians when they're elected other than this unhealthy competition they engage in.
