ABUJA — Former Senate President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has warned that Nigeria’s democracy is ‘currently in the ICU’.
According to him, urgent action is needed to strengthen democratic institutions and guarantee credible elections ahead of the 2027 general polls.
Wabara and former Action Congress (AC) vice-presidential candidate Senator Ben Obi are in the United States holding high-level consultations with Nigerians in the diaspora to rally support for what they describe as a coordinated effort to protect Nigeria’s democracy and ensure the 2027 elections reflect the will of the people.
Speaking by telephone from the United States, Wabara said the consultations had brought together Nigerians across party lines to discuss how best to safeguard the country’s democracy, with Ben Obi joining the effort to forge what he described as a common strategy ahead of the 2027 elections.
