This paper provides an overview of the dynamics of religion, political godfatherism [i.e. the act of mentoring people into political office for purposes of indirect control of appointments and public funds] and democratization in the South Eastern Nigeria with a special focus on Anambra state since 1999 when the country returned to civilian rule after sixteen years of military rule. Methodologically, this paper adopted public choice theory and survey methods of inquiry with 1800 questionnaires distributed. With the aid of tables andarithmetic percentage formula, this paper observes that political elites hijacked party structures using party financing and impose candidates after reaching agreements with them on the party and the state for purposes of rent seeking and political dominance. Religious oaths using African Traditional Religious rituals were used to safeguard these pre-electoral agreements, and by the application of existing political schisms between Catholic and Anglican churches, they seek support for their candidates.
