Abstract

Corruption without doubt is a hydra-headed monster capable of inflicting colossal damage on a nation and its citizenry, by truncating initiatives for economic growth and political stability. Indeed, corruption has eaten deep into the fabric of our society. This paper looked at how the political class used its wealth to suppress the masses in perpetrating itself in power, use the state machinery to rig and fraudulently turned results of election in its favour and did not bother to think it will ever be accountable, checked and questioned as regards moral justifications and rights members have to continue their acts. the paper critically analysed the level of corruption in the Nigerian political system from 1999 to date and also dug into the extent to which corruption had damaged the democratic values and the sincerity with which our leaders and political executives have reduced the search for a lasting democratic political order to a mere joke. Finally the article examined the value of our society vis-a-vis political accountability and the extent of corruption which makes us to wonder if the society of today was not really the offshoot of the original traditional society.
