Consensus politics In Nigeria Is Often Just Power Being Outsourced To A Small Circle Of Influential Elites - Peterside

In our specific case, what we are observing in the primaries begins with the clearance of candidates to contest elections. For the first time, we are seeing sitting members of the National Assembly being cleared to recontest, alongside a relatively high rate of disqualification. In some cases, disqualifications are based on issues as minor as the number of sponsors not being registered or fee-paying members of the party.
