The Truth Exposed? NADECO Leaders Slam Abdulsalami Over Controversial Claims Of Military Rule Extension!.
Col. Tony Nyiam (retd.) and Chief Ayo Opadokun, both prominent leaders of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), have disputed allegations made by former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.), regarding the events of 1998. In his autobiography, Call of Duty, Abdulsalami alleged that certain NADECO leaders privately requested that he extend his military transition program, and he further asserted that the late MKO Abiola was not poisoned.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Regarding the alleged request for an extension, NADECO leaders offered the following clarifications:
-
Col. Nyiam stated that he is unaware of any recognized NADECO leader—such as Chief Anthony Enahoro or Gen. Alani Akinrinade—who requested a continuation of military rule.
-
Nyiam emphasized that the group’s primary objective was to end military governance, not extend it.
-
Chief Opadokun explained that Abdulsalami likely misinterpreted their discussions; he clarified that NADECO abroad had urged the military leader to facilitate a “people’s constitution” prior to elections and had advocated for a government of national unity led by MKO Abiola.
Furthermore, the NADECO leaders expressed skepticism concerning Abdulsalami’s account of MKO Abiola’s death. Col. Nyiam rejected the claim that Abiola was not poisoned, stating his belief that the late presidential winner was “done away with by those who did not want him to govern”.
