GROUP PETITIONS UK PARLIAMENT, WARNS OF LOOMING INSTABILITY, WANTS WIKE SANCTIONED FOR ANTI-DEMOCRATIC ACTS

A civic movement under the banner Nigeria Unite has petitioned the United Kingdom Parliament, raising alarm over what it describes as the rapid disintegration of Nigeria’s democracy under the watch of ruling party elements — with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike fingered as the chief architect of an unfolding crisis.

In the petition signed by Sunday Daniel and addressed to Dame Emily Thornberry, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the group accused Wike and his collaborators of weaponizing state power to silence opposition, manipulate institutions, and subvert the rule of law — warning that their actions mirror the authoritarian patterns that have already consumed Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

The petition describes a “systematic campaign to emasculate opposition voices” through intimidation, judicial manipulation, and resource blackmail. It alleges that the Minister’s unchecked influence, coupled with the All Progressives Congress’ growing intolerance for dissent, is steering Nigeria dangerously close to one-party rule.

“Democratic institutions are being hollowed out,” the petition states, citing the National Assembly’s growing subservience to the executive, the muzzling of opposition politicians, and the weaponization of state resources to force defections into the ruling party.

Nigeria Unite urged the African Union, European Union, and Western governments to intervene urgently, calling for targeted sanctions against Wike, complicit judges, and security officials. The group warned that the collapse of democracy in Nigeria — Africa’s most populous nation — could trigger continent-wide instability, migration surges, and a full-scale humanitarian crisis.

“If unchecked,” the petition concludes, “the reckless conduct of Wike and his enablers will not only destroy Nigeria’s democracy but set the entire Sahel region on fire.”



The group regretted how President Tinubu gave unlimited leverage to the FCT Minister Wike to veer into national political party matters.

Now Wike is trending even internationally, albeit for the wrongest reasons.
