One of the 21 newly registered political parties, the Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN) has said the quest by Nigerians to own the party that can displace the ruling APC is one of the reasons why there is no room for godfatherism in the party.
This position was made known by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Barrister Yelwa Abubakar, yesterday in Abuja. He said the GDPN came to bridge the gap between the aged, the youths and women.
According to her, without any godfather, the party had reached out to over five million Nigerians in 25 countries, saying they had been building the structures since January 2017.
“Nigerian youths should stop collecting peanuts from the old generation who should have honourably relinquished power to them and join forces with GDPN and take over.
“Our ideology is simple, to reduce the movement of people from the rural areas to the urban,” she said.
