The questions that this study seeks to address are:

2) In what ways do intra-party crisis have any effect on the democratic process in Nigeria?
3) To what extent will party-members defection affect democratic deepening in Nigeria?
4) To what extent doeslack of internal democracy by the PDP and APC affecting the sustenance of democracy in Nigeria?
5) What are the challenges of consolidating democracy in Nigeria?
1.6 Significance of the Study
Previous
researchers have been very divergent in their views about the possible
correlates of political parties and democratic consolidation in Nigeria,
this study will therefore be of great significance as it will add to
the already existing body of knowledge in this regard.
It is
anticipated that the analytical, conceptual and theoretical analysis
will not just contribute to understanding of the dynamics of political
parties and democracy in Nigeria, but will articulate sound policy
recommendations to foster democratic consolidation in Nigeria.
In a
whole, the outcomes of the study will serve as a useful tool for
students of the Lagos State University, who would want to carry out
further research in this domain. It would also be useful to scholars in
political science. The study would in fact be significant to policy
makers and implementers at large, as they will find the result and
recommendations of the study very useful.
1.7 Scope of the Study
The
scope of the study defines the research boundary. Therefore this study
encompasses political parties and democratic consolidation in Nigeria
vis-à -vis the inter-party crisis, party-members’ defection, lack of
internal democracy and the challenges of democratic consolidation in
Nigeria. The study will be limited in scope to thePeople’s Democratic
Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC).
