Opis

The Nigeria military took over the political terrain in January 1966 accusing the First Republic politicians of corruption and mismanagement. The foundation of governance created in Nigeria politics during 1960 to 1966 was a reflection of ethnicity, political corruption, questionable national security, maladministration, prejudice, improper representation, confusing state of policy propagation, and a drifting nation in overview. The inability for the civilian government of Tafawa Belewa to conduct a free and fair election to transit to another civil rule created the avenue for military in Nigerian politics.
