A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, led by Tanimu Turaki has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and security agencies in the country to immediately rein in violence in the country to save the nation’s democracy.
The party’s National Working Committee, NWC, gave the charge on Sunday after reviewing the current situation in the country, saying the nation’s democracy is gradually sliding into collapse and needed to be rescued immediately by the authority.
Turaki made the assertion yesterday at a press conference in Abuja, warning that the country is currently faced with situations that led to the collapse of the Frist and Second Republics, accusing the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC, to be looking the other way while the wave of violence persists.
According to him, the APC-led government have deliberately refused to do something to stop the violent attacks on the opposition and top politicians in the country, who are not its members because of the party’s quest to remain in power at all cost.
He stressed that the country is heading for a dangerous political path because of the dangerous strategy of cohersion adopted by the ruling APC to ensure that the opposition is silenced and weakened at all cost, accusing the ruling party of compromising the system, including the judiciary, which he said appeared to have lost its independence, citing the recent judgment of an Abuja Federal High Court, which sacked the David mark-led NWC, the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and other candidates running under the NDC platform in the 2027 general election.
He explained further that all that seems to matters to the Tinubu administration is to win next year’s election at all cost, regardless the feelings of Nigerians, asking what the party would gain by winning the election at all cost when the country is thrown into total chaos.
‘’What will it profit their party and candidates if they force a ‘win’ at the elections, but completely lose the country and derail democracy?” Turaki said.
