The National Democratic Coalition, United States Chapter (NADECO USA) has recently announced that they have expelled Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, due to the alleged electoral fraud surrounding his election. This decision is a major statement from this organization and highlights the importance of fair elections. Let’s take a look at what led to this decision and why it matters.
Why Was Tinubu Expelled?
The National Democratic Coalition, United States Chapter (NADECO USA) decided to expel Tinubu due to their belief that he emerged through a fraudulent electoral process. The organization stated that it “would not tolerate electoral fraud just because Tinubu, candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), was a founding member of NADECO and a stalwart of NADECO USA”. They have called on the international community to support the empaneling of an internationally recognized team of technical experts to interrogate the INEC servers and other sources in order to extract the original votes.
This decision by NADECO is an important statement regarding the importance of fair elections, even when those involved are close friends or colleagues. It also shows that NADECO will not hesitate in taking action when they believe electoral fraud is occurring, regardless of who might be involved in it. It serves as an example for other organizations and countries around the world who are committed to ensuring free and fair elections for all citizens.
The expulsion of Asiwaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu from NADECO USA serves as an important reminder that free and fair elections are crucial for democracies around the world. NADECO’s willingness to take action against potential electoral fraud is commendable and should serve as an example for others who are dedicated to upholding democratic values. It is our hope that this decision will lead other organizations and governments alike to take similar steps towards ensuring free and fair elections for all citizens in their countries.
