There is an alarming rise in organised political defections in Nigeria .
Although she is being
hyped as the giant of Africa, the democracy in Nigeria
is not practised like in countries such as Ghana ,
Sierra Leone , Botswana , Tanzania ,
Liberia , Senegal and Zambia with stable democracies. Nigeria ’s version is a guided
democracy and a democracy for the few.

What are the reasons
for the surge in defections? Turncoats complain about the absence of internal
democracy in their parties and of political witch-hunt by political gladiators.
Do you agree with the
beliefs of these defectors?
Particularly since no
mention is made about the developmental interests of Nigeria as reasons for changing
sides.
