01:33 You should be able to mention the organizational structure

01:46 aims and objectives of Nigeria Advanced Party.

01:50 Again, you should be able to state the performance

01:53 or achievement of Nigeria Advanced Party.

01:56 Now, let us look at the formation

01:58 or origin of People's Redemption Party.

02:02 How was this party formed?

02:04 Let us see, with the formation of the National Movement,

02:08 which eventually became the NPN,

02:11 Nigerian National Party of Nigeria.

02:15 This political party came up as National Movement.

02:19 So before the formation of the NPN,

02:22 a group of radical socialists emerged in Northern States,

02:27 strongly opposed to the conservative National Movement.

02:32 So this radical socialist came up

02:35 from National Movement that led to the formation of NPN.

02:40 These were the people that formed this PRP,

02:45 People's Redemption Party.

02:47 This group of people included the public servants,

02:50 like Abu Bakrimi and Balarebe Musa,

02:55 as well as university lecturers,

02:58 such as A.D. Haja, Bola, Bola, Usman, and Lakobalogu

03:03 at the Ahmadu Bello University's area.

03:06 The group lacked recognized leader

03:10 when Aminu Kanu,

03:12 wore out with the National Movement.

03:14 At that time, Aminu Kanu,

03:16 wore out with the National Movement.

03:18 So he was welcomed as the leader of People's Redemption Party.

03:23 Meaning that when he wore out with the National Movement,

03:27 that led to NPN,

03:29 he now became the leader of People's Redemption Party.

03:35 Samuelu Koku, who came with him

03:39 from the National Movement,

03:40 became the National Secretary of the Party.

03:44 Now, this is the organizational structure.

03:46 How was this party, People's Redemption Party?

03:49 How was this structure?

03:51 Let us see.

03:52 The party had several organs.

03:54 It had several organs.

03:56 The National Directorate was composed of National Officers,

04:01 Chairman of State Directorate,

04:04 the party parliamentary leader in each state assembly.

04:09 The Senate, the House of Representatives,

04:12 plus two other representatives

04:15 selected to represent each state in the federation,

04:19 among which there had to be three female members.

04:23 So this, we are the organizational structure

04:25 of People's Redemption Party.

04:27 All the organs of the party,

04:29 we are the National Working Committee, NWC,

04:32 which was made up of the National Officers,

04:35 and they met frequently to exercise the powers

04:38 of the National Directorates.

04:42 They had also a state directorate,

04:46 which had power to hold conferences

04:48 as which each local branch of the party was represented

04:53 by two delegates.

04:55 Now, they also had local branches.

04:59 The local branches had their own directorates

05:02 and chapters based on the grassroots,

05:04 the wards, the towns, the village, and clans.

05:09 So each register branch elected,

05:11 each local officers annually.

05:14 So these particular local branches

05:16 was the one that was closer to the people.

05:20 Closer to the people at the grassroots.

05:24 So now, let's also see the sources of finance

05:26 for People's Redemption Party,

05:28 how they got their phone to take care of,

05:32 that they used to take care of the political party.

05:35 One is a location from Federco donations,

05:38 federal electoral commission.

05:41 It was the electoral commission

05:44 that took care of the election in the second republic

05:49 between 1979 and 1983.

05:53 So this commission, from time to time,

05:56 they give allocations to political parties.

05:59 So this is one of the way they got the source, their finance.

06:03 Another one is membership fees and levies.

06:06 Members of the political party, they pay fee,

06:09 they pay levied, they levied them from time to time.

06:12 And from there, the political party, P.A.R.P,

06:15 also gets their phone.

06:18 This is the ends and objectives of People's Redemption Party,

06:22 the ends and objectives.

06:24 Would they intend to achieve if elected into power?

06:28 Number one, full national liberation.

06:32 They intend to get a full national liberation

06:35 that is economically and politically.

06:39 Unity and true democracy towards a boy and national economy.

06:44 So these People's Redemption Party,

06:48 they planned, their intention was to get a national liberation

06:53 for the economy to be liberated,

06:57 for there to be unity and people to focus in the economy

07:02 in order to boost our economy.

07:05 Another one of their aims is the equality

07:09 in the distribution of wealth and job creation.

