  • 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.

  • Regressive Democracy: the Monstrous Role of Godfatherism in Nigeria
    International Journal of Politics and Good Governance Volume VI, No. 6.2 Quarter II 2015 ISSN: 0976 – 1195 REGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY: THE MONSTROUS ROLE OF GODFATHERISM IN NIGERIA Francis Osadebamwen Osayi University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria ABSTARCT Godfatherism has become an attribute of modern day Nigeria democracy. With the gradual institutionalization of democracy, godfatherism has taken its toll in the politics of the country, thereby causing disaffection, disharmony, disunity and conflict among various political and interest groups. Its lethargic impact has further heightened political passivism and aparthism, thus retarding Nigeria’s democratic process. Apart from being a game of power play and rivalry, it often engenders political acrimony which tends to divest the people of democratic dividends. Consequently, such features as stagnated development, wanton destruction of lives and property becomes predominant. Nigeria has consistently been rated as one of the most corrupt nations on earth. This corrupt tendency propelled by greed has resulted in Nigerians seeing government as a vehicle for primitive accumulation and self aggrandizement. With these attendant problems associated with politics of godfatherism, Nigeria’s socio-economic structure tends to encourage it.
