NADECO To Defected APC Govs: Return The Mandate You Stole From The Electorate

Jonathan-G5-governorsThe National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, has condemned the actions of the five Peoples Democratic Party governors, who defected to the All Progressives Congress, saying their action was overheating the polity.

It called on Nigerians to “sanction these men by disgracing them at the poll by handing them the red card of defeat”.

NADECO said, “It is on this note that we renew the call on Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers State), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Magatakarda Wamakko (Sokoto) to do the needful by returning the mandate they stole from the electorate”.

The National President of NADECO, Philip Agbese, who was speaking with journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, said the defected governors had placed themselves, not just above the extant laws of their own states, but also above the constitution and the pronouncements of law courts.

Mr. Agbese said NADECO was against the governors for allegedly destabilising the polity.

He said, “These men embarked on the illegality on securing mandates from one political party and delivering the same party to another political party without recourse to the majority of the electorates in their states who braved the odds and the elements to vote them into power”.

  1. NADECO, CD and the likes, what are they still looking for? Democracy is here to stay in Nigeria. They should get a life, be creative and look for something else to do. We are in 2014 not 1994 when they were really relevant.
