Abstract:
Nigeria local government system under the present democratic dispensation is bedeviled with myriad of challenges which have eroded its relevance towards the plights and expectations of rural populace. One of such distractions is incessant intra-party undemocratic practices. Acknowledging this factuality, this paper takes a critical look on the effects of intra-party undemocratic practices on governance and administration at the level of third-tier of Nigeria government. The methodology of this paper is a descriptive design where the authors used documentary and non-participant methods of data collection, and content-analyze data and events. The paper further revealed that most local government areas across the federation are embroiled with incidences of intra-party frictions caused by undemocratic practices with adverse effects on governance, stability and development at the rural areas. The paper therefore opined that advocacy, institutional reforms amid other measures are fundamental for democratic party politics and accountable governance at the level of rural administration in Nigeria.
