The First Political Parties Of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic

Nigeria’s Fourth Republic began on May 29, 1999, marking the end of military rule and the return to democratic governance with new political parties, promises, and expectations.

Parties like the PDP, AD, and APP emerged with manifestoes focused on unity, reform, and development, shaping the country’s first civilian election in years.

To mark this year’s Daily Trust Annual Dialogue, we are going to present a series of programmes on the theme “Nigeria’s Fourth Republic: What is Working and What is Not?

And today, we are going to look at the first political parties of the Fourth Republic.
