CHRICED Warns of Democracy Threats in Nigeria Amid Political Defections

The Executive Director of CHRICED, Ibrahim M. Zikirullahi, expressed concerns about the impact of political defections on Nigeria's democracy, highlighting historical precedents in other nations like Russia and Kenya.

Notable defections, including those of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and others, have raised alarms about the erosion of democratic principles. Zikirullahi emphasized the need for accountability and the preservation of a multi-party democratic system to prevent further deterioration.

The warning comes amidst fears of increased poverty, insecurity, and social collapse. The call is for civil society, media, judiciary, and opposition parties to resist the trend towards one-party dominance.
