The fact that beclouded the Democratic elite hostility has been blown open by the inability of the Democratic propaganda to ratify the bankruptcy of the capitalist pattern of democracy, this Democracy which consist in the failure of participation and also concern of the mediocrity of leader. The abstract shall demonstrate the inherent danger in Exclusive Democracy in Nigeria.
