PEOPLES
PROGRESSIVE PARTY was
founded on a platform of returning government, electoral
control, spending control, policing, and political authority
to the teaming masses and communities of Nigeria, who has
been systematically and institutionally abused,
disenfranchised and enslaved, rendered powerless and
politically irrelevant in their own land by the political
class from the time of the colonialists to the present day.
We
are a product of necessity born by a group of dedicated and
patriotic non-establishment and non-conforming politicians
while participating at the 2005/2006
PEOPLES' NATIONAL CONFERENCE organized by the
Pro-democracy group, PRONACO.
The party is fast assuming the consciousness of the nation.
We
are a non-personality based party. We applied for
recognition to the electoral body in Nigeria, Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) in August 2006 and on
the 30th of October 2006, Peoples Progressive Party was
accorded full recognition as a legally empowered political
party in Nigeria.
In
a record time of six months, the party established far
reaching presence in all the 36 states of the federation. We
are currently building on that success, translating it into
sustainable grassroots activism.
We
need your membership and support to pursue this laudable
goal to rescue our country from corruption, elect patriotic
citizens and fix Government.
