Rights activist, Aisha Yesufu has pointed out one of the
biggest problems in Nigerian politics.
Yesufu said the seamless defection of politicians from one
party to another is a major issue in Nigerian politics.
Posting on X, she emphasized the need for laws that would
ensure politicians can change parties but must leave behind any positions or
benefits won with the previous party.
According to Yesufu, without such laws, the trend of
politicians moving to the ruling party at both state and Federal levels will
persist.
She wrote: “One of the biggest problems we have in Nigerian
politics is this defection from one party to another seamlessly.
”We must have codified laws that expressly state that your
right of association is guaranteed and you can defect from one party to another
BUT whatever you won has to be left behind!
”Until that is done, we would continue to have this unhealthy
situation where everyone wants to move to the ruling party be it at the State
or Federal level.”
