PDP reports Tinubu, Wike to Trump, begs him to save Nigeria’s democracy

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the international community, particularly the United States, to intervene and safeguard democracy in Nigeria.

The appeal follows the chaos that erupted at the PDP National Secretariat in Wadata Plaza, Abuja, on Tuesday, when two factions of the party clashed while attempting to hold separate meetings at the same venue.

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed claimed that he and his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, were tear-gassed during the incident.

Addressing journalists after the fracas, PDP National Chairman Tanimu Turaki alleged that some party members were also shot by the police.

He stated, “Some of our members who came here to attend meetings have been shot by the police. Democracy in Nigeria is under threat. We are now calling on the international community. I want to call on President Trump… this is not just about attacks on Christians, he should come and help save democracy in Nigeria. I also appeal to all developed nations to come and assist in preserving our democracy.”
