dc.description.abstractThere is consensus among scholars that of political party is an instrument for promoting national integration of culturally variegated societies and democratic sustenance. This is by virtue of its diverse social base and organizational arrangement, which link the rulers with the ruled on the one hand and, on the other hand, peoples of diverse socio-cultural leanings. The importance of this role is underscored by the fact that the task of engendering national cohesion cannot be confined strictly to formal state institutions alone. Taking a cursory look at the Nigerian state, this paper examines the socio cultural variations of the entity vis-a-vis the expected roles of political parties in national integration. Thus, drawing heavily from experiences since 1999, it is held that Nigerian political parties are yet to comprehend or appreciate its role in the task of national integration and nation building. Rather, the contradictions they engender do reinforce the integration crises.en_US
