A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State and national coordinator G4N (Transform Nigeria Initiative), Princess Gloria Adebajo-Fraser has warned against the growing trend of regional and ethnic politics in Nigeria.
She said in a statement yesterday in Abuja that Nigerians are now politically aware to vote for personality and not party as was demonstrated in the National Assembly elections on the 9th.
“I want to warn against the emerging trend of regional and ethnic politics in Nigeria. This is not very healthy for a modern democracy and does not promote patriotism and capacity building for the millennium. Regional politics is retrogressive and should be discouraged,” she said.
She commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his political reforms and ensuring a level playing field for all politicians irrespective of political affiliation, religion, social status or ethnic background.
