Elections have always been the albatross of successive administrations in Nigeria. Electoral malpractice led to the collapse of the first and second republics. The media and electoral politics in Nigeria is a study about media effect in the electoral process in Nigeria. The book has high lighted media role in election with a view to determining the extent of its influence and whether the information the media provides to the public on electoral matters help the electorates in shaping voter opinion. The book has also analyzed the dangers of turning Nigeria into a one party state going by the fierce struggles for political office by contending power blocs - is the media part of the conspiracy by the ruling class to perpetuate and dominate the Nigerian polity for selfish and class interests or in the interest of the larger society.
