“NADECO and Tinubu fought Gen Sani Abacha as the military dictator who scuttled the will of the Nigerian people in 1993 June 12 elections. Ironically, exactly 30 years later, in 2023, NADECO is fighting the same species of dictatorship but only this time a much more dangerous civilian dictatorship – a kleptocracy- mostly perpetuated by one of those who fought Abacha then.
NADECO will not look the other way simply because the fraud was perpetrated by one of its founding members. NADECO hereby, as a first step, formally severs its relationship with Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a former founding member of NADECO (USA) for his participation in the worst electoral fraud in Nigeria’s recent history.
“NADECO maintains that the 2023 presidential election is an attempt to disenfranchise the Nigerian people through the four horsemen of democracy’s doom – Bribery, voter intimidation, insecurity, and vote rigging, all harnessed to skew the results of the 2023 presidential election. INEC’s action clearly constitutes negligence per se and electoral fraud, as it violated the very statutory provisions and guidelines that are designed to protect against the type of fraud caused by its failure to transmit the results in real time. The people of Nigeria are supposed to be the ones the statute is designed to protect, instead, they have found themselves at the receiving end of the resulting gross injustice.”
