The INEC argument that Nigeria has too many registered political parties as a reason to deregister political parties are fallacious, misleading and a faulty reductio de absurdum at best only propaganda being orchestrated by INEC  Commissioner for Voter’s Education Barrister Festus Okoye and INEC Spokesperson.

Nigerians are not stupid nor are they illiterates; A Nation cannot be an island unto itself; that is the more reason a comparison of what obtains in other climes is necessary before jumping to the conclusion as to whether Nigeria has more than necessary political parties for our population of 250 million peoples and a GNP of $1,12 Trillion Dollars.

In this contest of universal comparison with other democracies of the world showed that Nigeria with 91 registered political parties had the least number of political parties in comparison with her large population of over 250 million peoples and a GNP of over $1.12 Trillion Dollars and the largest economy in Africa and the third-largest democracy in the world.

In other climes like India has 2,599 registered political parties to a population of 1.33 Trillion peoples and a GDP of $2.6 Trillion Dollars, South Africa has 560 registered political parties with a population of 40 million peoples just about the size of Eastern Region of Nigeria by population and GDP. The Benin Republic has over 301 registered political parties almost 4 times the number of Nigeria’s 91 parties and has only a population of 11.2 million peoples and GNP of 25 billion dollars just about the size of Edo state by population, size, and GNP. The UK has 492 parties to a population of 66.4 million peoples, Russia has 87 political parties to a population of 145 million, USA has 1200 Political Parties to a population of 325.7Million people. France has 96 political parties to 66.99 million peoples, Germany has 89 political parties to a population of 83.9 million peoples, Senegal has 250 political parties to a population of 15.8 million peoples and a GDP of $16.4 Billion dollars just about the size of the Kebbi state of Nigeria. Togo has 48 political Parties with a Population of 7.9 million peoples and a GNP of $12.2 billion dollars just about the size of Anambra state in population and GNP and territorial integrity. The Gambia has 96 political parties to a population of 2.42 million people, Ethiopia has 76 parties to a population of 114 million peoples, Turkey has 87 political parties to 84.3 million peoples.

Our research on if any democratic country for the past 80 years has deregistered political parties for any reason in the entire world is that no country in the entire world have ever deregistered political parties after registration. The registered parties are allowed to grow organically from small, to middle age and to old age and to die naturally or merge with other political parties.

The question is from where did Nigeria have the culture and idea of deregistering political parties? These were the kangaroo constitutional alterations started by the PDP government in 2007 in order to evolve into a one-party state and to rule Nigeria forever; the PDP then ruling government pushed into the constitution obnoxious, diabolical alternations as to win one seat in a general election for the reason of continuous existence of political parties. 

The APC failed government which is a splinter and offshoot of the PDP met this trend and also are articulating it through the unconstitutional illegal section 225A of the 4th constitutional alternation in order to form a one-party state of APC to rule Nigeria forever. So the propaganda that Nigeria Parties are too many is a fallacy, untrue and a faulty reductio de absurdum addressed to achieve the diabolical plot of establishing the APC government as a one-party state to rule Nigeria forever. 

In the theories of Advance Mathematical induction of differentiation and Partial Fractions when you continue to deregister political parties after every general election for whatever flimsy reasons and register new Parties you will impoverish the political constituency, wary them out, outspent them and after a portable repeated delisting you would end up with one Party remaining; as in a continuum of Self destruct of the polity.

As explained above all Nigerians now know the truth and we appeal to you all to allow Multi-Party democracy to grow and flourish in Nigeria.  Nigeria is ripe for at least 200 political parties which if well supported could play oversight functions of Job creation, invest in farming, healthcare, banking, support for youth women and the vulnerable, invest in Agriculture, industries, Education, environment etc…which are provided for in the various manifestos of these political parties.
We must tell you that the federal government of Nigeria does not fund any political parties nor does she give them grants or any financial support, so the parties are not a burden to the taxpayers as the promoters use their personal resources to fund these parties and contribute to the advancement of the Nigerian Federation as stakeholders.

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja under the incorruptible remarkable Justice Anwuli Chikere on the 17th of February 2020 has stopped INEC from deregistering any political party in Nigeria through a permanent interlocutory injunction but INEC has refused to obey the court orders.
We solicit your understanding and cooperation now that you know the truth of the diabolical plots of the cabals to strangulate the gains of multi-party democracy from the peoples of Nigeria and establish a feudal one party aristocracy it is your duty to stand up and say no to this diabolical agenda of the sophists.
