Political Transition in Nigeria 1993-2003

Commentaries on Selected Themes

This is a collection of essays on a remarkable and turbulent period in the political history of Nigeria. Although written between 1999 and 2003, the focus of these essays reached far behind that period to the crises of the annulment of the June 12 1993 Presidential elections and its aftermath. The annulment marked a defining moment whose impact still haunts Nigeria's democratic experiment to date. The essays seek to offer both the general reader and professional an insight into the issues, currents and trends that defined this watershed decade and its sequel, of which the current political dispensation is a part.
