Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1968. In retrospect it now seems clear that the federal elections of December 1964 and the constitutional crisis which followed mark the apogee of the civilian government headed by Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. The ‘broadbased’ government which emerged from the crisis represented, at best, a shaky compromise. A decisive jolt came when in the early hours of January 15, 1966, a group of young army officers, mainly Ibo, led some soldiers in a coup which ended in the death of the Federal Prime Minister of Nigeria, Sir Abubakar. The regional Premiers of the North and the West were also killed, as were a number of high-ranking Hausa and Yoruba officers. This volume asks what went wrong and ledto Nigeria’s slow decline into civil chaos and the possibility of political disintegration.

Book excerpt: This volume engages in an in-depth discussion of Nigerian politics. Written by an expert group of Nigerian researchers, the chapters provide an overarching, Afrocentric view of politics in Nigeria, from pre-colonial history to the current federal system. The book begins with a series of historical chapters analyzing the development of Nigeria from its traditional political institutions through the First Republic. After establishing the necessary historical context, the next few chapters shift the focus to specific political institutions and phenomena, including the National Assembly, local government and governance, party politics, and federalism. The remaining chapters discuss issues that continue to affect Nigerian politics: the debt crisis, oil politics in the Niger Delta, military intervention and civil-military relations, as well as nationalism and inter-group relations. Providing an overview of Nigerian politics that encompasses history, economics, and public administration, this volume will be useful to students and researchers interested in African politics, African studies, democracy, development, history, and legislative studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigerian Political Parties and Politicians - Winding Road from Country to Nation is a book aimed at making politicians aware of the damage done to the country as a result of their difference in ideologies, political intolerance, love of public office, maladministration, embezzlement of public fund, tribalism, breakdown of law and order, mismanagement of the economy among others. It was borne out of my observation of the continued omissions and errors by political parties and politicians which led to the collapse of the first, second and third republics, hence, the need to call the attention of both political parties and politicians to the task of ensuring nation building. The Nigerian political parties have now become organizationally incoherent and undisciplined through tradition. Each party is rocked by different crises ranging from nepotism to struggle for power and with no one to call their attention to the major responsibility of achieving unity through cohesion and integration. Having been granted independence on a platter of gold as described by a person no less than late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, its political leaders have lost sight of the need to stop all the political violence and selfish-interest in steering the ship of Nigeria in a way that could metamorphose into a real nation. Today the Nigerian political system is nothing to write home about. All the political parties have continued to thread in the steps of early political parties which caused the collapse of the first, second and third republics. This is the rationale for writing the book in order to raise the consciousness of politicians and provide guidelines in planning for the future. The unique feature of this study is its examination of the political parties from pre-independence to the present day and identification of pitfalls of the political parties during this period. The first chapter of the book which is the introduction gives a general idea of politics, governance and what is to follow. Chapter two examined the political events of the first republic as well as the activities of the parties that existed during this era. Its sub-topic includes: Pre-colonial and colonial history, National Council of Nigeria and Cameroun (NCNC), The Northern People's Congress (NPC), The Action Group (AG), The Federal Election and Collapse of the first republic. The third chapter which is entitled: Political Parties in the Second Republic (1979-1983) looked at the registered political parties during this period, the elections and what led to their collapse. Chapter four examined the short-lived third republic. Its sub-topics includes: The Social Democratic Party (SDP), The National Republican Convention (NRC), The party system in the Abortive third republic, The 1993 General Elections. The June 12 struggle, international reactions to the June 12 crises as well as the aftermath of the annulment of June 12 elections. Political Parties in the current republic was the main focus of the fifth chapter while chapter six provides guidelines for planning for the future in order to avoid the mistakes of the past which Nigeria still bears its consequences. It is important to state that there is a dangerous correlation between the political events of the early republics and what is happening in the current republic. This will ultimately influence the course of political events in the future if political parties and politicians do not become conscious.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look into the psychology of voters around the world, how voters shape elections, and how elections transform citizens and affect their lives Could understanding whether elections make people happy and bring them closure matter more than who they vote for? What if people did not vote for what they want but for what they believe is right based on roles they implicitly assume? Do elections make people cry? This book invites readers on a unique journey inside the mind of a voter using unprecedented data from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Africa, and Georgia throughout a period when the world evolved from the centrist dominance of Obama and Mandela to the shock victories of Brexit and Trump. Michael Bruter and Sarah Harrison explore three interrelated aspects of the heart and mind of voters: the psychological bases of their behavior, how they experience elections and the emotions this entails, and how and when elections bring democratic resolution. The authors examine unique concepts including electoral identity, atmosphere, ergonomics, and hostility. From filming the shadow of voters in the polling booth, to panel study surveys, election diaries, and interviews, Bruter and Harrison unveil insights into the conscious and subconscious sides of citizens’ psychology throughout a unique decade for electoral democracy. They highlight how citizens’ personality, memory, and identity affect their vote and experience of elections, when elections generate hope or hopelessness, and how subtle differences in electoral arrangements interact with voters’ psychology to trigger different emotions. Inside the Mind of a Voter radically shifts electoral science, moving away from implicitly institution-centric visions of behavior to understand elections from the point of view of voters.

This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Political Party Financing and Electoral Politics in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, Babayo Sule provides a detailed analysis of the process of political party financing in Nigeria from 1999 to the present. Sule links the party financing process with the electoral process and explores issues of democratic accountability, transparency, and corruption in Nigeria under democratic rule. Issues of excessive spending, violation of legal procedures for party financing and monitoring of parties’ activities, particularly, finances are explored. The book presents an analytical discourse on elections and processes that influence an election in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic in which party financing and money politics are instrumental. This book observes how political corruption gains root in the process of party financing and builds a theory linking party financing, electoral politics, and democratic accountability. This book provides practical policy implications for strengthening Nigeria’s electoral process and transparency in its democracy.
