Africa-Press – Nigeria. The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, has described as unpatriotic and inferiority-driven, the call of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for foreign intervention in the party’s affairs.
In a statement by the party’s National Chairman, Falalu Bello, on Wednesday, sathe call is an insult to Nigeria’s sovereignty, independence, and dignity; values that countless patriots have fought to uphold.
Bello said such a call is not only unpatriotic but also exposes an alarming inferiority complex that continues to plague some of Nigeria’s politicians.
He added that the call reflects a troubling failure to have confidence in Nigeria’s inherent resilience, democratic institutions, no matter the general perception about them, and the collective strength of its people.
The newly elected National Chairman of the PDP, Taminu Turaki, had called on United States President Donald Trump to come and save democracy in Nigeria.
But the PRP National Chairman said, “ Nigeria is a sovereign nation and founded as a republic, with defined territories, independent government and free from any external interference.
“Our challenges must be solved through internal dialogue, robust democratic processes, and patriotic leadership – not through external forces and foreign powers that may seek to manipulate our internal affairs for their own interests.
“The PRP reminds Turaki and his ilk that Nigeria does not need the interference of imperialist states to resolve its crises; it needs genuine patriotism, unity, internally driven solutions and of course, genuine partners that will not take advantage of the nation.
“We call on Tanimu Turaki and the PDP to immediately withdraw this incendiary and misguided statement. We also urge all Nigerian leaders to uphold the dignity of our nation and to resist any temptation to undermine our sovereignty through appeals to foreign powers. Nigeria’s strength lies in its people, its institutions, and its unwavering resolve to build a just and united nation.
“Any attempt to undermine this sovereignty in the name of “saving democracy” is a betrayal of our national dignity and a setback to our collective progress. Let it be clear: Nigeria’s destiny is in the hands of its resilient people, and we refuse to allow foreign interference to dictate our future.”
