He said: “INEC tried to restrict the registration of political parties, the judiciary said no you can register anybody who wants to but the result is that, we have a long ballot paper which poses challenges on election day with regard to how people are going to identify who to vote for.

“I can tell you how many requests I have from these so called political parties that if you pay me this we will announce that we are supporting your Presidential candidate. So people have formed political parties as platform for trading.”
