The Paradox of Nigeria's Political Economy TAMEN, Didymus Political economy is the of study how communities pursue collective economic goals and deal with conflicts over resources and the other economic factors in authoritative way by means of government (Sodaro: 2001).

INTERNAL PARTY DEMOCRACY AS A PANACEA FOR FREE, FAIR AND CREDIBLE ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA. TAMEN, Didymus The paper agrees that democracy as a system of government has been adjudged as the best because of the opportunity it gives to the majority of the populace to participate in governance. It looks at the basic features and characteristics of democracy that distinguishes it from other forms of government. The paper' also traces the evolution of political parties in Nigeria and established that the Macpherson constitution of1951 was an important landmark in the political development of Nigeria, for it strengthened the political machinery through which Nigerians participated in the management of their affairs. It further argues that since parties constitute the heart of democracy, the more vigorous and healthy they are, the better assured is the health of democratic process itself. The paper laments that most parties pay lip service to the concept of internal democracy, and in reality do not practice it nor respect it. Be that as it may concludes the paper the hope for credible elections in Nigeria cannot be achieved in the near further. tanen.didymus@binghamuni.edu.ng

POLITICAL PARTIES AND LEADERSHIP RECRUITMENT IN NIGERIA: A Case Study of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) TAMEN, Didymus Political parties and leadership recruitment have been burning issues, not only in developing countries of the world but also in the advanced western countries. The most important function of a political party is the selection of leaders. The process of choosing a leader is informed by the need to have a better alternative. Thus, democracy implies the presence and existence of an informed electorate and an enabling environment for democracy to thrive in. According to Okadigbo (1987), "political leadership is the decision on social policy and resource allocation as exerted by partisan representatives". The leadership process is hinged on the capacity to allocate scarce resources, which determines the focus of power. A society without visionary and committed leaders will retrogress, or at best remain stagnant. tanen.didymus@binghamuni.edu.ng
