Nigeria not ripe for 2 party system- CSOs

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Nigeria, have expressed reservations over the domination of the political space by the two main parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A cross section of those who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Sunday said that the country was not ripe for the system.

Mr Auwal Rafsanjani, the Chairman, Transition Monitoring Group, said that the situation had created a serious threat to multi-party democracy in Nigeria.

Rafsanjani said that the two major political parties -the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have practically hijacked public offices and were also controlling the electoral process through their influence.
