Don advocates political party reform

Professor of Political Science and Public Administration, Edo University Iyamho (EUI), Stephen Omodia, has called for reform of political parties in the country.

He said the call for reform has become imperative, since political parties were characterised by ethnicism, weak organisation network and poor democratic culture.

Omodia made the call yesterday while delivering the first inaugural lecture of the institution entitled ‘Bourgeoisification of the Nigerian Political Process and the Search for Good Governance’.

“If good governance is to be established and enhanced in Nigeria’s political process, political elite recruitment must be reformed in such a way that enables credibility, accountability and for people-centred governance,” he said.
