Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Nigeria, like many other African countries, has had its fair share of democratic challenges, but it has also recorded some achievement over the years. There have already been calls across the country for some adjustments and improvements on the way political parties are run and managed, in the years to come. This paper sets out to analytically x-ray some of the challenges currently bedevilling the structure and workings of the political parties in Nigeria with a view to repositioning the ideological root and value system that these political parties are driven by. Using the secondary data where information is gathered and the content of same analysed the paper tends to showcase the salient strength and weaknesses inherent in the Nigeria political party system. It concludes that the political parties in Nigeria have always had to grapple with challenges owing to the fact that the formation of the parties are built along faulty lines, chiefly among which is the lack of a clear cut ideology and proposes amongst others that party members begin to imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship by displaying some sense of direction towards establishing a robust party manifesto.
