Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book is a comprehensive appraisal of the political history of Nigeria since colonisation, with emphasis on political parties. The author argues that party coalitions in Nigeria can be explained by the factors of heterogeneity as well as the political systems the country has experimented with. He asserts the influence of the institution of the presidency in the current trend towards a two-party system.
“A panoramic nugget book for students in Political Science and History—it will serve well the public interest who are trying to find answers to the maze in the political landscape”
