Yelvington, D.Phil. Diane Price-Herndl, Ph.D. Fenda Akiwumi, Ph.D. Tara Deubel, Ph.D. Dillon Mahoney, Ph.D. Date of Approval: June 30, 2020 Keywords: Anthropological political economy, transnational feminism, and international development Copyright © 2020, Olubukola Olayiwola Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my biological parents, Samuel and Josephine Olayiwola Adigun (deceased). Their love, support and prayers could not be held back even by the cold hands of death. With the help of the Almighty God, I have been able to accomplish this very desired height also because you have been there for me; aiding my socialization process and teaching me to always display characters worthy of “Omoluabi” in all my dealings. The source of pride of coming to this world through you (Dearest Mum and Dad) has privileged me to sustain such a rare and genuine academic parenthood both at home (the Ololajulos) and abroad (the Yelvingtons). On this note, I dedicate this dissertation to my non-biological mothers and fathers for their moral supports, including women and men who have helped me one way or the other in my research sites through their timely supports, selflessness, and knowledge. Your contributions are so immeasurable in making a reality the completion of the dissertation fieldwork. Finally, I dedicate this dissertation to my lovely and beautiful daughter, Ewaolamiposi Olayiwola. I hope that you would be proud of me! Acknowledgements Funding for my Ph.D. program in the United States including dissertation fieldwork and writing was supported by the Wadsworth Fellowship. A special thanks to the Wenner-Gren Foundation for the Wadsworth Fellowship. I would like to thank the Foundation’s Judy Kreid for her encouragement and her kindness. I thank the Department of Anthropology (USF) for teaching assistantship throughout the course of study and for providing enabling academic environment to support my career development. I am indeed grateful to my dissertation committee for believing in me. The helpful advice and guidance of my committee was very useful, particularly knowing that they had faith in my ability to write my qualifying exam, and to successfully accomplish both fieldwork and the dissertation provided the necessary motivation to complete this desired accomplishment. I thank my dearest American Mum, Professor Bárbara Cruz (and the entire family) for their love and supports particularly towards my wellbeing and academic career development. Also, I thank many friends and colleagues who encouraged and supported me in various capacities to complete the dissertation. Special mention goes to Laura Leisinger, Laura Kihlstrom, Lisa Armstrong, Matthew Wakhungu, Alex Webb, Caitlyn Carr, Matthew Pajunen, and Bree Gasper to mention only a few.

Thanks to Mrs. Linda Clark, my second American Mum and landlady whose house has been a home away from home and very conducive to complete my dissertation writing. I acknowledge the scholarly supports from the University of Ibadan academic community particularly during the dissertation fieldwork. Special mention goes to Professor Oyelaran, Lawuyi, Ajala, Ololajulo, Ajayi, Tubosun, and Opadeji.

  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

To different Oyo State citizens, Senator Abiola Ajimobi meant different things. Senator Abiola Ajimobi came, he saw and he conquered. I personally came in physical contact with the Late Senator Abiola Ajimobi two days to the 2011 Oyo Governorship election. I was with Comrade Laoye Sanda, a bosom friend of Senator Abiola Ajimobi who then was the Chairman of the Coalition for A New Nigeria (CNN). The Coalition was put in place to wrestle power from the People‟s Democratic Party (PDP) under the administration of Otuba Alao Akala. I was the state secretary of the Coalition. Comrade Laoye Sanda and I were in the house of Senator Abiola Ajimobi at Oluyole to brief him about the decision of the Coalition concerning the 2011 Oyo governorship elections. The rest, like they say, is now history. My second time of meeting Senator Ajimobi was when I was elected as the foundation secretary of the Interparty Advisory Council (IPAC) in Oyo State.
