Contributions within the academic circles, family link and notable individuals/personages deserve due acknowledgement. This is because a man who beats up his doctor after he has been cured is incapable of being grateful. Nature‘s cruelty, to candour, is more bearable than man‘s ingratitude to man. Words are undoubtedly inadequate to quantify the roles of my supervisors, Dr. Kolawole David Aiyedun and Professor Samuel Ovuete Aghalino, to whom special accolades are exclusively reserved. In spite of their busy schedules as Head of Department, Senior Professor and in many other capacities, they never denied me the benefits of their supervisory acumen.

Nigeria cannot pay salaries; the Federal Government itself has to summon the Governor of Central Bank on how it could pay salaries, not to talk of projects, agreements we signed with “ other countries on counterpart funding and so on. President Buhari addressing journalists in India (28 October, 2015) Opening Note In the 1980s, Crude oil prices fell significantly, placing a massive strain on Nigeria’s fiscal position, with budget deficits spiralling out of proportion. State governments struggled to meet obligations, ranging from civil servants’ salaries, contractors’ remuneration, to debts repayments as due. The military coup which followed cited these developments as a contributory factor and on 31 December 1983, Major- General Muhammadu Buhari was announced as leader of the new military government. Today, history seems to be repeating itself. Crude prices have mainly nose-dived, staying low; Nigeria’s fiscal prospects are unanimously agreed as in need of circumspect observation and States have had to receive bailouts from the Federal Government to enable them meet the basest obligations.

  • Party Primaries, Candidate Selection and Intra-Party Conflict in Nigeria: PDP in Perspective
    Covenant University Journal of Politics & Internationall Affairs. Vol. 5, No.1, June, 2017 An Open Access Journal - Available Online Party Primaries, Candidate Selection and Intra-Party Conflict in Nigeria: PDP in Perspective Muinat Adetayo Adekeye Kwara State University, Malete [email protected] Abstract: This paper underscores the interplay among party primaries, candidate selection and intra-party conflicts in the People‟s Democratic Party (PDP). It employs the theoretical explanations of the Group Conflict Theory which posits that conflicts within groups are borne out of incompatible interests catalyzed by selfish nature of individuals. Findings from the qualitative analysis signifies that while institutional structures have been enacted to avert conflicts within the party, non-adherence to the dictates of such structures have birthed a wide range of internal conflicts within the party, thus resulting to cases of defection, factionalization, proliferation of political parties, unconstitutional change of party leaders and most importantly, the defeat of the party in 2015 general elections. It was recommended that effective restructuring of internal laws and polices within PDP, establishment of punitive measure and the practice of transparency by the INEC would ensure good governance in Nigeria.

  • The 2019 General Elections and the Politics of Party Defection: Implications on Democratic Consolidation
    Nigerian Journal of Administrative and Political Studies Volume 5 No1 ISSN:1595-9236. © Department of Political Science, BSU, Mkd. pp:129-142 The 2019 General Elections and the Politics of Party Defection: Implications on Democratic Consolidation AGAN, Abraham; ADZAIGBA, Terwase and VIHIMGA, Terungwa Lawrence * Abstract Politics is quite an interesting game in which most often actors play without taking into consideration the implication of their actions, one which is defection. Events across the country's political space reveal that, this practice of defecting from one political party to another appears to have become a necessary attribute of politics in Nigeria. Though, the framers of the Nigerian Constitution were not unaware of the harm, unguarded defection of the actors in party politics could cause the polity, which explained the wisdom behind the provision of Section 68 (1) (g) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution as amended. However, this constitutional provision aimed at curbing political actors at both the federal and state levels from jettisoning the platforms on which they were elected at the slightest reason, seems to have been defeated given the style and manner politicians defect at will in the present dispensation. The Elite theory is used in interrogating the phenomenon, emphasizing the power and influence of the political elites to continue to have access to state resources. The paper made use of review of related literature for the purpose of data collection. The work revealed ideological confusion, personal aggrandizement, and lack of internal democracy and fear of persecution has been responsible for most issues of defection. The paper is of the conclusion that, some lessons must have been learnt from this gale of defections.
