“In Nigeria today, there’s no discipline on the part of many of our politicians. They jump from one party to another”
.
“More worrisome is the calibre of some politicians who supposed to be role models to the upcoming ones”
“for Our democracy to thrive and sustainable, there must be Political discipline, selfless service and respect for the Party’s Constitution,hierrachy ,ideals and aspirations”
