Wike’s Destruction Of Democracy In Nigeria” Now Under Examination– Dan Bello Claims
Prominent northern activist and good governance advocate, Bello Galadanci, popularly known as Dan Bello, has claimed that the United States Senate, House of Representatives, and the European Union are currently examining reports on what he described as “Wike’s destruction of democracy in Nigeria.”
In a video posted on his X handle on Thursday, Dan Bello said his concern was not borne out of partisanship but a duty to defend Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
According to him, Nigeria is at a critical juncture where “the choices of a few powerful men may determine the fate of 250 million people,” with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, at the centre of the controversy.
“This is not about personality; it’s about a pattern, about power, about the systematic erosion of democratic norms.
“If left unchecked, this process could drag Nigeria into the same darkness engulfing parts of the Sahel,” he said.
Citing a document allegedly submitted to the US Senate, Dan Bello claimed that Wike has become one of the most powerful unelected figures in Nigeria’s political landscape, using state resources, the judiciary, and security agencies “not to strengthen democracy but to stifle dissent and weaken the opposition.”
He further accused Wike of fracturing opposition parties, including the PDP, Labour Party, and ADC, manipulating party structures, weaponizing the police, and exerting undue influence on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
“This is not politics. This is the suffocation of multi-party democracy. Nowhere is this clearer than in Rivers State,” he stated.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
