Democracy Under Threat In Nigeria, Save Us – Turaki Cries Out To Trump by Newsgeek24(op): 1:30pm On Nov 18, 2025

The newly elected National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Taminu Turaki, has called on United States President Donald Trump to come and save democracy in Nigeria.

Turaki made the call addressing journalists at the PDP headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.

The development followed tension at the party headquarters over attempts by warring factions to hold parallel meetings.

Very Nigerian reports that the faction led by Nyesom Wike, FCT minister, had clashed with Turaki’s faction at the party secretariat.

The new National Working Committee, NWC, elected at the convention in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, and the faction backed by Wike had fixed separate meetings for Tuesday.

However, a fight broke out at the PDP secretariat, with the Wike faction reportedly chased out of the premises

Meanwhile, addressing jourbalists, Turaki accused a certain minister, believed to be Wike, of leading thugs with active connivance and support of the police to create mayhem at the party secretariat.

He said: “I want to call on President Trump. What is at stake is not just genocide against Nigerian Christians, he should come and save democracy in Nigeria – democracy is under threat.

“I’m calling on all other developed nations, all advanced democracies, come and save Nigeria. Come and save democracy.

“Because I cannot understand how a certain Minister of the Republic of Nigeria will be leading thugs with active connivance and support of the police to come and create mayhem here.

“I have said it, we are willing to lay down our lives to protect our office, to protect our democracy to protect our mandate.

“So Nigerians, you are watching what is happening. International community, you are seeing the threat that Nigerian democracy is. Come and save us. Come and save us.”

This is what the PDP has been missing in terms of opposition. Give the incompetent Tinubu and his band of arrogant lackeys some smoke.

We can now see how f00lish this people are. Calling on Trump to come and save your country just because you cannot on your own manage the internal affairs of your party. And 2 governors are there shaking head like agama lizard. Seems PDP is not ready to lead this country. What's the business of Trump with your internal political issues? Of what value will Trump benefit from you as a factional party? I think I live how Wike is making you people cry. It shows he is bigger than you people

Threat to democracy was why the US intervened in Nigeria in 2015, it’s the same reason they’ll intervene again in Nigeria this time.

That mu-mu ticket will definitely cut in 2027. Deals are being made for a new dispensation that will take power out from religious extremists in the core North and their sympathizers/enablers in the SW.

When PDP was in power, may unbridled and unprincipled politicians oved en masse to PDP. Now, its APC's turn. If Labour Party wins tomorrow, maybe 90% of the politicians will move there. We dont have a democracy. What we are practicing is Opportunism.

All these calls to the U.S. President makes you wonder if Nigeria is a subdivision of the U.S. It is rather silly. Turaki and his clowns wanted this chaos. A drowning man will do anything. They had sufficient notice of the FCT Minister's meeting. Only gullible people will fall for this nonsense.
