The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the call by Tanimu Turaki, the new factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for foreign powers to intervene in Nigeria's internal affairs. In a statement issued today by Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary, the party described Turaki's appeal as "reckless and unpatriotic", saying it poses a "dangerous threat to national security and sovereignty".
The statement noted that Turaki, who was declared factional PDP chairman barely 72 hours ago, appeared "desperate, confused, incoherent, and lacking in stamina and capacity to manage his party's crisis" during his press address on the PDP's internal turmoil. Instead of seeking peace and reconciliation among the party's warring factions, Turaki "shamelessly" called for foreign invasion, alleging "Christian genocide" and threats to democracy in Nigeria.
The APC recalled that during the PDP's 16 years in power, the party never resorted to calling for foreign intervention to resolve internal or opposition party crises. The statement interpreted Turaki's call as an admission of the PDP's incapacity to manage its internal issues and a sign of the party's demise. The APC expressed trust that the international community would dismiss the call as a "pitiful distraction" from the PDP's failed internal democracy and disintegration.
The statement further warned that Turaki's action shows the desperation of opposition leaders, who are willing to invite foreign intervention to serve their political agenda. The APC urged Nigerians to stand firm in support of the ruling party and President Bola Tinubu's leadership as the country pursues progress and prosperity.

APC TO PDP - YOUR CALL FOR FOREIGN INVASION OF NIGERIA IS RECKLESS AND UNPATRIOTIC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) strongly condemns the call for foreign invasion of Nigeria by the new factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Tanimu Turaki. While addressing the press today over the crisis ravaging his party, Turaki called on foreign powers to intervene in Nigeria to save the country from alleged "Christian genocide" and to protect democracy. Turaki's call for foreign invasion of Nigeria is reckless and unpatriotic.
For a man declared National Chairman barely 72 hours ago by a faction of his deeply fractured party, Turaki looked and sounded desperate, at his wit's end, confused, incoherent, and grossly lacking in stamina and capacity to manage his party's crisis.
Nigerians expected that Turaki would set himself on an urgent peace-building mission to bring his party's warring factions together in dialogue towards finding possible pathways to peace and reconciliation. Instead, Turaki's first official act as factional chairman was his call for foreign invasion of Nigeria as a solution to the self-inflicted internal crisis of his PDP. That is as shameless as it is a dangerous threat to national security and sovereignty.
Under the PDP's 16 years in power, with its ruthless subversion of opposition parties, there was never a call for foreign invasion of Nigeria as a solution to crisis within opposition parties of that era. Turaki's call is not only an admission of the party's incapacity to manage its internal contradictions, it must be taken as a final certification of the PDP's demise.
We trust the international community to dismiss the PDP's disgraceful and unpatriotic call as a pitiful distraction from the failure of its internal democracy and embarrassing disintegration. The heightened desperation of the PDP and other opposition leaders is now clear for all to see. Turaki's call shows how far they are willing to go, even to the extent of actively seeking destructive intervention of foreign powers on Nigerian soil in order to serve their sinister political agenda.
We urge Nigerians to stand firm in support of our great Party, and the visionary leadership of President Bola Tinubu as we continue the arduous task of building progress and prosperity in all areas of our national life.
Signed:
Felix Morka, CON
National Publicity Secretary
All Progressives Congress (APC)
