The Peoples Democratic Party warned major government bodies to protect their freedom from political control. Debo Ologunagba spoke for the party during June 12 Democracy Day celebrations. The PDP wants the National Assembly, courts, and election commission to stand strong against pressure. Opposition leaders fear the ruling All Progressives Congress seeks total power over Nigeria. Democratic groups must work together to stop any single party from controlling everything.
The PDP accused the APC of breaking constitutional rules during recent elections. Party officials pointed to problems with the 2024 Edo State governor race and Rivers State leadership changes. These actions threaten the balance of power that democracy requires. The opposition party said the ruling government uses state resources to weaken political rivals. Such behavior goes against the principles that Chief MKO Abiola fought to establish.
Political leaders must respect the separation of powers between different government branches. The PDP demands fair elections and an end to interference with democratic institutions. Opposition groups want policies that help ordinary citizens instead of creating more poverty. International partners should support Nigeria's fight to maintain democratic values. All political parties must commit to following constitutional rules and protecting citizen rights.
