The objectives of the study examinedthe effect ofpolitical leadership on national security. The study employed secondary data in gathering information from books, newspapers, Journals, magazines, and internet sources. Transformational Leadership theory was adopted in this study. It was found in the study that the state of insecurity which manifested inits variousforms such as terrorism, militancy, kidnapping, corruption, poverty, unemployment, violation of human rights, and underdevelopment of some regions in the country is a result of political leadershipby various Nigerian leaders in their respective administration and this has seriouseffects on the security of the country. The study proposesthat politicalleaders ofthe Nigerian state should protect the interest of their people rather than their own personal interests.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>OLAYINKA BABATUNDE  ADEBOGUN (CALEB UNIVERSITY, IMOTA, LAGOS)<\/li>\n<li>JOSEPH OLATUNJI  ODUNTAN (CALEB UNIVERSITY, IMOTA, LAGOS)<\/li>\n<li>ABRAHAM  EDEH<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Political Leadership, Leadership style, Governance, National security, insecurity, development<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: LEADERSHIP STYLE AND NATIONAL SECURITY IN NIGERIA: AN ASSESSMENT OF EBELE GOOD LUCK JONATHAN&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[1615,1012,2824,3400,2786,3334],"class_list":["post-6331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-development","tag-governance","tag-insecurity","tag-leadership-style","tag-national-security","tag-political-leadership","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
