1.1 Background of the Study
Grassroots political movements play an essential role in the democratic process by mobilizing citizens at the local level and ensuring that political power is distributed equitably. These movements are particularly important in countries like Nigeria, where there are concerns about political apathy, elite domination, and voter disengagement.
