Download or read book Nigerian Political Parties and Politicians written by Bolaji Aregbeshola and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-22 with total page 506 pages. 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.
Download or read book Contemporary Nigerian Politics written by A. Carl LeVan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, Nigeria's voters cast out the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). Here, A. Carl LeVan traces the political vulnerability of Africa's largest party in the face of elite bargains that facilitated a democratic transition in 1999. These 'pacts' enabled electoral competition but ultimately undermined the party's coherence. LeVan also crucially examines the four critical barriers to Nigeria's democratic consolidation: the terrorism of Boko Haram in the northeast, threats of Igbo secession in the southeast, lingering ethnic resentments and rebellions in the Niger Delta, and farmer-pastoralist conflicts. While the PDP unsuccessfully stoked fears about the opposition's ability to stop Boko Haram's terrorism, the opposition built a winning electoral coalition on economic growth, anti-corruption, and electoral integrity. Drawing on extensive interviews with a number of politicians and generals and civilians and voters, he argues that electoral accountability is essential but insufficient for resolving the representational, distributional, and cultural components of these challenges.

Download or read book From Cultural Justice to Inter Ethnic Mediation written by Basil Ugorji and published by Basil Ugorji. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by ethno-religious conflicts which occur in a frequent, incessant and violent manner in the contemporary Nigerian society, Basil Ugorji examines the very real struggle for cultural justice that often leads to tribal violence and clashes, ethnic and religious wars, and genocides. The author thoroughly investigates the relevance of certain measures, judicial and coercive, used to manage ethno-religious conflicts in Africa. Based on the historical and political contexts (pre-colonialism, colonialism, post-independence), the author explores the premise that a shift is required in the research of peaceful resolution: first, from retributive justice to restorative justice, and second, from coercive methods of reconciliation to ethno-religious mediation, with a focus on the ethnic, tribal and religious groups involved in conflicts; the origins, causes, consequences, and actors involved; and the forms and places of occurrence of ethno-religious conflicts. With scholarship and compassion, the author sees the people within the conflict and exposes their humanity. Beyond the posturing and politics, he returns sanity to the discussion by revealing the often counterintuitive behavior of social systems under stress. More than just empirical observation, From Cultural Justice to Inter-Ethnic Mediation: A Reflection on the Possibility of Ethno-Religious Mediation in Africa provides welcome insights into convoluted dynamics and offers practical strategies through peace education. There is something here for everybody seeking a way forward out of chaos in Africa, from grassroots advocates to senior policymakers.
