IN SUMMER 2010, Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan garnered unprecedented support among Nigerians and enormous goodwill from the international community in his epic battle to succeed the late President Umaru Yar'Adua as president. Propelled to power by his nation's local compradors and the "doctrine of necessity" in a country buffeted by sundry fissiparous tendencies, Mr. Jonathan, a minority from the Ijaw tribe won the 2011 Presidential Election convincingly in his own right and became Nigeria's substantive president. Nigeria has managed to remain intact under Mr. Jonathan, but five years after he became president, Mr. Jonathan has alienated key go-to-power brokers and squandered the good luck that helped him to power. His prevarication and dour personality, inaction and dithering administrative style are fueling more viviparous pulls dogging the corporate existence of Africa's most populous nation. Whether Mr. Jonathan wins the forthcoming presidential elections in 2015 or gets the shellacking of his political life is for the Nigerian people to decide, but whatever the outcome of the election, the next four years will be extremely critical for Nigeria as a nation against the backdrop of the smorgasbord of problems that will confront the Nigerian leadership and the swirl of economic problems that will face majority of Nigerians.

ISBN: 3319060015

Against the background of a long and continuing record of political instability in Africa, this edited collection presents a multi-disciplinary approach to selected issues in African political studies. The contributions explore a range of political and conflict situations, discuss efforts to develop indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms and consider some of the key political and economic issues facing the continent. The specific country studies illuminate the diversity of the African continent and indicate the ways in which the political and socio-economic contexts of African states bear directly upon the ability of states to solve political and economic challenges. The volume seeks to present and promote novel analytical frameworks, conceptual approaches and empirical accounts of relevance to scholars working on Africa and to practitioners and policy makers in politics, governance and peace initiatives in Africa.

This book examines the significance of the 2015 elections in consolidating Nigeria’s democracy, in the context of the difficulty of routinizing democracy since the attainment of nationhood in 1960 and the return to civil rule in May 1999, in particular. It offers a complete analysis of Nigeria’s electoral process, outlining how the dynamics of limited changes in the constitutional, institutional, attitudinal and behavioural frameworks that underpin electoral competition played out in the elections. The authors further examine the conduct and outcome of the 2015 elections against the background of the pattern of electoralism that had been established since the return to democracy in 1999. In doing so, they draw attention to the dialectics of continuity and change that have been thrown up by the elections and how the lessons learned can be used to build a more enduring democratic system. The book will be of interest to students and academics of political science, development studies, democratisation and election studies, and African government and politics.
