He forgot that Oby Ezekwesili is representing an international women coalition in the committee hearing room and that the international…

Nigeria’s Coalition Experiments: A Tumultuous Dance Of Power And Fragmentation – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Nigeria’s Coalition Experiments: A Tumultuous Dance of Power and Fragmentation The First Republic: A House DividedNigeria’s inaugural attempt at coalition-building during the First Republic (1963–1966) epitomized the perils of regionalism.
