Insecurity: NADECO Writes UN, Begs To Save Nigeria From Collapse
LAGOS JUNE 21ST (NESRANGERS)-The National Democratic Coalition(NADECO) has written to the United Nations(UN) calling for an intervention into Nigeria’s current situation, adding that the country is on the brink of collapse.
The group called on the UN to prevent a total breakdown of order in the country via a letter made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Sunday signed by its spokesman, Ayo Opadokun. The letter was addressed to the Secretary-General, United Nations Organisation (UN), Mr. António Guterres,
The letter read; “We, the National Democratic Coalition, on behalf of Nigeria write to formally request you to use your good offices to take immediate and concrete steps to halt the fast deterioration of national security and political stability in Nigeria.”
The group stated that the 1999 constitution was developed by a clique of military soldiers and forced on Nigerians.
“Nigeria’s current situation is so deplorable because of the imposed centralist and unitary 1999 Constitution, which was manufactured by a military clique and imposed upon us.”
“Ethnic nationalities who were the building blocks upon which the British colonialist constructed Nigeria had clamoured, appealed and cautioned the sectional military wing ruling Nigeria (foisting former Presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan) as surrogates, for Nigeria to return to a federal constitution upon which Nigeria secured its independence in 1960 but their interventions had always been met with disdain and provocative responses.”
“Nigerians have never accepted the suspension, and abrogation of the negotiated Independence Constitution.”
The group had earlier written a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari accusing him of having a ‘Fulanisation’ agenda. The letter dated June 15, 2021, the group argued that the growing secessionist tendencies in the country were fuelled by what it called the obvious policy of ‘Fulanisation’ and the president’s refusal to discontinue the operation of the 1999 Constitution as altered.
“The foregoing narrative explains why the owners of Nigeria were not given the opportunity to participate in constitution-making whilst the Tables of Rights of the component parts of the country show the reasons why you, Mr. President, and your preferred citizens, will forever not allow Nigeria to go back to what was agreed and formed part of the independence constitution; making one Nigeria the biggest fraud ever.” the statement read in part.
