Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and political activist, Comrade Timi Frank, has petitioned United States President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

He raised an alarm that Nigeria\u2019s democracy is under existential threat and could descend into chaos if alleged plans to manipulate the 2027 general elections are not halted.<\/p>\n

In a statement at the weekend, Frank accused the ruling party and the leadership of the National Assembly of plotting to entrench a one-party authoritarian state in what he described as \u201cpolitical genocide\u201d against Nigerians.<\/p>\n

He called on Trump and the international community to intervene, warning that failure to act could trigger unrest, violent conflict, and a breakdown of law and order.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria\u2019s general elections scheduled for February 2027 are under serious threat. If current developments are not addressed, they may result in widespread unrest, possible anarchy, and a breakdown of law and order,\u201d Frank warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ruling party, working closely with the Nigerian Senate under a highly compromised Senate President, has begun laying the groundwork to manipulate and rig the 2027 general elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank urged Trump and U.S. lawmakers to exercise caution in engaging the Nigerian government and avoid legitimizing what he described as illegality and oppression.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny blanket endorsement risks legitimizing illegality and oppression in Nigeria,\u201d he warned, adding that U.S. intervention could help preserve stability in West Africa\u2019s largest democracy.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Nigerian Senate last week passed the electoral amendment, which had stirred controversy over electronic transmission of election results.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has insisted that the National Assembly will not be intimidated by dissents.<\/p>\n
