dc.description.abstractPolitical activities in Nigeria Fourth Republic was hitherto dominated by People Democratic Party for sixteen years. The party, for four uninterrupted general elections continually won the presidency and was able to secure comfortable majority in both Houses of the National Assembly. Majority of the states were under the control of the Party while opposition parties scrambled for few seats at the parliament and they managed to win few states. The domineering posture of PDP was however truncated in 2015 by all Progressive Congress (APC); a conglomeration of four leading political parties that merged in 2014 and late a faction of the then ruling party- PDP consisting of five state governors. APC from inception has had a fair share of intra-party conflict that has threatened the survival of the party. It is against this background that this paper, relying on qualitative method, sought to interrogate the causes of intra-party conflict within the fold of the APC and its attendant impacts on Nigeria’s young democracy. Going by the unavoidable yet, important functions party performs in a democracy, the paper provided a number for recommendation to forestall a slip into the ugly past of political violence caused by intra-party conflict.
