Abstract
Since the emergence of democratically elected government on 29th May, 1999, in Nigeria, Edem Eke Odobo Ugwuinyi Areji, Community as a community in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State has been very inactive and apathetic in all activities directly or indirectly associated with the acquisition, sustenance and expansion of the Nigerian state power. By this, the elites in Edem have completely failed to uplift Edem as one political unit. Because of this, Edem has remained politically dormant among other communities in the current democratic era in Nigeria. with this, this work investigates the political status of Edem as one political unit using the theory of Elitism. From this, some challenges which have hindered political recognition of Edem in the contemporary political era are outlined. This is advanced with the analysis of the prospects of Edem as one community reclaiming her lost political status. The work then ends with a recommendation that Edem needs to be reconceptualised as one indivisible political unit in order to be politically vibrant and relevant in the existing democratic project in Nigeria.
