Abstract :
This is an expository analysis of the phenomenon of defection as it is practiced in Nigeria by partisan politicians. The paper examines defection in contemporary era. Emphasis is laid on secondary data and analysis was routed in the Games and Functional theoretical models. The paper attempted classification of political defection and looked at defection as a characteristic of a non-mature parochial political culture which Nigeria depicts. The study also analysed and revealed that defection impacts negatively on good governance. It was recommended that the people should be re-oriented and politicians should be exposed to extensive socialisation process, coupled with the establishment of legal framework to control political defection and its associated vicissitudes like political instability and tension, which are both signs of poor governance system.
