Their role in the political system has impacted negatively on the politics of the country and constitutes a potential threat to the country’s nascent democracy, development and security. The objective of the study is to examine and analyze the impact of the Godfatherism on Nigerian politics. The study adopted quantitative and qualitative research techniques. The quantitative method involved the use of closed and open-ended questionnaires, while the qualitative method employed the use of unstructured interviews. A total number of 140 questionnaires were administered out of which only 131 were returned. The study adopted purposive sampling techniques to select respondents in the study area. Frequency distribution tables and simple percentage method were used to analyze the quantitative data, while explanatory research technique was utilized for the qualitative data. The findings of the study indicated among others that there is a linkage between godfatherism and political violence as a result of partisan interest of these political godfathers which leads to interference within the political process in Anambra state. The study thus recommends that policy options such as the promotion of free and fair elections, promotion of non-violent activities, litigation against indicted political godfathers, sensitization of political stakeholders, good governance practice, eradication of bribery and corruption, will go a long way in addressing the challenge of godfatherism and political violence in Anambra state and Nigeria as a whole. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)»The influence of employee behaviour on the internal audit function of an organization (a case study of P.Z. industries plc Aba)
