The Party Machine: Why Political Parties Don't Serve You: Mass Reader Edition

Five weapons steal your vote before you cast it. APC and PDP are not opponents. They are partners in the same business — the business of keeping you divided while they divide the national cake. They wear different colours. They speak different regions. They pray different prayers. But their accounts receive from the same treasury. The Mass Reader Edition of The Party Machine follows Ibrahim — a statutory delegate arriving at an Abuja presidential primary with ₦20,000 in his pocket while three campaign teams arrive at his hotel room with $5,000, $8,000, and an open offer — and uses his experience to explain how Nigerian political parties operate as delegate markets where the voter is the last participant to arrive and the first to be forgotten.
