The Challenges of Financing Political Parties in Nigeria: A Focus on The All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP)

Abstract

A detailed analysis of party finance in Nigeria indicates that there is partial cartelization of party politics parties in Nigeria, as a result political parties heavily depend on the state or some individuals "who have access to state funds for their finances. Consequently, this has severely limited the capacity of the political parties in general and the ANPP as an opposition party ing particular from either having access to finance or generate the necessary finance needed to carry out its functions before, during and after elections.
