SK Abdullahi Bayero
Sarkin Kano Abdullahi Bayero (1926-1953) bdullahi Bayero was born in 1299 AH (1881). He had his early Islamic education Aat the Sarki's palace and he was guided by the prominent Islamic scholars of the time. While he was the Ciroma of Kano and District Head of Bichi he became very closely associated with the prominent Ulama of his time. When the British colonial administrators decided to introduce the new district administrative structure, Abdullahi Bayero, who was then Ciroma, was appointed the Head of the Home Districts with Headquarters at Dawakin Kudu and later Panisau in 1914. He was appointed Sarkin Kano in April 1926 and was formally installed on 14th February 1927 (Fika 1978: 227). He was the most experienced contender for the Emirship he had also proved that he was honest, efficient, dedicated and upright. Abdullahi Bayero made several appointments during his long and highly respected reign. Among those he appointed were his sons Muhammad Sanusi whom he appointed Ciroma and District Head of Bichi the position he held before his appointment as the Sarki, and Aminu who was appointed Dan Iya and District Head of Dawakin Kudu. After the deposition of Muhammad son of Sarkin Kano Shehu Usman from Turaki and District Head of Ungogo he appointed his brothers Abdulkadir and Muhammad Inuwa as Galadima and Turaki respectively in 1927.

The paper interrogates their metamorphosis and masquerading character as ploy to delay the people-oriented revolution. The just- concluded PDP party primaries and secondary elections are evidence that demands a verdict. By way of qualitative analysis of relevant secondary sources, predicated on the Marxian political approach, the paper posits that the capitalist palliatives to block the Nigerian people from freeing themselves from the shackles of poverty will soon be a Copyright ©IAARR 2015: www.afrrevjo.net Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info IJAH VOL 4 (3) SEPTEMBER, 2015 56 thing of the past. It is our argument that this situation left unchecked would create problem for Nigeria’s nascent democracy which is not allowed to go through normal party polity and electoral process. The argument of this paper is that the on-going recycling of the Nigerian military class into a bourgeois class as messiahs has a huge possibility for revolution. -

It is argued that ethnicity is not necessarily incompatible with nationalism and nation-building. Ethnicity and nationalism both play a role in nation-state formation. They are each functional to political stability and, therefore, to civil peace and to the ability of individual Nigerians to pursue their non-political goals. Ethnicity is functional to political stability because it provides the basis for political socialization and for popular allegiance to political actors. It provides the framework within which patronage is institutionalized and related to traditional forms of welfare within a state which is itself unable to provide such benefits to its subjects. -
Democracy and Disorder Impeachment of Governors and Political Development in Nigeria’S Fourth Republic
Taiwan Journal of Democracy, Volume 11, No. 2: 163-183 Democracy and Disorder Impeachment of Governors and Political Development in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic Oarhe Osumah Abstract This essay, based on data derived from existing literature and reports, examines the impeachment of state governors in Nigeria since the return to civil rule in May 1999. It shows that six state governors have been impeached. This number far exceeds the cases in Nigeria’s previous three democratic experiments combined, the First Republic (1963-1966), the Second Republic (1979-1983), and the botched Third Republic (1991-1993). Although, at face value, the impeachment cases since May 1999 tend to portray the fulfilment of the liberal democratic tradition, in fact, they demonstrate political disorder, or garrison democracy. Keywords: Impeachment, legislature, democracy, disorder, godfathers. The question of impeachment has been much overlooked since the Nixon and Clinton eras in the United States. In many instances, full and fair democratic elections are the best way to end an unpopular or corrupt government. In Nigeria, since the return to democratic rule in May 1999 after long years of military authoritarianism, impeachment has been a recurrent feature, one ostensibly designed to check abuse of political power. Threats of impeachment and a number of impeachment proceedings have been raised or initiated since the inauguration of the Fourth Republic. The number during the Fourth Republic far exceeds the impeachments, or threats of it, during Nigeria’s previous three democratic experiments combined; the First Republic (1963-1966), the Second Republic (1979-1983), and the botched Third Republic (1991-1993). Indeed, impeachment has been more regularly deployed during the current period of Nigeria’s constitutional history than in the historical experiences of the most advanced democracies, such as the United States and Britain.
