Abstract
The discourse is premised on the assumption that ICT can be used as a method to engender security in politics and ginger the body polity into the democratic ideal. This will lead to peace in the society and an enabling environment for national development. Democratic ideal is an entity aspired to by most civilized countries as it can polish the politics and governance and ensure fairness and inclusiveness, thus paving the way for peace and development.
