"In this scholarly work, Nigeria's 2019 electoral exercise comes under academic scrutiny, from analysts, who leave no stone unturned in their illuminating critique. The text captures the agony, contradictions and exhilaration associated with ballot box elections."
Professor Gloria Emeagwali, Central Connecticut State University

"Elections in Africa are problematic. This is an incontrovertible statement. The point of contestation, however, is why this is the case. In this book edited by Egodi Uchendu and D. J. Egbe, the voices of engaged scholars are brought together to provide a coherent and plausible explanation. The papers collected in this book offer penetrating insight into Nigeria's democratic experience in the present decade. The diversity of viewpoints expressed are connected by the common goal of helping the reader to think critically about political history and experience. Scholars and general readers have a lot to learn from this timely and important book."
Uchenna Okeja, Professor and Head of Philosophy Department, Rhodes University

"Egodi Uchendu and Olawari Egbe's edited volume on presidential electioneering politics in Nigeria in 2019 has exposed the disease that still plagues African nascent democratic experience. Hope for a better future continues to be a distant dream that we think will not be deferred."
Professor Kehbuma Langmia, Howard University

"The book Nigeria's 2019 Democratic Experience brings together well-curated essays to understand Nigeria's particularities and broader issues in its democratic process. This book is a welcome addition to the stock of knowledge on the context and challenges of elections in Africa. This is a keen collector's delight."
