Although democracy is becoming the prevalent and acceptable form of governance in such Sub-Saharan African countries as Nigeria, there is need to understand the domestic dynamics under which electoral competition influences the quality of leadership and national development. The major purpose of the book is to explore and explain the circumstances under which elections play crucial roles in the job performance of elected political elites and its effects on the development of Nigeria. There are obvious linkages between the basic political values of a democratic state and the leadership performances of elected officials, as well as its national development. The effects of the interactions of unethical political behaviour and sluggish improvements of the already poor national development are evident in Nigeria. In comparison with other African and Asian countries, Nigeria at its independence, had dynamic public institutions, competent professionals, and a vibrant civil society; and was considered the phoenix of African hopes1. Contrary to expectations, Nigeria has remained a nation-state, which by all democratic and leadership criteria, performs poorly in comparison with similar nation-states in Sub-Sahara Africa. Although the colonial legacies constitute part of Nigeria's political and developmental problems, it still remains unfortunate that, unlike Malaysia, Indonesia, and India with similar legacies, Nigeria has been unable to formulate policies that promote national integration and effective leadership. The problem of economic underdevelopment in Nigeria is, therefore, more complex than the effects of such exogenous factors as colonialism. Obviously, the authoritarian military regimes, which interrupted elected democratic regimes through coups d'etat, have impeded the political development processes. Even the so-called democratic regimes have been simply electoral dictatorships that combined regular elections with a number of democratic deficits; such as corruption, poor systems of checks and balances on the executive and ineffective legislative branch of government. These civilian regimes have used the conduct of multiparty elections to mask the prevalent authoritarian domination, plagued by election-rigging, abuse of power, and widespread corruption. The low levels of electoral competition in the political system of Nigeria have had adverse effects on the quality of leadership, as well as the development of the nation. Genuine electoral competitions create and guarantee accountability; serve as constraints on executive arbitrariness; and improve representation and participation. These in turn, create a balance between the politician who is supposed to supply good governance and the citizens who demand good governance.

Nigerians love to debate. Even under colonial rule, the authorities realised that Nigerians could not be repressed and that they always expressed their views on topical issues of development. The topical issues that have driven Nigeria's political economy include Constitution and Constitutionalism, Democracy, the National Question, Civil-Military Relations, Federalism, State and Nation-Building, Local Governance, Leadership, the Role of Traditional Rulers, the Economy and Religion.This volume is a selection of some of Professor Elaigwu's contributions to these debates. In it, Elaigwu, a leading Nigerian political scientist, argues that the challenges facing the country are not unsurmountable and that Nigerians must take the destiny of their country in their hands and look inwards to deal with the country's weaknesses while strengthening her capacity and resolve to become an industrialised and powerful country within a limited space of time.

This volume analyses democratic governance, the rule of law and development in Africa. It is unique and timely. First, the theme and sub-themes were carefully selected to solicit quality chapters from academics, practitioners and graduate students on topical and contemporary issues in constitutional law, human rights, and democratic governance in Africa. The chapters were subjected to a single-blind peer review by experts and scholars in the relevant fields to ensure that high quality submissions are included. Due to the dearth of knowledge and studies on the chosen thematic areas, the publication will remain relevant after several years due to the timeless themes it covers. In this regard, this edited volume audits the progress of democratic consolidation, rule of law and development in Ghana with selected case studies from other African countries. This book is intended for higher education institutions (universities, institutes and centres), public libraries, general academics, practitioners and students of law, democracy, human rights and political science, especially those interested in African affairs.

This book examines the ways in which colonialism continues to define the political economy of Nigeria sixty years after gaining political independence from the British. It also establishes a link between colonialism and the continued agitation for restructuring the political arrangement of the country. The contributions offer various perspectives on how the forceful amalgamation of disparate units and diverse nationalities have undermined the realization of the development potential of Nigeria. The book is divided into two parts. The first part interrogates the political economy of colonialism and the implications of this on economic development in contemporary Nigeria. The second part examines nation-building, governance, and development in a postcolonial state. The failure of the postcolonial political elites to ensure inclusive governance has continued to foster centrifugal and centripetal forces that question the legitimacy of the state. The forces have deepened calls for secession, accentuated conflicts and predispose the country to possible disintegration. A new government approach is required that would ensure equal representation, access to power and equitable distribution of resources.

This book contains different reflections on leadership and institutions in Africa. Drawing from different ideological and methodological orientations, the book highlights how leadership and institutions have shaped and continue to shape the trajectory of Africa’s political and economic development. The book explores different epochs in Africa’s history, from the era of colonialism to the period of nationalist movements, and up to post-colonial Africa. Essays in the volume engage with major actors and important institutions that defined each era. By presenting various reflections and representations of leadership and institutions in Africa, this book attempts to make the connection between leadership and institutions on the one hand, and between these variables and Africa’s development on the other. Similar to most studies on Africa’s political economy, the book considers the role of external forces whether operationalized through direct interventions as was the case during the colonial era, or through subtle imposition of policies as has been the new model in post-colonial times. Drawing from these lenses, issues around Africa’s dependency on external interventions, neo-colonialism, neoliberalism, and disregard for Africa’s culture are explored and contextualized within the framework of leadership and institutions.

Nigeria is a bellwether, in an enormous continent, endowed with natural resources and human capital, whose development and greatness have been marred by political instability since gaining home-rule from Britain in 1960. The contemporary political, economic, and social quandaries that have stultified Nigeria’s growth project flows from difficulties in cultivating patriotic leaders with pluck to enact efficacious policies that will catapult the country to greater heights developmentally. Nigeria in the Fourth Republic: Confronting the Contemporary Political, Economic, and Social Dilemmas, edited by E. Ike Udogu, examines some of the vital issues responsible for the current political malaise and recommends strategies for exculpating the country from her current political quagmires. The contributors to this book argue, inter alia, for the avoidance of false starts reminiscent of the military interventions that aborted the democracy project and advocates the enactment of effective policies to supersede decision dictated by politics. This volume proposes national healthcare strategies to address the country’s healthcare needs and for dialogue to extinguish combustible inter-religious conflicts. The book recommends ways to assuage police highway malfeasance and explains why human rights observance is critical to further national cohesion while creating space for the subalterns to have their voices heard in discourses on how to advance peaceful coexistence.
