Democracy is gradually triumphing in Nigeria, following the country’s return to democratic governance in 1999 after 16 years of military rule. This feat, which can be attributed to the resilience of Nigerians and support from the international community, has not been free from fluctuations. On average, however, the country appears not to be doing badly on the democratic front. This book examines the current practice of democracy in Nigeria. Having survived for over two decades without interruption and having held several civilian-to-civilian transition elections, democratic practice in the country has moved beyond the realm of nascence, as it has previously been described. Examining institutions of government such as the legislature, the executive and the judiciary, and semi-governmental institutions such as political parties and the entire governance process, the book will make a significant contribution to conversations about democratic practice in Nigeria, as well as providing comparative insight to other democracies.
