The Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC has urged UnitedNations, UN to work closely with Nigerian government and all registeredpolitical parties in Nigeria to further deepen the country’s democracy.
IPAC National Chairman, Peter Ameh made the call in a statementin Abuja.
Ameh made the call while reacting to the statement credited tothe U.N  Special Representative of the Secretary General and Head of theU.N Office for West Africa, Mohammed Ibn Chambas on numbers of registeredparties in Nigeria.
He expressed concern that Chambas during his visit to theIndependent National Electoral Commission, INEC said that the high number ofpolitical parties in West African countries posed challenges to electorate.
Ameh, who is also the National Chairman of Progressives PeoplesAlliance, PPA said the position of Chambas was condemnable, as itencouraged autocracy.
He said it was indeed of great concern to hear Chambasexpressing such views as he did, in 21 century when democracyand world peace was under threat in most African countries as a result of dictatorshipsand perceived centralisation of governments.
