Nigeria’s dem ocracy has remained grossly unstable since the country returned to democratic form
of governance in 1999. The political terrain has been characterised by violent ethno-religious crisis, contract
killing and political assassinations, inter and intra-party fracas and civil disobedience. At the heart of
democratic instability in Nigeria is pandemic bureaucratic and political corruption. This study shows that
political and bureaucratic corruptions have grave implications for democratic stability in N igeria. It is argued
that democratic stability will be difficult to attain as long as corruption remain pandemic and unchecked.
Key words: Corruption, democracy, democratic consolidation, instability, legitimacy, violence, ,
