The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has criticised the newly elected factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kabiru Turaki, over his recent appeal for foreign intervention in Nigeria’s political situation, describing the comment as unfortunate and unpatriotic.
Eko Hot Blog reports that Turaki had reportedly urged U.S. President Donald Trump and leaders of other advanced democracies to intervene in Nigeria’s internal tensions, following events that unfolded at the PDP national secretariat on Tuesday.

Reacting in a strongly worded statement, PRP National Chairman, Falalu Bello, said Turaki’s remarks betray a deep inferiority complex and a worrying lack of faith in Nigeria’s institutions, independence, and political resilience.
Bello stressed that such calls undermine the sacrifices of those who fought to secure the nation’s sovereignty.
According to him, foreign governments always prioritise their own interests, and inviting them into Nigeria’s domestic affairs exposes the country to manipulation and long-term instability.
He noted that Nigeria’s challenges must be addressed through internal dialogue, responsible political engagement, and strengthened democratic processes—not external interference.
Bello reminded political leaders that the fifth principle of the PRP emphasises complete liberation from imperialism, insisting that Nigeria’s destiny must remain firmly in the hands of Nigerians.
He urged Turaki and the PDP to retract what he called a dangerous and misguided statement.
The PRP also cautioned leaders across political divides to avoid making comments that could threaten national unity or cast doubt on Nigeria’s credibility as a sovereign state.
Bello maintained that the nation needs patriotism, commitment, and homegrown solutions to navigate its political challenges—not appeals to foreign powers.
