Abstract

Political miscalculation has emerged as a significant factor contributing to leadership failure in Nigeria, undermining the country's potential for growth and development. This appraisal explores how inaccurate assessments, flawed decision-making, and poor judgment by political leaders have led to governance breakdowns and societal discontent. Key areas of miscalculation include faulty policy formulation, underestimation of public sentiment, ethno-religious mismanagement and misjudgement of political opposition. These errors have resulted in a loss of public trust, weakened institutions, and political instability. The study emphasizes the need for Nigerian leaders to adopt inclusive governance practices, enhance accountability, and prioritize accurate information in decision-making processes to mitigate political miscalculations and improve leadership outcomes. Addressing these failures is critical for ensuring sustainable development and political stability in Nigeria
