The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), Nigeria’s premier and foremost pro-democracy group headquartered in Washington D.C., has made a fervent plea for Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step down as Nigeria’s President.
NADECO cited concerns over Tinubu’s lingering legal battles in Nigeria and the U.S. on the authenticity of his educational degree.
Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar who contested Nigeria’s last presidential election with Tinubu in February have been in court for months to invalidate Tinubu’s election.
Atiku escalated the case to the U.S., requesting a release of Tinubu’s purported Chicago State University records in a last-ditch effort to prove the Nigerian President presented forged certificates in his election bid.
NADECO implored Tinubu to do the “needful” by resigning “to liberate himself and the over 200 million Nigerians from the impending implosion” of the aftermath of the “unwavering pursuit of his questionable presidency.”
“If Mr Tinubu chooses to resign, perhaps Nigerians will find it in their hearts to forgive, and the secrecy legacy he leaves behind at CSU may no longer bear the stain of his political pursuits,” the group said in a statement.
