In a startling revelation, the Nigeria Pro Democracy Group has issued a grave warning to the 10th Senate, led by Godswill Akpabio, regarding alleged plots aimed at destabilizing the legislative body. The group claims that the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti), the infamous former Soviet security agency, has infiltrated the National Assembly, posing a significant threat to Nigeria’s democratic processes.
In an official statement signed by spokesperson Douglas John, the Democracy for Africa Group (DAG) emphasized that the current turmoil within the National Assembly transcends mere political maneuvering. John asserted that the dissemination of falsehoods and misinformation is part of a broader strategy to undermine the nation’s democracy. He warned that such tactics are designed to manipulate public perception and sow discord among the populace.
The group further cautioned foreign powers to refrain from interfering in Nigeria’s democratic affairs, asserting that certain influential figures have been financially incentivized to tarnish the reputation of the current leadership within the National Assembly. This external meddling, they argue, threatens to destabilize not only the legislative branch but the entire governance structure of Nigeria.
In light of these developments, DAG has called upon security agencies to remain vigilant. John highlighted the potential for these destabilizing actions to extend beyond the National Assembly, warning of possible repercussions within the Executive and Judiciary branches. He urged that this is not a time for complacency or uprising, but rather a critical moment for unity and resilience in the face of external threats to Nigeria’s democracy.
The Nigeria Pro Democracy Group’s alarming assertions serve as a reminder of the fragile nature of democratic institutions and the importance of safeguarding them against both internal and external forces. As the 10th Senate navigates these challenges, the call for vigilance and integrity remains paramount in preserving the democratic ideals that underpin the nation’s governance.
