According to Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum, the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the PDP is ready to save Nigeria’s democracy, which he said is in danger at the moment.
During his Friday speech in Bauchi, Damagum voiced his concern over what he deemed as intentional efforts to weaken the democratic institutions of the country.
Just before the general elections of 2027, he gave his word that the PDP would be ready to bring stability and defend the people’s will.

Issues such as economic hardship, insecurity, and bad governance are threatening Nigeria’s democracy. “Political intervention is urgently needed in this country,” he stated.
He emphasised that the PDP’s continued dedication to restoring faith in democratic institutions and protecting citizens’ rights is a hallmark of their role as the country’s preeminent opposition party.
The party’s National Convention is going off without a hitch, according to Damagum, who went on to say that the gathering will be a watershed moment for the PDP and the country’s political trajectory.
He urged his fellow countrymen to stand with the PDP in their fight against what he described as “misgovernance” and outlined the party’s plans to restore economic growth, increase social services, and hold those in power accountable.
When ordinary people speak out to protect their democracy, it flourishes. To further secure and fortify our democratic system, the PDP would keep reaching out to people at all levels, he said.
