Political analysts have said that having 91 in a developing country like Nigeria was unnecessary and awkward and abysmal.
They made the assertion while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Lagos on political developments in the country.
NAN reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Aug. 16, issued certificates to 23 newly registered political parties, raising the number of registered parties in Nigeria to 91.
The Commission in a statement issued by Mohammed Haruna, its National Commissioner and Member, Voter Education and Publicity Committee, in Abuja said that it was the last round of the registration of parties until after the general elections on Feb. 16, 2019.
