Buba Galadima to speak at PTCIJ’s debate on intra-party democracy

Premium Times Center for Investigative journalism (PTCIJ) is set to hold a debate on the challenges and opportunities in intra-party democracy.

According to a statement by the organisation, the debate, to be held via a webinar, will take place on Wednesday.

The panellists expected at the webinar include Buba Galadima, a politician, and Hassan Idayat, executive director of the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD).

Others are Ezenwa Nwagwu, executive director of Peering Advocacy and Advancement Center in Africa (PAACA), and Leonard Nzenwa, national chairman of African Action Congress (AAC) and Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC).

Mboho Eno, PTCIJ’s programme manager in charge of advocacy and accountability, said of the event: “With the recent rise of voter apathy in Nigeria, the idea of intra-party democracy has acquired an expanding consideration, in part as a way of bringing the accountability of government to citizens to debate, but more importantly as a way of assessing the stability and legitimacy of democracies within which political parties compete for power.”

The virtual debate, to be moderated by Kemi Busari, is executed through the Media in Nigerian Election (MiNE) Project of PTCIJ.
