Throughout its history, Nigeria has been plagued by religious
divisions. Tensions have only intensified since the restoration of
democracy in 1999, with the divide between Christian south and
Muslim north playing a central role in the country's electoral
politics, as well as manifesting itself in the religious warfare
waged by Boko Haram. Through the lens of Christian-Muslim struggles
for supremacy, Ebenezer Obadare charts the turbulent course of
democracy in the Nigerian Fourth Republic, exploring the key role
religion has played in ordering society. He argues the rise of
Pentecostalism is a force focused on appropriating state power,
transforming the dynamics of the country and acting to demobilize
civil society, further providing a trigger for Muslim revivalism.
Covering events of recent decades to the election of Buhari,
Pentecostal Republic shows that religio-political contestations
have become integral to Nigeria's democratic process, and are
fundamental to understanding its future.
