The study adopted the use of survey questionnaire based on Omoluabi perspective and political leaders in the country, data were collected from individuals at newspaper vendor stands. The findings include the following; Omoluabi is highly important to political development in Nigeria, majorly, voters contribute to the corrupt practices that political leaders exhibit. This implies that citizenry have roles to play in curbing the corruption among political leaders in the country by electing good people (Omoluabi). The study finds out that the role of citizenry encourages corruption among political leaders by selling their votes. The study recommends that citizens should use their vote as their right in electing good leaders for the country instead of selling their votes. Nongovernmental organisation as well as concerned organisation should embark on sensitization programme to educate the citizenry on the use of their vote as their power to choose rightful leaders for peaceful and corruption free society.
