dc.description.abstractAbstract The June 12, 1993 presidential election was a historic election that not only brought Nigerians together in terms of unity of purpose but as well as marked the peak of activities towards an emerging Third Nigerian Republic. Prior to 1993 when the June 12 election took place, Nigeria has had two previous Republics. First was between 1960 when the country gained independence and January 1966 when the first military coup led to dismantling of the democratic structures. Second was the short-lived period of 1979 to 1983 when another military coup led by Major Generals Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon sent the civilian administration parking. This paper examined the June 12, 1993 Presidential election in Nigeria. Through an examination of some secondary data, it argued that the June 12, 1993 Presidential election by its annulment, failed to usher-in a Third Nigerian Republic amongst other consequences which it has for the Nigerian state. It also defied existing pattern of political contestations in the country. Above all, the experience is pregnant with some lessons for the future of politics in Nigeria.
