  • Nigeria's Fourth Republic (1999-2015) and Electoral Outcomes
    162 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS NIGERIA’S FOURTH REPUBLIC (1999-2015) AND ELECTORAL OUTCOMES: How long can Patronage or ‘Politics of the Belly’ Last? Dhikru Adewale Yagboyaju, PhD Dhikru Adewale Yagboyaju is a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The relationship between elections and the vitality of a democratic society is clear. Elections have proven to be the best means of strengthening the mandate of a performing administration or removing a non-performing one. This paper argues, however, that the outcomes of several elections in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic have proved contrary to the common trend in most advanced democratic systems, in which electoral outcomes are based on performance. While in some cases, especially in political party primaries, candidates with little or no democratic credentials have emerged during general elections, in other instances administrations with relatively high records of infrastructural development have been voted out. This study traces the most probable causes of this paradox to Nigeria’s money politics and a possible misinterpretation of the concept of development. It is essentially a literature-based study, descriptive but also analytical. The paper concludes that the country will have to contend with the politics of underdevelopment for as long as immediate and pecuniary benefits constitute the expectation of the generality of followers. Keywords: electoral outcomes, patronage politics, stomach infrastructure, development, Nigeria. 162 VOLUME 14 NO 2 163 INTRODUCTION Elections are among the most ubiquitous phenomena in many parts of the contemporary world, particularly in political systems that have embraced competitive politics.

  • 2011 Phd Diss Final
    Supervisor and First Examiner: Prof. Dr. Alexander Bergs Second Examiner: Prof. Dr. Thomas Hoffmann Date of defence: May 25, 2011 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Truth be told: When I left Lagos for Germany in September 2003 the plan was for me to spend just two weeks in Osnabrück attending the Computational Linguistics Fall School but Providence intervened and changed the plan in remarkable ways. I can only connect the dots now looking back. Particularly, Prof. Peter Bosch was God-sent as he encouraged and gave me the moral support to apply for the Master's degree in the International Cognitive Science Programme, Osnabrück which I did and never regretted the choice. It is the same Peter Bosch who introduced me to my “Doktorvater” (my PhD supervisor), Prof. Alexander Bergs, for my eventual doctoral work. Alex Bergs' warm welcome in 2007 was amazing and since then he has ensured that Osnabrück is truly an academic home for me. The Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD), the German Academic Exchange Service, supported my doctoral study with grants and scholarship and I am grateful for these. I appreciate the efforts of the following friends and scholars who assisted with the administration and co-ordination of the questionnaire in Nigeria: Prof. Charles Esimone, Dr. Tunde Opeibi, Dr. Peter Elias, Dr. Rotimi Taiwo, Mr. Stephen Folaranmi and Dr. Olufemi Akinola. I am also thankful for the assistance of Dr. Kolawole Ogundari, Mr. Michael Osei and Mr. Emmanuel Balogun with the coding of the completed questionnaire. The Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) family and leadership in Niedersachsen and Bremen provided me with the right social and spiritual atmosphere for a successful completion of my postgraduate studies in Osnabrück and I am ever thankful for the fellowship and kindness of the DCLM family.

  • Buhari Wins Second Mandate: Next Steps for Investors March 1, 2019
    Buhari Wins Second Mandate: Next Steps for Investors March 1, 2019 Summary • President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria was re-elected winning 55.6 percent of valid votes cast, a significant margin of nearly four million votes over his leading opponent, Atiku Abubakar. • The presidential and National Assembly elections were marred by widespread logistical and administrative challenges, which caused the election originally scheduled for February 16 to be postponed to February 23. The main opposition, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), rejected the results of the presidential election and plans to challenge them in court. • The biggest upset was Senate President Bukola Saraki’s failure to win his re-election bid. Saraki had been at odds with the president, and his loss creates an opportunity for President Buhari to install his allies in leadership positions in the National Assembly and pursue a legislative agenda that cements his legacy. • Now able to return its focus to governance, the Buhari administration will need to radically alter its macroeconomic approach and adhere more rigorously to a business-friendly environment to regain investor confidence. • Investors should expect a cabinet shakeup and look to several decisions that Buhari will take in the early days of his second term to gauge the administration’s priorities and commitment to economic reform and growth. • Next up are gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections on March 9. As governors gain relevance and power in Nigeria’s increasingly federated system, investors should pay attention to the political actors who win “turf wars” in key economic centers like Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, and Rivers states, as well as other states where elections will be heavily contested.

