“Kindly use your good offices to save Nigeria by scrapping all registered political parties and cede their assets and movable property to Government.
“The offices of the President, and National Assembly Members are to be contested by two parties and independents. The offices of the Governor, Members of Houses of Assembly, Chairmen and Councillors are to be contested on zero party.
“By this, the Governor shall be really executive and no longer subjugated. This surely shall check wanton use of Federal might to support unpopular non performing Governor of its party and use the same Federal might to undermine a popular performing Governor of opposing party. Obviously this conforms with your agenda of renewed hope.”
