The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) celebrated its 30th anniversary on May 15, 2024. When speaking with Nigerian Tribune,
NADECO Secretary-General Chief Ayo Opadokun discussed the beginnings, as well as the painful and sweet parts, of the coalition-led resistance movement on June 12. The reason why Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was detained by General Sani Abacha, the then-head of state, was also disclosed by Opadokun.
During his speech, he claimed that Senators Ameh Ebute and Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who served in General Ibrahim Babangida’s Senate, worked together to push for the National Assembly’s reopening, which the late Sani Abacha had forbidden.
In his words, “They decided that they were going to push for the reopening of the Senate.”
“On that note, the security agents of Abacha went after them, got some of them arrested, locked them up at a building in Obalende, Lagos, and charged them to court.”
“After the second or third court appearance, they were given bail, and on the basis of that, he left the country. But, abroad, he played prominent, critical roles.”..…….See More
