New PDP Chairman's Call to Trump Sparks Controversy in Nigeria
The new Chairman of the factional PDP, Tanimu Turaki, has called on US President Donald Trump to intervene in Nigeria to address the alleged Christian genocide. This move has been strongly condemned by the APC and the Presidency, with accusations of high treason leveled against Turaki.
The situation arose following a press address by Turaki at the PDP secretariat, highlighting the need for foreign intervention to save democracy in Nigeria. APC spokesperson, Felix Morka, labeled Turaki's call as reckless and unpatriotic, while Bola Tinubu accused Turaki of committing high treason.
The incident occurred amidst a prolonged standoff within the PDP.
