The overwhelming effect
of the military and colonial rule on the third world is clear in all
undertakings, as scholars have widely analyzed. It is through the same chronological
configuration and circumstances of social classes and interests, that the
political class of Nigeria emerged, which accounts mainly for apolitical
behaviors. The reason is that being one of the Western imperialism’s creatures,
the natural leaning is to build Nigeria safe for their selfish interests.
We can say there is a
high chance that they will marginalize and exploit. However, the position is
that the political environment of Nigeria in post-colonial period has the rare chance
to secure political stability, make political elites, as well as, safeguard the
hard-earned liberty and democracy. For instance, the leadership and the respective
political and socio-economic policies remain untouched.
The Nigerian political elite are just an incoherent group,
which is a decisive cause in exacerbating the Nigerian political crisis. This
is in the contest of this relationship, which we seek to clarify the nature of
its political elites. We also seek to clarify the nature of the Nigerian state and
its connection with the different Nigerian political crisis explicable in the current
suspected politically motivated assassination and the implication on the
Nigerian Democracy.
