(Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences 23(1), 2025) Chukwudi Ekene Celestina; Osimen Goddy U.; Ezebuilo Paul Chibuike; OLADIPO Temidayo David
Insurgency and insecurity have remained the outcome of the relationship between the ruling and the opposition party in Nigeria. The situation has kept the attention of government diverted to fighting insurgency and insecurity in the society thereby losing focus on the primary task of administration. It also examines the role of opposition parties in creating an atmosphere of insecurity in society and the fight against it. Most times, the efforts of the government in fighting insecurity are met with corruption among members thereby being part of the government's weakness. The study's conclusions were reached through the application of qualitative research techniques and the utilisation of secondary material from internet sources as well as books, journals, and newspapers. The analysis framework for this paper is based on Estonian System Theory. Research has revealed that opposition political parties can employ a variety of tactics to undermine the ruling party and force it from office, having initially served as watchdogs. The opposition party believes that every attempt to remove the ruling party draws them closer to victory. It is therefore concluded that opposition parties have become part of insurgency and insecurity in the state to weaken the ruling government, and drum for their yet-to-come government. The study recommends that the opposition party with the spirit of nation-building should join hands with the leading party in providing security and fighting insurgency for their interest and the general interest of society. The leading party must protect its members and the opposition.

Women Empowerment and Opposition Political Parties in Africa: Efforts Towards Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (Sdgs)
(Journal of Ecohumanism Volume: 3, No: 8,, 2024) Chukwudi Ekene Celestina; Eneanya Augustine Nduka; OLADIPO Temidayo David
This study is to explore different ways that opposition political parties have adopted towards the political empowerment of women in African society to ensure their well-being which is part of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number three (3) of United Nations Agenda 2030. The study is also out to explore the challenges facing the empowerment of women thereby disrupting their supposed contributions to the development of politics in general and political parties in particular within Africa. This study adopts qualitative research methods in the source for information which is secondary data. The sourced information is obtained from textbooks, Journals and conference publications, Newspapers, Magazines, and reliable internet materials. The theoretical framework adopted in this study is Liberal Feminism. The finding reveals opposition political parties do not have more political, economic, and social strength than the ruling political party in empowering the women, but they adopt different strategies that can help them to mobilize the women population. They do these by creating an acceptable quota system for women in their party leadership, creating women's wings, and economic development, reducing the cost of tickets for women, and raising funds for training and sponsoring women in political positions.The study concludes that opposition political parties have less of the needed political and economic strength to fully empower women and achieve their expected well-being as they lack control over the nation’s policies and adequate resources.
