The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, has alleged that a cabal in the presidency is planning to overthrow the democratic rights of Nigerians.
Damagum made the allegation at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Thursday.
He claimed that the cabal was planning to trample on the will of the people and favour the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP chieftain said there is an ongoing design by APC to “cripple democracy, overthrow the democratic rights of Nigerians, suppress the rule of law and downgrade our nation to a fiefdom run by the whims of a cabal.”
Damagum said it has become pertinent to alert Nigerians that the country is “fast sliding into totalitarianism following the activities of a cabal in the Presidency, which is out to emasculate institutions of democracy, especially the judiciary, in the desperation to subvert and overturn the expressed will of Nigerians in the various election matters across the country.”
Damagum allegation is coming after PDP spokesman, Debo Ologunagba alleged that the cabal in the Presidency is trying to slide Nigeria into anarchy and totalitarianism.
Ologunagba claimed that the cabal in the Presidency was trying to use the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the judiciary to throw Nigeria into anarchy.
