Party discipline in Nigeria, using All Progressives Congress (APC) as a tool of analysis. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798414036111)

This research addressed party discipline in Nigeria, using the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a analysis tool. The key issues that are critically undermining democratic development in Nigeria manifest themselves in their implications as a threat to internal party democracy within the APC. One of the ingredients of democracy is the formation and sustenance of political parties. Ideally, parties are formed based on ideological or philosophical persuasions. To belong to a political party suggests a commitment to the ideals and principles that the party stands for. In the First Republic, members subscribed to political parties whose ideologies they believed in. They funded the parties through their party dues. It was difficult for wealthy individuals to hijack the parties and dictate their fortunes. Those were the days when communal and societal values counted for something. What is witnessed these days in the political parties is a criminal aberration. Wealthy patrons and all-powerful governors virtually dictate the fortunes of the parties. Some become so powerful that principled decisions are thwarted for their sake.
