Video: Tension Erupts in Abuja as PDP Chairman Taminu Turaki Issues Explosive Appeal to Trump and World Powers
In a stunning and unprecedented political outburst, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Taminu Turaki, sent shockwaves across the nation on Tuesday after calling on U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene in Nigeria’s political turmoil—a plea that instantly ignited fierce debate across the country.
The dramatic call came moments after a tense confrontation reportedly broke out between security agencies and members of Governor Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed security detail at the PDP Secretariat. Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene, though official details of the incident remained unclear.
Emerging from the tension-filled atmosphere, Turaki addressed newsmen with visible agitation, delivering what many have called one of the most explosive political statements in recent Nigerian history.
“I want to call on President Trump… what is at stake is not just genocide against Christians,” Turaki declared, raising his voice as cameras rolled.
“He should come and save democracy in Nigeria. Democracy is under threat.”
The chairman did not stop there. In a sweeping appeal to global powers, he urged the world’s most influential nations to intervene urgently.
“I am calling on all developed nations, all advanced democracies—come and save Nigeria,” he continued.
“International communities, you are seeing what is happening. Democracy is under threat. Come and save us.”
The remarks reverberated across political and diplomatic circles, with observers stunned at the intensity of the appeal and the direct call for foreign involvement in Nigeria’s internal affairs.
Analysts say Turaki’s statements signal a deepening sense of alarm within opposition ranks, while critics have already begun questioning the implications of such an extraordinary international plea.
As of press time, neither the federal government nor the security agencies have issued an official response to Turaki’s claims or the reported gunfire incident. The situation remains fluid, and tensions high, as the political landscape watches closely for the next development.
