Aboluwoye who stated this in Akure, Ondo State capital, while delivering lecture during an award night organised by SouthWest Herald Magazine, said the multi-party system has created unnecessary challenges for the country.
According to him, with a minimal number of political parties, the unnecessary bottlenecks attached to the electoral processes in the country will be resolved.
The Professor of Chemistry, while speaking during the lecture with the title “Importance of Electoral Tribunal in Development of Democracy” alleged that politicians have been exploiting the process for their own selfish advantage.

who was the Chairman on the occasion commended the publisher for putting together the event which he said will further ensure stakeholders continue to contribute to national discuss.
