PDP Chairman turaki.webp
The Digest:

Newly-elected PDP National Chairman Kabiru Turaki has made an urgent appeal to U.S. President Donald Trump and the international community to "save democracy in Nigeria," accusing a government minister of leading police-backed thugs to attack the party’s headquarters.

Key Points:
  • Turaki pleaded for international intervention during a press conference at the PDP secretariat.
  • He alleged that Nyesom Wike led thugs with police support to disrupt party activities.
  • The appeal follows violent clashes between Turaki’s faction and Wike-backed members.
  • Turaki vowed that his group is “willing to lay down our lives” to protect their mandate.
  • He framed the conflict as a threat not just to the PDP but to Nigerian democracy itself.
  • Parallel meetings scheduled by both factions led to chaos at the party headquarters.
  • The chairman also raised concerns about “genocide against Nigerian Christians.”
In a storm where political rivalry spills into global appeals, the very foundations of party integrity now rest on cries for foreign salvation.
