One of the registered political parties, progressive people Alliance (PPA) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure the availability of adequate registration machines to enable those that have attained voting age register.

PPA made the call through the Kaduna state chairman of the party, Alhaji Danjuma Mohammed Baki in an interview with Nigerian Newsday in Kaduna.

He described as unfortunate the current scarcity of the machines used for registration, saying that "If this problem is not addressed now it would deny a lot of Nigerians right to vote come 2007".

He disclosed that the state executive of the PPAwere doing all they could to ensure that all qualified people get the voter’s card aimed at enabling them exercise their civil right.

While commenting on the manifestor of PPA, Alhaji Danjuma said PPA is a great party with good vision for the country.

According to him, PPA government will strive to build a self reliant economy that will develop on the strength of the nation’s resources. "PPA will work to strengthen the weak areas of the current reform of the out going administration because we are of the firm belief that Nigerian need structural reforms to meet our developmental goals,"he added.

Alhaji Danjuma stated that PPA would work harder to ensure the progress of the country, most especially in the areas of health, education, agriculture, power supply, road development and human development among others.

He then called on Nigerians to support PPA come 2007 soas to ensure real development for the people.
