The lack of ideology of our political parties makes it easy for our politicians to jump from one party to the other without much hesitation.
Ideology can be defined as an orientation that characterized the thinking of a group or nation.
The Nigerian power elite, whether in the ruling APC or the opposition PDP only thinks of power from hegemonic perspective.
Hegemony is the dominance or leadership of one social group or nation over others.
There are about 91 registered political parties currently in Nigeria and what this implies is that there are parties with no ideologies. Ideally, a two-party system should be the best option for Nigeria instead of these mushroom parties with no ideology. It should be whether you are for the conservative or the progressive.
The recent defections by politicians in this country also show that political parties in Nigeria lack ideologies.
Our politicians are in power to sustain themselves. Unfortunately, the youths whose future was being destroyed by the actions and inactions of these crops of politicians were regrettably celebrating their actions.
The current defections and counter defections of our politicians from one political party to the other sadly confirm that our politicians are deeply corrupt and without ideology. How can we grow and develop as a nation when most of them are in politics to sustain themselves with stolen money?
In the advanced countries, parties are identified by the ideology they preach but that’s not the case with Nigeria, it is about selfish interest.
The defections in Nigeria politics are merely for selfish interests, not common good. The same set of people were in the ruling PDP before 2015 elections and merely decamped to APC seeing that APC will enable them win elections.
As long as such defection is for self, it has no usefulness to Nigeria on the long run.
It is this character of appearing differently (in time and colour) that tend to confuse people to think that such change is an evolution.
True evolution change or defection comes with different content, message and structure that MUST address the fundamental defects of the old order.
In good politics, defections MUST be as a result of change in ideological principle of the politician.

Our ideology is built on NEPOTISM, CORRUPTION, HEDONISM, VIOLENCE etc

There's actually ideology in Nigerian politics. Let me pin-point the ideology of some Nigerian political parties.

PDP - Share the money
APC - Oppose and blame PDP
APGA - Igbo agenda
AD - Yoruba agenda
LP - Workers' well-being

However, the single general ideology of all Nigerian parties is STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE as coined by Ayo Fayose. Lol.
