Dr Akinyemi Bolaji , convener of the conference describes the Nigeria political parties as parties that lack ideology which have being one among foundations that will never bring unity in the country , because most Nigerian leaders are greedy without regards for ethics, law, humanity and will do anything to get into power as the remain emperor .
