About the Book

This book addresses various issues that have arisen in the practice of democracy in Nigeria since 1999, focusing on the Obasanjo years (1999-2007). Nigeria’s return to democratic rule has been marked by developments such as the implementation of reforms to address perceived economic problems and corruption. The introduction of democracy in the country has also witnessed many challenges, including the difficult relationship between some political chief executives and their deputies; intriguing intergovernmental relations; the rise and resurgence of sub-national groups that pose serious threat to the hegemony of the state; precarious inter-ethnic/inter-sectional relations; attempts to perpetuate the tenure of chief executives through constitutional amendments; and developments in electoral politics and conflicts. The book provides incisive analysis into these issues.

Review :
…A rare comprehensive assessment….presented in a lucid but elegant manner and undertak[ing] critical analysis of the policies and politics of the Obasanjo administration. The book is stimulating and reflects a deep understanding of the subjects covered. The book…critically interrogates the major challenges in the areas of policies and politics in Nigeria since 1999….I commend the book to all scholars and practitioners who are interested in the socio-political development of Nigeria as well as the discerning public. …Penetratingly examines the Obasanjo administration, underlining its high and low points….provid[ing] profound analysis of the major policies of that government.
