  • Political Parties and Threats of Democratic Reversal in Nigeria
    VOLUME 6 NO 2 95 BUILDING DEMOCRACY WITHOUT DEMOCRATS? Political Parties and Threats of Democratic Reversal in Nigeria Said Adejumobi & Michael Kehinde Dr Said Adejumobi is Chief, Public Administration Section, and Coordinator, Africa Governance Report, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa Governance and Public Administration Division, UNECA, PO Box 3005, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Tel: +251 912200066 e-mail: [email protected] Michael Kehinde is a lecturer in the Department of Political Science, Lagos State University PM B 1087, Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria Tel: +234 802 5408439 ABSTRACT Political parties are not only a major agency for the recruitment and enthronement of political leaders in an electoral democracy they are the foundation and a building block of the process of democratic evolution and consolidation. However, the nature and character of the dominant political parties in Nigeria threaten the country’s nascent democratic project. They lack clear ideological orientation, do not articulate alternative worldviews, rarely mobilise the citizenry, and basically adopt anti-democratic methods to confront and resolve democratic issues. Intra- and inter-party electoral competition is fraught with intense violence, acrimony and warfare. Put differently, these parties display all the tendencies and conduct of authoritarianism. The result is that what exists in Nigeria is ‘democratism’, the form and not the substance of an evolving democracy. INTRODUCTION The mass conversion of politicians and political thinkers to the cause of democracy has been one of the most dramatic, and significant, events in 95 96 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS political history. Even in Ancient Greece, often thought of as the democratic ideal, democracy tended to be viewed in negative terms.

  • National Assembly Members and Their Jumbo Pay Controversy: Matters Arising

Onuigbo1, Idike, Adeline N2, Eme. Okechukwu Innocent3, Anyadike. Nkechi3 1Department of Political Science, Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT). Email: [email protected] 2Department of Political Science, Federal University Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State Department of Public Administration and Local Government, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (08056753011). E-mail: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract: The objective of this paper is to examines the intrigues, power play and accusations surrounding the National Assembly budgetary allocations between 1999 and 2016.This is because since it was inaugurated in June 1999, the Legislature of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic has been roundly defined as an enigmatic one, due to the many twists and turns which accompanied its leadership and membership. It is no longer news that Nigerian legislators are the highest paid lawmakers in the world. When this fact was first revealed a few years ago, the federal lawmakers tried to justify the jumbo pay package without any success. The data for this study was generated from Focus Group Discussion and documentary sources which include books, journals and online materials. The technique of content analysis constituted our data analysis technique. Among the conclusion drawn is for Nigeria to return to the core argument that by paying excessively high salaries and emoluments to top public officials; in particular, permanent secretaries, ministers and legislators, we are mortgaging the rights of our people to development.
