Political economist Pat Utomi stated that political parties in Nigeria have lost their voices, emphasising that the only serious resistance to the Federal Government comes from a few social media users.
Utomi made the comment in Lagos during the David Oladipo Leadership Roundtable, which was themed “Nigeria and Opposition Politics”.
He bemoaned that most opposition parties had lost their voices as a result of persecution and internal conflict.
“The only strong opposition we have today is a few active citizens on social media. Outside that, no political party is challenging this government,” Utomi said.
He faulted the silence of opposition parties on electoral reforms and constitutional violations.
