Idris made the claim while speaking in a video broadcast aired by News Central TV, where he accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of contributing to internal crises within opposition parties.
He specifically alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have faced persistent instability due to external interference, warning that such developments could weaken Nigeria’s multiparty democracy.
According to Idris, the situation, if unchecked, could mirror a system similar to North Korea, where multiple political parties exist but only one dominates electoral outcomes.
He stated that although he is not a member of any political party, the recurring pattern of crises across opposition groups raises concerns about the fairness of the political environment.
Idris also cautioned that failure to ensure credible and peaceful democratic processes could lead to wider unrest, stressing that such an outcome would not be in the country’s interest.
He called on the APC to allow free and fair elections, emphasizing that transparency and political inclusiveness are essential to sustaining democracy.
The activist further dismissed suggestions that opposition figures such as Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso should defect to other parties, arguing that such moves would not resolve the underlying issues affecting the opposition.
He maintained that addressing alleged interference in party affairs remains key to preserving Nigeria’s democratic system ahead of the 2027 elections.
