One of the socio-political groups in Nigeria who have been identified as the Nigeria Political Science Association (NPSA), has squarely fingered the factor of political exclusiveness as being responsible for the insecurity challenges confronting the country.
The NPSA had stressed for the need for Nigeria and her citizens to try to imbibe the culture of political inclusiveness to enable it get out of its insecurity challenges.
Addressing journalists in Ilorin on Thursday on the state of the nation, Professor Hassan Saliu who is the national president of NPSA had reiterated that all forms of security challenges across the nation’s geopolitical zones were as a result of political exclusiveness. He also blamed the menace of the high spate of money politics as witnessed in the recent presidential primaries of leading parties in the country on the problem of exclusiveness.

The NPSA president advised Nigerians to preoccupy themselves with how to elect the person that knows how to fix the country as president in 2023 rather than dissipating energy on a Muslim/Muslim ticket.
He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for not influencing the outcome of the APC presidential primary election.
Saliu said Nigerians need a president whose body language will not influence government decisions on national issues. He added that Nigeria needs a president that would restore the dignity of Nigerians and uphold the rule of law, constitution and fundamental human rights.
“What the NPSA is after is the election of a president that knows how to fix Nigeria”, he declared.
Saliu said the NPSA had organized five political platforms in its efforts to promote good governance in the country, adding that the association will soon publish a book on governance in contemporary Nigeria.
