Besides, unity of purpose has been particularly the major objective of the groups because it gives room for united voice. Be that as it may, while the pressure group is formed to influence the government, political parties are organized for taking certain decisions that always favor them. In other words, a pressure group is organized with a view to lobbying in order to enjoy certain benefits and the political party with aim of controlling the reign of government. This study takes a glossy look at the above as it adopts both the primary and secondary sources of information to drive home points and this will serve as model for&amp;nbsp;every Nigerian&amp;nbsp;to emulate.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