07:12 This is another of the intention to see that there is

07:16 the equality of distribution of wealth.

07:19 That wealth was being distributed equally national-wide

07:23 and also to create job opportunities for everybody.

07:28 Another one of their aims was promotion of African culture,

07:32 tradition and social values.

07:34 They intend also to promote the culture of Africans,

07:38 the our culture, traditions and values.

07:43 Also, their aim again was to discipline the citizens,

07:48 leadership by example and focus action,

07:51 discipline the citizens in the sense that as leaders,

07:54 they should also be disciplined, they should lead by example.

07:58 Another of their aim was mass literacy

08:01 to make sure that many people attained at least

08:05 go have opportunity of going to school.

08:09 Another one is promotion of agricultural

08:12 through a national focus on helping the peasants farmers.

08:17 This was also one of their aims and objectives

08:21 to help the peasants farmers end up by giving them

08:25 materials that they need to use to boost the agricultural sector.

08:32 Let us see the achievements of people's redemption party.

08:35 What did they achieve during their time?

08:38 Number one, people's redemption party won gubernatorial election

08:43 in two states, namely Kanu and Kaduna as at that time.

08:47 Number two, it secured seven seats

08:50 in the Senate and 49 in the House of Representatives.

08:56 Again, people's redemption party controlled Kanu State House of Assembly.

09:02 The people's redemption governors abolished Harajee and Jagali Taksis,

09:07 which had been used as instruments of oppression

09:11 in several parties of the North.

09:14 This method of collecting tax was the what the Norton

09:17 has used in collecting cartotags as at that time,

09:21 even before the coming of the British.

09:23 So it was the people's redemption party that abolished these tax.

09:28 Maybe in case you see such a question in your SSC past questions,

09:34 maybe you have been asked the political party that abolished the cartotags.

09:39 Please, the answer is people's redemption party of 1979 and 1983.

09:46 Another of their achievements is in Kaduna,

09:49 the governor, Balarabe Musa, abolished cartotags again,

09:53 pro-tax and similar taxes for poorly paid workers.

09:59 Now let's all see the next party, the Nigeria Advanced Party, NAP.

10:06 To trace the origin or formation of Nigerian advanced party,

10:14 it was registered in 1978.

10:17 This party was registered by FedExo Federal Electoral Commission

10:23 for the 1979 elections.

10:25 It failed to contest election in 1979.

10:30 Why? Because it did not meet up to the expectation.

10:33 So it was later registered on 25th of May 1982

10:38 to contest election in the 1983 general elections.

10:44 So this NAP was not able to contest election in 1979.

10:50 But in 1983, after the registration of in 1982,

10:55 it contested election with the other five political parties,

11:00 the NPP, GNPP, PRP and this one.

11:07 Now, the party had changed, it had radical change as its watchword.

11:13 They believe in radical change and believe in a revolution

11:17 need to be used in order to solve Nigerian's problems.

11:21 So a legal lawyer, known as Tunji Bridgeweight,

11:24 was the founder of this political party.

11:27 He was the founder, the leader and also the presidential candidate of NAP.

11:34 They had other prominent members like Eweka,

11:39 Oye me lupé, Usman Giro, Dare, or Mobile.

11:43 Josef Sodi Rehye, Uba, Uba Muhammad,

11:48 Musa Salami, and Ruben Kutok.

11:51 These were members, prominent members of NAP.

11:55 So the party contested only 16 out of 19 states.

12:00 You know, then Nigeria was just 19 states of the federation.

12:06 So it contested 16 out of the 19 governorship seats and one new election.

12:12 So this party did not win any election at the state and federal level.

12:17 Also, it did not succeed, it had ever succeeded in raising the awareness involved

12:23 with young women and men in politics.

12:26 Organizational structure of NAP.

12:31 How was it structured? Let us see.

12:33 NAP had its national and state executive committees.

12:38 It had its national and state executives committees.

12:43 The highest body, then, was the Congress of the party,

12:47 which because of the newness of the party could not meet frequently.

12:51 So the founder, Tunji Bratwitz, was nominated as the president of the party.

