PDP Warns Tinubu Government Over Democracy and 2027 Election Tensions

PDP Warns Tinubu Government Over Democracy and 2027 Election Tensions

The Peoples Democratic Party has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration after a global rights assessment allegedly classified Nigeria as a fully authoritarian regime. In a statement, the PDP said the assessment raised concerns about electoral integrity, protection for dissent, institutional checks and balances, and freedom of expression. The party cited alleged attacks on Catholic clerics and institutions as signs of a shrinking civic space. The opposition party also accused the National Assembly of weak oversight, alleged that security agencies are being used against political opponents, and questioned the neutrality of the electoral commission ahead of 2027. The PDP urged the administration to ease political tensions, allow opposition parties to operate freely, and protect democratic institutions as Nigerians prepare for the next general election.
