 62 years on, Nigeria is still in the process of stabilizing its political terrain for a better government. Political stakeholders say the nation is in dire need of an impactful political structure and electoral processes. Plus the video's correspondence with Manuel Olubobokun in this special report takes a look at the political and electoral outlook of the nation. Stop-ranking Nigerians wearing their finest robes watched in dignified silence as the climax of Independence Day was reached. In handing over the documents to the federal prime minister, Alhagis Abubakar Tafawa Belewa, a royal highness handed over sovereignty to a new nation. Political environments in Nigeria has featured severe contestations among the country's diverse ethnic groups. The country's full set of political parties was formed in 1959, shortly before independence. In 2020, the nation's election on pie, INAG, succeeded in reducing the political parties from 92 to 18. Currently, there are two major political parties, the ruling or progressive Congress, APC, and its opposition, the People's Democratic Party, PDP. However, other parties like the Labour Party and others are beginning to make waves contending for recognition. Established parties have more seats in national assembly than smaller parties. The ruling party and the main opposition party do not have much of a stronghold or influence on the minds of people as they used to. They are now alternative parties that people are considering voting for. The way politics are in today is said to be controlled by desperate politicians whose only goal is to prepare the ground for the nation's treasury and commonwealth. As the nation moves into another election year, there seems to be an awakening to change the tide in favour of the people through the ballot. We are seeing signs of dramatic shifts in orientation, in public consciousness and in participation, particularly by groups that were previously inactive. So we have seen people channel and transform previous grievances into opportunities for political participation. The major factor that I see, which makes me conclude that 2023 elections will be radically different from the previous ones, is that there is an active participation of young Nigerians. Not just in support of any candidate, but in the political discourse, in trying to set the agenda for especially the presidential candidates. Optimising on the part of citizens is attaining a dramatic increase as regards the fourth common 2023 general elections. The politicians need to let the followers know that it should be a kind of issue-based campaign that have they been able to better the lives of people, the followers, have they been able to better the lives of people? The promises they made, they never fulfilled it. The one that said, okay, employment to the other regime, they said they would bring employment, the cost of living would be low, but then they are now under the cost of living as skyrockets. Any president that is coming should know what is at stake now, should understand, not like game blaming. Do you understand? They should know what is on ground, there is inflation in the land, are they competent enough? The A or she fail is able to drive or sell us to the island we are going. The country has been arced by issues of insecurity to economic downturn, infrastructure deficits, battling health care and education system among others. However, as a race to the 2023 pose ought up, migrants believe once the political terrain is stable, good and impactful, governance can begin. From the central government to the state and others, the choice of those to lead would depend on the electorate, Emmanuel Odububukon, Close TV News.
