The former governor of Akwa Ibom State said repositioning the parties would help restore public trust and confidence in them.

Akpabio added that political parties should ensure transparency by making their expenditures public.

He said: “Political parties have not only provided platforms for citizens to participate in the democratic process but have also played a vital role in shaping our nation’s policies and governance structures.

“However, it would be remiss of us not to acknowledge the issues that have marred our democratic culture.
