Résumé

Cet article étudie les dimensions contemporaines de la politique électorale au Nigeria, dans un contexte historique. Il procède à un détail de diverses ques- tions, évènements et développements survenus avant, pendant et après les élections. L’argument central posé est que le Nigeria a souffert de déficits institutionnels (organisations+valeurs/règles/normes) et empiriques concernant les garde-fous nécessaires à une politique électorale favorable au renouvellement et à la consolidation démocratiques. Les organisations ont été privées de valeurs indispensables leur permettant de devenir des institutions efficaces, tandis que les valeurs dominantes produisaient, elles, un effet nuisible sur la politique démocratique. Si les longues années de dictature sous un régime colonial, militaire et civil expliquent en partie l’instabilité de la politique électorale au Nigeria, la nature de la gouvernance politique, son manque de prévoyance ainsi que son faible engagement et son expérience insuffisante en matière de gestion démocratique de la diversité dans le cadre d’une gouvernance raisonnable, ont contribué à dévaluer la politique et les élections au Nigeria, réduisant ainsi littéralement ce dernier élément à un simple instrument de guerre. Les marchands électoraux ou mieux, les barons de la politique ont détourné le processus électoral en marginalisant les populations, désapprouvant les voix et choix de ces dernières, conduisant ainsi progressivement la quatrième république vers une chute systémique. La mise en place d’un système électoral fonctionnel et transparent nécessitera une réévaluation de la capacité institutionnelle et de l’ethos politique par les élites politiques nigérianes.
