The development of political parties in Nigeria dates back to the days of the struggle for political independent in the late 1940s, when the nationalists were at the pre-independence and post-independence and the early post independence periods, political parties in Nigeria were not ideologically based. Rather, they were regionally based and woven around individual politicians who they saw as there mentors.

In the last ten years, however parties were registered based on the exigencies of the time. This was the scenario until 1998, the need to arose for parties that could usher Nigeria have developed and still play a vital role towards the realization of the democratic objectives. Indeed, the last fifty years.

From 1991-1993, Nigeria practiced a two-party system, with the government establishing the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and National Republic Convection (NRC). The military government later proscribed the parties after annulling a presidential election in 1993. But Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999.

The restoration of democratic government in 1999 led to a new approach to party politics in Nigeria. The procedure for registering political parties was liberalized, opening up the political space for mass participation in the political activities in the country.

Today, there are more than fifty registered political in Nigeria even though only few of them have not been able to win any election. The few political parties that have dominated the political space to the point that fears are being expressed that the country was drifting towards a one party state. Opposition parties are beginning to cross the ruling party both at the federal and state levels.
