dc.description.abstractOath-taking is not a new thing in Nigerian politics. Today, it raises alarm as it assumes another dimension because of the horrific behaviours and outcomes of office holders during and after their tenure in political offices. Existing religions in Nigeria stand against non-adherence to oath-taking generally and there are attendant consequences for violation of oath-taking. It is from this aspect that this paper examined oath-taking in a general view through its practice in Nigerian politics, non-adherence to oath-taking by political office holders, with its implications from both spiritual and ethical perspectives focusing on the main religions in Nigeria – Christianity, Islam and Indigenous Religions. The methodologies adopted in this study are historical, interpretative, descriptive, and comparative. The paper spelt out the possible outcomes of non-adherence to oath-taking by our leaders, which are economic woes, political instability, insecurity, corruption, and setbacks to the nation at large. To address these, recommendations were given as a way forward to curb this menace.en_US
