Politics That Works: What Schools & Seminars Won't Teach You About Winning Elections

A huge chunk of young and middle-aged elites in Nigeria say, “Politics is a dirty game” and, for that reason, have distanced themselves from it. While a significant number of this group of enlightened youths just want to focus on their profession and make a success of their personal lives; some others are passionate about fixing Nigeria but are going about it the wrong way– they have blatantly refused to be partisan, soothing themselves by attempting to transform/influence the system from outside. This book starts out with the concept that transforming Africa, with Nigeria as the focus, starts with young creative, dynamic and upright elites flooding the political space, taking over the structured parties and then dominating the seats of government. But, with the cabal holding tightly to power, how exactly do young elites take over? How would the broke and tactless youth get in the political ring with old, experienced and powerful politicians and win?

With a step-by-step guide, the authors present the answers to these questions. In this pleasantly-written manual, you’ll uncover deep and practical political tactics that have been tested and proven by political giants. It is sure to help you gain influence and power within the political space, without having to play dirty.
