Northern Group Warns of Risks to Nigeria's Democracy

The Northern Progress Agenda (NPA), represented by Hon. Idri Ibrahim Kalgo, has raised alarms about the declining state of Nigeria's democratic institutions, emphasizing that this trend poses grave risks to the stability and unity of Northern Nigeria.

The group highlights multiple challenges faced by the region, including insecurity, economic strain, social fragmentation, and a decline in public trust. They stress that democracy remains a critical safeguard against threats to the North and call for a renewed commitment to unity and collaborative action among leaders across the region, regardless of political affiliations.

The NPA urges stakeholders within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to embrace unity and discipline, sharing a vision capable of inspiring public confidence. Furthermore, the group appeals to youth, women, and civil society actors to actively engage in the democratic process, ensuring that their voices shape the future.

The NPA is committed to convening thought leaders and policymakers to develop practical solutions to address insecurity and rebuild trust in the region.
