Speaking via a statement, Frank urged the United States President, Donald Trump and the international community to intervene

He warned that failure to intervene could lead to unrest, violent conflict, and a breakdown of law and order.

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.

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

“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 warned.

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

“Any blanket endorsement risks legitimising illegality and oppression in Nigeria,” he stated, 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 the electronic transmission of election results.
