The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) unequivocally condemns the reckless and dangerous remarks made by the Factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Tanimu Turaki (SAN), in his recent call for foreign intervention, specifically urging President Donald Trump and other advanced democracies to “come and save Nigeria” from its internal crises.

Such a statement is not only unpatriotic but also exposes an alarming inferiority complex that continues to plague some of our so-called politicians and political leaders. It 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. It is an insult to Nigeria’s sovereignty, independence, and dignity – values that countless patriots have fought to uphold.
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.
The 5th Principle of PRP advocates for total liberation from imperialism, a principle rooted in the dignity and sovereignty of our nation. This principle underscores our belief that true independence is achieved when Nigeria’s destiny is determined by Nigerians themselves, not by foreign governments or their agents.
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.
Long live Nigeria!
Long live the sovereignty and independence of Nigeria!
Signed:
Falalu Bello, OFR,
National Chairman,
Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