12:57 So membership of the Congress was made up of delegates

13:02 from the state branches of the political party.

13:06 So let us see. The national officers also of the party,

13:10 the state chairman of the party.

13:11 This body, they were all formulated.

13:14 The body policy positions of the political party.

13:18 They had also adapt in state levels,

13:23 the local branches of the party in the local government level.

13:26 Let us see how this political party gets their sources.

13:32 Got their sources of finance.

13:34 Number one, true membership fees.

13:36 Members of the political party, they pay fee, they pay levy.

13:40 From there, they get their source of finance.

13:43 Number two, donations of members.

13:45 From time to time, maybe there is any program they have.

13:48 Sometimes donate to the party.

13:51 From there, the party got their money that they use to finance the party.

13:56 Federico allowance, Feder electoral commission.

14:00 From time to time, give them allowance.

14:02 From this, they got their money that they used to take care of the political party.

14:08 The aims and objectives of NAP, this was their intention.

14:13 What they intend to achieve if elected into power.

14:16 This party, like I said before, believed in radical change.

14:22 That in true radical change, Nigerian problem can be solved.

14:25 One of their aims was to eradicate

14:28 mosquitoes and rats across the boundaries of Nigeria.

14:32 Again, for a low cost health insurance policy for all Nigerians.

14:38 To make sure that Nigerians treat without much spending.

14:42 Again, to establish the universal electrification system

14:49 that will replace the National Electric Power Authority.

14:53 They plan to bring up universal electrification system

14:57 so that it can replace the Nepal and the problem of power can be solved or could be solved.

15:05 Another one was this must be free flow of water.

15:09 They also intend to provide free flow of water for every Nigerians.

15:14 This, we are the aims and objectives of NAP.

15:20 Another one is socialism.

15:22 That is freedom from exploitation and harassment would be applied.

15:26 They believed or they intend to bring up socialism

15:31 in the sense that there will be freedom from exploitation.

15:35 We are by because when the state controls the means of production and distribution,

15:40 there will be no exploitation for the low class.

15:45 Another one is a revolution in agriculture.

15:49 We lead to surplus food and surplus money.

15:53 They also intend to bring a revolution in agriculture receptor.

15:57 By soldering, there will be surplus food and surplus money

16:00 from food exports as well as industrialization.

16:03 Also, another aim of this party was all Nigerians

16:08 we have a health insurance policy for small fee.

16:11 Like I said before, Nigerians will be treated with a small fee

16:16 not spending a lot of money in order to take a medical treatment.

16:21 Another one is modern roads, sidewalks and compulsory accommodation

16:25 for workers who will also be provided for them

16:30 if today we are being elected into part.

16:33 Another one is pupils and students should be regarded as workers

16:37 and so will be given monthly allowance.

16:39 So this political party also intend to pay these pupils and students

16:45 from amount of money. They should be regarded as workers in the country.

16:51 From all these, let's all see the achievements or contributions of NAP.

16:59 Number one, the party did not win any electoral seat

17:04 of the legislative house in the 19 states of the federation.

17:10 It did not win any seat in the legislative house.

17:14 Number two, it did not win any seats in the national assembly.

17:18 Number three, the party did not win any electoral seat

17:24 of the legislative house in the 19 states of the federation.

17:28 It did not win any seats in the national assembly.

17:31 They had less than 10% of the total votes cast.

17:34 The presidential candidate and his running mate had the list number of votes

17:40 at the presidential election of 1983.

17:44 The party had radical youth as members and some contested for political offices.

17:50 Very large number of each candidate lost their deposits at the election.

17:56 So in a nutshell, Nigeria advanced party did not win any electoral seats

18:05 both in the local, in the state, federal, the national assembly and so on.

18:12 So they did not win any seat at all and it was a minor political party.

18:20 Now we have come to the end of today's lesson.

18:24 I would like to ask you some questions based on your...

18:29 So you can use it at least to assess yourself.

18:32 Number one, explain the origin of people's redemption party.

18:37 Number two, state five achievements of people's redemption party.

18:43 Number three, outline five objectives of Nigeria advanced party.

18:48 Four, state five, performance of Nigeria advanced party.

18:54 Thanks for watching.
