• W2770946270 abstract "Political Party is a formal institution in a liberal democracy.  It performs a central role in the enthronement o an enduring democratic legacy in any society yearning for political development.  Its importance is further seen in the fact that even in an authoritarian society despots always hide under its platform to perpetrate their unwholesome acts.  Nigerian political parties, since 1922 when the first political party- Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP)- was founded have been known to have fared differently in the area of national integration which is an important function of a political party.  The central objective of this study therefore, is to carry out an appraisal of how Nigerian parties have fared in the area of the integration of the country.  Other objectives include; (i)assessing how a party can perform its integrative function, (ii) assessing constitutional provisions in Nigeria as they affect the integrative role of political parties vis-a-vis party activities in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic; and (iii) advancing strategies on how Nigerian parties of the Fourth Republic can better perform their integrative role in the country.  The study adopts historical cum comparative methods as its research instrument for gathering all the necessary information. The theoretical framework adopted for the study is ‘structural functionalism.  Some of the findings of the study include the following; (i) Nigerian parties before the Second Republic did not make the performance of integrative role a serious business; (ii)there were no manifest constitutional provisions or code of conduct for political parties that made it compulsory for Nigerian parties to key into the integrative efforts of successive regimes in the country, prior to the 1979 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; (iii) there has been a high level of compliance to the constitutional provision and electoral laws as they affect national cohesion by the Nigerian Parties of the Fourth Republic in the area of party organisation; (iv) activities of Nigerian Parties in the Fourth Republic in some instances, have given credence to the fact that they have not totally keyed into the integrative guidelines or provisions contained in the 1999 Constitution of the Fourth Republic of Nigeria (as amended); and (v) the signing of non-violence pacts before the 2015 General Elections went a long way to reduce the incidence of violence in the country to the barest minimum.  Furthermore, the policy of making a defeated candidate to congratulate the winner of an election dropped the number of litigations to the barest minimum in 2015. Based on these guidelines, the study proffers the following as the strategies that can make Nigerian political parties fair well in the task of national integration; (i) party organisation and its activities or operations should continue to be guided by constitutional provisions as spelt out in sections 222 and 223; (ii)the country’s Election Management Body (EMB) (currently the Independent National Electoral Commission – INEC) should,  on an interval of two years be subjecting the organisation programmes and activities of registered political parties to a review and deregister any of them that contravenes aspects relating to their integrative role. This is necessary because there is no alternative to the unity of the country; (iii) the country’s EMB should be organising interactive sessions with the registered political parties in the country to guard against or reduce the incidence of political parties violating the aspects of their code of conduct bordering on national integration; and the signing of non-violence pacts should form part of the political parties code of conduct as developed by the Inter-Party Advisory Council. Furthermore, major political players should respect the rule of the game- accepting defeat." @default.
