dc.description.abstractThe paper examined Christian religious leadership roles in democratic Nigeria. It showed how the political elites (practioners) have at different times subverted the essence of democratic governance in the country since independence and thus, tactically encouraging political instability. The study revealed that, the relative stability being enjoyed in the polity is the application of biblical ethical values and principles. Relevant data were obtained through secondary method and empirically discussed. However, for the purpose of this paper, transactional and transformational theories of leadership are being examined. The paper concluded that sustainable democracy will continue to be a mirage in the country until political power is held and used in the interest of many. Good governance, transparency and accountability as suggested by biblical principles and stickly applied as necessary vitamins that will bring about democratic consolidation in the Nation.en_US
