The first political party in Nigeria was formed after the introduction of the Clifford Constitution. The Clifford Constitution was introduced in 1922 by the British colonial government and it marked the beginning of constitutional reforms in Nigeria. The constitution created elective positions in the legislative council and allowed some Nigerians to participate in the government. However, it also limited the powers of Nigerians in the legislative council and gave the colonial governor ultimate power. The introduction of the Clifford Constitution sparked a movement for independence and led to the formation of the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), the first political party in Nigeria, in 1923.
