A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and political activist, Comrade Timi Frank, has petitioned United States President Donald Trump.

He raised an alarm that Nigeria’s democracy is under existential threat and could descend into chaos if alleged plans to manipulate the 2027 general elections are not halted.

In a statement at the weekend, Frank accused the ruling party and the leadership of the National Assembly of plotting to entrench a one-party authoritarian state in what he described as “political genocide” against Nigerians.

He called on Trump and the international community to intervene, warning that failure to act could trigger unrest, violent conflict, and a breakdown of law and order.

“Nigeria’s general elections scheduled for February 2027 are under serious threat. If current developments are not addressed, they may result in widespread unrest, possible anarchy, and a breakdown of law and order,” Frank warned.

“The ruling party, working closely with the Nigerian Senate under a highly compromised Senate President, has begun laying the groundwork to manipulate and rig the 2027 general elections.”

Frank urged Trump and U.S. lawmakers to exercise caution in engaging the Nigerian government and avoid legitimizing what he described as illegality and oppression.

“Any blanket endorsement risks legitimizing illegality and oppression in Nigeria,” he warned, adding that U.S. intervention could help preserve stability in West Africa’s largest democracy.

Recall that the Nigerian Senate last week passed the electoral amendment, which had stirred controversy over electronic transmission of election results.

Meanwhile, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has insisted that the National Assembly will not be intimidated by dissents.
