The conducive and peaceful environment is also a necessity for effective and efficient operation of the business. It is generally believed that political stability results to business stability, while political instability encourages business instability. Besides, political risk complicates the planning activities of business organizations. Decisions and risks that are associated with politics are also factors that will jeopardize business strategy or severally damage the firms (Demaki, 1999). Risk and instability in politics have created fear and panic in the heart of entrepreneurs over the ages while making investment within and outside country.
