| Résumé: | This article attempts to support the thesis that the Third Republic of Nigeria, scheduled for 1992, is likely to witness a lessening tension between religion and politics. In essence, the argument is that the politics of religion has been more obtrusive under military than under civilian rule. In conclusion, it is argued that the outlook for the Third Republic is optimistic. The demands of the proposed two-party system would ensure that the two parties would be under pressure to formulate platforms that would appeal to the broadest spectrum of voters. This could rule out or minimize political campaigns along religious lines. (Documentatieblad/ASC Leiden) |
