The Niger State Governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, on Saturday disclosed that one party system in the country will not do Nigerians any favour as far as the future of Nigeria is concerned.
Aliyu said in Minna after casting his vote in the governorship and House of Assembly elections in Niger State: “We must do everything possible to sustain the Peoples Democratic Party.
“We don’t want a one party state in the country.
“We want credible and health competition at least between the two major political parties.
“We must do everything possible to sustain the Peoples Democratic Party so that democracy will be entrenched properly.
“If you recall, when the All Progressives Congress came together, I was the first person to say that, that was good for Nigerian democracy because it will put PDP on its feet and the federal sector, not only putting it to its feet but will be reorganized.
“We have to reorganize to make sure that there is a credible opposition at the centre and with what is on the table, Nigeria will realise the need to have two parties going together side by side.
“In this elections, believe me you can see by the number of people coming out.
“Like I said last time was a kind of mobilization that was done as a result of issues of Boko Haram, economy and competence and I think Nigerians have made their point in the last elections.”
The governor however believes that the PDP at the end of the day will make it at the state level.
He said: “In this local election, people can be accessed by what they are capable of doing and what they will do in the future.
“Based on that they cast their votes accordingly.”
