DEVELOPMENT OF POLITICAL PARTIES AND ETHNICITY CONSTRAINT TO DEMOCRATIC STRUCTURES IN NIGERIA
Abstract
Studies of political development and party formation was noted on sectionalism and ethnic bigotry. One school of thought influenced in the study of Nigeria politics and political development has found that the social disequilibrium is the result of competition between the elite groups and political actors in Nigerian body politics from independence till date hinges on ethnic dichotomy. They were facts of physical-territorial barriers, ethnic plurality, separate historical experiences, different customs and languages, uneven level of development and social and class cleavages are not in themselves necessary causes or facilitators of ethnic conflict and competition.
