In an official statement signed by spokesperson Douglas John, the Democracy for Africa Group (DAG) emphasized that the current turmoil within the National Assembly transcends mere political maneuvering. John asserted that the dissemination of falsehoods and misinformation is part of a broader strategy to undermine the nation’s democracy. He warned that such tactics are designed to manipulate public perception and sow discord among the populace.
The group further cautioned foreign powers to refrain from interfering in Nigeria’s democratic affairs, asserting that certain influential figures have been financially incentivized to tarnish the reputation of the current leadership within the National Assembly. This external meddling, they argue, threatens to destabilize not only the legislative branch but the entire governance structure of Nigeria.
