Abstract

Party politics started in Nigeria with the lifting of ban on political parties which saw the emergence of the first political party in 1923. This was basically a fulcrum towards achieving independence which was attained in October 1, 1960. However, the beginning of party politics that was devoid of ethnic bigotry later took ethnic and religious dimensions. Thus, this to a large extent has characterized Nigeria politics till day. This work also brings to bare the challenges faced by various political parties at different democratic dispensations. Aside from that, some aspects of intergroup relations especially in the Plateau area of central Nigeria have also re-shaped social-political life of the peoples. However, this study is achieved by interrogating evidences from primary and secondary sources in order to bridge the gap in the historiography of Nigeria’s political life.
