01:50 that formed the Nigerian people's party NPP.

01:55 All the members of the party,

02:38 We are members of the first republic, N.C. N.C.

02:48 Then we have the organizational structure of NPP.

02:52 The NPP organized its members.

02:55 Niger people's party organized its members

02:57 at the following levels.

02:58 The world, the town, the district level

03:02 and the local government area.

03:05 This world, the level that is closer to the people

03:09 at the grassroots.

03:11 So each had an executive committee.

03:15 There were also state organizations

03:17 which each state having a consultative committee.

03:21 The executive committee, working committee,

03:24 the parliamentary council of the state conventions.

03:28 At the national level was the National Parliamentary Council

03:33 which was a caucus of the party's federal legislators

03:38 to coordinate the working of the members of the party

03:43 and the national assembly.

03:46 So there were also members.

03:49 They had National Executive Committee

03:52 and E.C. at the national level,

03:54 comprising the national officers

03:56 or state chairman, post-national chairman

04:01 and members holding key positions

04:11 They also had support for the...

04:15 support from NPP was from the old Anambra Animu state

04:19 in the east and play to a venue state in the north.

04:29 They had an alliance with NPP and the ruling party

04:32 in the national assembly to facilitate

04:35 the sources of NPP and controlled federal government bills

04:39 in the houses.

04:40 Remember that these political parties

04:43 were among the second Republic political parties.

06:06 Number one, to promote the unity of Nigeria.

06:10 They intend to promote the unity of Nigeria

06:14 and sustain her political and territorial sovereignty.

06:18 They notice that Nigeria is a country

06:22 that has diverse religions, diverse languages,

06:27 so they intend to bring unity irrespective

06:31 of the tribe or language or religion of a person.

06:36 So another aim and objective of this political party

06:39 is to work for full employment of Nigerian's mampar

06:43 and natural resources with a view

06:46 to building self-reliant economy.

06:48 This political party, they intend to work towards full employment

07:13 the language of the person, to make sure everybody is equal.

07:16 That is world or world, one of their aims and objectives,

07:21 including the description of national resources.

07:24 They believe that when all these things is being put in place,

07:27 there will be development in national resources.

07:31 Again, of their aim is to work towards a truly secular state.

07:36 This upholds democratic principles and fundamental human rights.

07:42 Also to work towards feeding a shelter in Nigeria's citizens of Nigeria.

07:48 That is another of their intentions, another of their aim,

08:21 not minding the state or region the person came from,

08:30 without regard to ethnic or religious affliction.

08:35 So let us now see the performance and achievements of NPP,

09:07 of presidential system of government.

09:11 They tried, in the secondary public,

09:14 to experiment the presidential success

09:17 of presidential system of government.

09:23 in producing potential prominent politicians in Nigeria.

09:28 This NPP, Nigerian people's party tried a lot

09:32 to produce potential prominent politicians in Nigeria.

09:38 By signing a coalition accord with NPN,

09:41 the NPP saved the collapse of presidential system of government

09:45 at its early inception.

09:48 Also, the party also played opposition role successfully.

10:24 Because of the problem that came up,

10:26 of who would be the party chairman and presidential candidate,

10:30 made him to leave NPP to form great Nigerian people's party.

10:36 He wanted to be the chairman of the party,

10:38 and at the same time be the presidential candidate.
