Résumé
Avec le retour à la démocratie en 1999, les citoyens ont espéré que les choses vont changer pour le
mieux. Un tel enthousiasme a été le postulat de la conviction que la gouvernance démocratique
facilitera l’acheminement des dividendes de la démocratie en termes de bien-être social, de justice,
d’équité et d’égalité d’accès aux ressources et au pouvoir et d’une saine gestion des ressources
nationales. Cette contribution examine les principaux défis auxquels la gouvernance démocratique
est confrontée au Nigéria depuis le retour à la démocratie en 1999. Elle fait valoir que ces défis de la
gouvernance démocratique parmi lesquels la corruption, la crise du leadership, la fraude électorale,
la contestation constitutionnelle entre autres ont affecté l’institutionnalisation de la démocratie
constitutionnelle dans le pays, ce qui en fait un mirage. Elle conclut que la responsabilisation et la
transparence dans la gouvernance, l’adhésion aux principes éthiques de la démocratie entre autres
ne sont pas seulement la promotion de la bonne gouvernance, mais constituent aussi des
caractéristiques majeures de la création d’une démocratie d’un pays.