  • POLITICAL ADVERT CAMPAIGNS and VOTING BEHAVIOUR: Akinwunmi Ambode’S 2015 Election Campaign in Lagos State
    VOLUME 15 NO 2 DOI: 10.20940/JAE/2016/v15i2aDOI: 10.20940/JAE/2016/v15i2a1 1 13 POLITICAL ADVERT CAMPAIGNS AND VOTING BEHAVIOUR: Akinwunmi Ambode’s 2015 Election Campaign in Lagos State Grace Izeghe Ojekwe Grace Izeghe Ojekwe is a lecturer in the Mass Communication Department at National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Lagos, Nigeria email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In recent times, the use of political ad campaigns has become increasingly popular, as was evident in the 2015 gubernatorial elections in Lagos State. Advert campaigns of several candidates filled the media, which seemed to be a clear distinction from election campaigns in the past, in which the focus was mainly on political rallies and speeches. This led me to seek to understand the effectiveness of political ad campaigns in shaping the voting behaviour of Nigerian voters. Specifically, I examined political ad campaigns of the All Progressive Congress gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode. A field survey of eligible voters in Lagos State was carried out to further ascertain the efficacy of political ad campaigns on the electorate. From the field survey, results were collated, analysed and summarised using frequency tables. Findings from the study showed that political ad campaigns do not have a strong effect on the electorate’s voting behaviour but still play a role in the electoral process. I concluded that political candidates and parties should concentrate on other election campaign strategies. I also recommend that further studies be conducted to better understand other factors that influence voting behaviour. Keywords: electorate, political theme songs, campaign strategies INTRODUCTION For any democratic system to thrive, it is vital that political parties and candidates provide the voters with adequate information on party policies, clear-cut vision as 13 14 DOI: 10.20940/JAE/2016/v15i2a1 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS well as their political agendas to enable the electorate to choose their candidates based on full information.

  • Celebrity Endorsement of Political Aspirants and Its Effects on College Students in Lagos
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Journal of African Media Studies published by Intellect doi: 10.1386/jams.9.3.487_1 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/32045 Celebrity endorsement of political aspirants and its effects on college students in Lagos Añulika Agina and Akpevwe Ekwevugbe Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos Abstract This article examines two main research questions: what factors justify celebrity endorsement as an election campaign strategy given the increasing doubts associated with celebrity involvement in politics? Did celebrity endorsement of political aspirants influence young adults‟ voting behaviour during the 2015 elections in Lagos? Using mixed method approaches, and supported by source credibility and celebrity endorsement debates, a survey was conducted with a sample of 375 students of the Yaba College of Technology. Three semi-structured interviews with members of successful campaign teams were also conducted. Our findings revealed that campaign managers have huge confidence in the celebrity endorsement strategy for several reasons and would employ the approach in future. Further, the young people interrogated revealed that two-thirds of them are fans of Nollywood stars and music icons. But they were not influenced to vote on the basis of the celebrities‟ say-so. These findings are somewhat consistent with extant literature, but suggest the need for further studies regarding how celebrities translate fandom to votes. Keywords: celebrity endorsement, celebrity, politics, voting behaviour, election campaigns, Nigeria Introduction Media celebrities are highly regarded in their societies; and this enables them function as effective promoters of persons, issues, products, and causes since they are perceived as believable, trustworthy, likeable and persuasive (Austin et al, 2008) agents.

  • PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS of JUDICIAL DECISIONS on ELECTION DISPUTES the Case of the 2007 General Election in Nigeria
    VOLUME 10 NO 1 101 PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF JUDICIAL DECISIONS ON ELECTION DISPUTES The Case of the 2007 General Election in Nigeria Emmanuel O Ojo Dr Emmanuel O Ojo is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In a plural and deeply divided society like that in Nigeria post-election disputes are a recurring problem and if care is not taken in their resolution may exacerbate the problems of national integration. Elections do not only perform the function of elite recruitment into public office but are a mechanism for national integration. In a heterogeneous society like that in Nigeria if post-election conflict is not handled with the required neutrality the election suffers enormously from a credibility crisis. It is against this background that this article examines the role of the judiciary and its impartiality in resolving election-related conflicts arising out of Nigeria’s 2007 general elections. It infers that, in a number of cases, the public perceived judicial officers to have compromised themselves. No doubt this compounded the problem of integrating Nigeria’s disparate ethnic groups and, at the same time, whittled down the confidence of members of the public in the capacity of the judiciary to be an impartial arbiter. The article recommends training and retraining for judges in the interests of both national integration and democratic sustenance. INTRODUCTION There is no doubt that the judiciary is a cardinal institution in an established democracy. This is not unconnected with the fact that a constitutional government must, in part, be a judicial government (Hague & Harrop 1990, p 279).
