Thesis Abstract
AbstractPolicy formulation by the government plays a crucial role in defining the role of political parties in the consolidation of Nigeria's democracy. This study explores how government policies shape the functioning and influence of political parties in the democratic process of Nigeria. By examining the historical context of policy formulation in Nigeria and its impact on political party dynamics, this research aims to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities for political parties in the country. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative analysis of government policies with quantitative data on political party performance and public perceptions. Through interviews with policymakers, party officials, and civil society representatives, the research uncovers the underlying factors driving policy decisions that affect the role of political parties. Findings suggest that government policies, such as electoral laws, campaign finance regulations, and party registration requirements, have a significant impact on the behavior and strategies of political parties. These policies can either enhance or impede the democratic process, depending on their design and implementation. For instance, restrictive party registration procedures can limit the entry of new parties, reducing political competition and inhibiting democratic representation. Moreover, the study highlights the role of political will and institutional capacity in shaping effective policy formulation. Government commitment to promoting a level playing field for all political parties is essential for a vibrant and inclusive democratic system. Strengthening institutions responsible for overseeing electoral processes and enforcing regulations is equally important in ensuring compliance and accountability among political actors. Overall, the research underscores the interconnectedness of government policies, political party dynamics, and democratic consolidation in Nigeria. By understanding how policy choices influence the behavior of political parties, policymakers can design interventions that foster a more competitive and transparent political environment. Building consensus among stakeholders, including political parties, civil society organizations, and international partners, is crucial for advancing reforms that promote democratic values and practices in Nigeria. In conclusion, policy formulation by the government is a critical determinant of the role of political parties in Nigeria's democracy. By addressing the challenges and opportunities identified in this study, policymakers can contribute to the consolidation of a more robust and resilient democratic system in the country.
Thesis Overview
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Presently, the call for freedom and democracy echoes across the globe. The world has witnessed phenomenal shift from authoritarian style of governance to democratic rule. The fact still remain that state is no longer interested in interacting with other state where democracy is not practiced. It then follows that any country desirous of relevance within the world system must be seen as democratic compliance (Omotola, 2008). African states are not left out in this development. Though, argument in some literature shows that the reasons for supporting democracy in Africa, specifically Nigeria, do not mirror Western perception. Thus, African looks more at democracy in economic terms than political ideology (Saliu, 1999). The global recognition of democracy eventually paved way for the re-birth of democratic government in Nigeria on May 29, 1999. The struggle for democratic government in Nigeria during military era is almost the same as anti-colonial struggle. This is because both the promoter and supporter of democracy in Nigeria are highly committed and dedicated before the transition comes to reality.
In the process of achieving it, many of them lost their life, some were even detained while those who escaped the two gone on exile (Saliu, 2004). Now that democracy becomes Nigerian “Public good”, credible institutions are required to defend the system. It is in this context that democratic consolidation and sustainability become imperative. Thus, democracy requires among others the supportive structures, such as political parties. These Political Parties will serve as mediating institutions through which differences in ideas, interests and perceptions of political problems at a given time can be managed (Omotola, 2008). The fact still remain that “the strength and effectiveness of Political Parties is directly proportional to the degree of resilience democracy enjoy” (Mimiko, 2007). It is against this background that this study is concerned with the role of political parties in consolidation of democracy in Nigeria and the extent of party’s contribution to the survival and consolidation of democracy in Nigeria with special focus on PDP and APC. Nigeria has a multi-party system, with two or three strong parties and a third party that is electorally successful. PDP and APC remains the strongest parties in Nigeria in the opinion of the researcher.
