Abstract:

Since the return to democratic governance in Nigeria in 1999, democracy has remained grossly unstable. The political atmosphere has been characterized by so many factors such as violent ethno-religious crisis, sponsored killings and political assassinations, inter and intra-party crisis or squabbles and civil disobedience. At the centre of democratic instability in Nigeria is endemic bureaucratic and political corruption. This study indicates that political corruption has grave implication for democratic stability in Nigeria. It is concluded that democratic stability will be hard to attain as long as corruption remains a way of life and probability unchecked.
