The group said its membership cuts across political parties, regions and ideological differences, stressing that it was neither an opposition platform nor an instrument of any political interest.
A bipartisan group of members of the House of Representatives under the platform of the Save Democracy Group has raised concerns over what it described as the declining state of Nigeria’s democracy, alleging repeated constitutional violations, chronic budget under-implementation, opaque public expenditure, economic hardship and worsening insecurity.
The group, in a statement dated August 5, 2026, titled “NIGERIA’S DEMOCRACY IS NOSEDIVING,” said it was a bipartisan platform of members of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly committed to defending democracy, constitutional governance, legislative independence, accountability and the rule of law.
The group said its membership cuts across political parties, regions and ideological differences, stressing that it was neither an opposition platform nor an instrument of any political interest.
“We are neither an opposition platform nor an instrument of any political interest. We are legislators increasingly alarmed by the direction of Nigeria's democracy and the growing tendency of public institutions to subordinate the Constitution, due process and the welfare of citizens to political convenience.”
