Most of the recently concluded primary elections across various political parties were fraudulent, the Director, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, has said.
Amadi made this known in an interview on Arise Television, saying the results increased internal conflicts and weakened party leadership.
He said the parties do not have enough strength to discipline aspirants and members.
“Most of the party primaries were fraudulent. Some of the aspirants for the House of Representatives were also favored by zoning but somehow they don’t get into the list, so governors’ influence matters.
“Again, if you look at the chaos in the parties’ organization, new entrants come in and push out old members. For example in Delta State where the former governor, Ifeanyi Okowa came in to unseat Ned Nwoko.
“It’s not that Nwoko and the likes of him didn’t perform, but some structural changes have dislocated them,” he said.
