“…To support these findings, Ineh-Dumbi (2021) confirmed that Nigeria's political structure is good at 'wasteful expenditure' of national resources. Moreover, to confirm the above findings, Emeh et al (2020) posited that NPS encourages corruption, greed, selfishness, impunity, and mismanagement of public funds; hence, the need for restructuring. In addition, Hanson-Agumbah (2022) revealed that the NPS is not based on national interest but on tribal and ethnic groups.…”

This study intends to develop a standard political structure in the Nigerian context that is national, economic, and social-political development oriented. Again, this study contributes to the deficiencies in the past literature on political science regarding political structure and good governance. There is a global paradigm shift in the citizens' acceptability of political decisions and promises, especially in Nigeria. The concept of emilokanism is an antidemocratic political structure. The downscale of citizens' trust in the government keeps decreasing. The U.S. citizens' trust in government dropped from 77% in the 1960s to 54% in 2001 and then went down to 17% in 2019. However, European and Asian countries are not left out. Nigeria is not exceptional in this drop in government trust among citizens due to the so-called political structure. Nigerian Leaders are the viruses eating deep into the mechanism and framework of the country. The cost of running a corrupt government is much higher than running a corrupt-free nation. In this article, the authors employed a scoping review of studies on political studies, political structure, good governance, political corruption, and politics to demystify the repulsive nature of political structure in Nigeria and provide recommendations for a more refined architecture. The findings revealed that one of the significant reasons for corruption among Nigerian political leaders is the political structure. Nigeria's political system gives room for corruption and thereby economically enslaves her citizenry.

The present political structure of Nigeria has proved unfavourable to Nigerians. This has led to catastrophic situations in Nigeria. This article evaluates the role of the Church in the fight to curb these catastrophes in the form of rising spates of insecurity, corruption, separatist agitation and marginalisation. These challenges have led to serious underdevelopment, poverty and unemployment, mostly in South-East Nigeria. Nigeria’s inefficiency as a nation stems from a long history of poor leadership from the time of colonial rule until today, partly because of the unbalanced political structure in the country. The history of poor leadership has denied Nigerians the opportunity of achieving a new Nigeria like other countries of the world. The study uses a descriptive historical approach to investigate this challenging situation. As a result of the lack of true federalism demonstrated in the lack of a proper political structure in the country, the study advocated for restructuring the country’s political structure to meet the immediate and long-term needs of all, especially in South-East Nigeria.Contribution: Many Nigerian scholars have researched on the need to restructure Nigerian polity, but there is a paucity of literature on the role of the Church to achieve this, leading to a dire want of research materials in this regard. This research, therefore, contributes its quota to the search for the lingering problems of Nigeria as a nation.

Recently, prominent northerners, even military generals, have supported the call for restructuring. For example, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar made a call towards restructuring (Ajayi 2016). Bello (2017) noted that the Speaker, House of Representatives of Nigeria, Dogara suggested a 1.The United States government through its army has shown enough concern in the instability presently rocking Nigeria's political structure, what Bouchat (2013:2) called 'political economy'.Contribution: Many Nigerian scholars have researched on the need to restructure Nigerian polity, but there is a paucity of literature on the role of the Church to achieve this, leading to a dire want of research materials in this regard.
