Why Bola Tinubu Isn’t Listed Among NADECO Activists
In this post, I highlight the official members of NADECO, the coalition of pro-democracy activists who opposed military rule in the 1990s. Notice that Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s name is missing. He wasn’t part of the movement. While many risked arrest and worse under General Abacha, he remained close to the regime. Here is the full list of NADECO members: Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin, Mallam Lawal Dambazzau, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Chief Anthony Enahoro, Major General Adeyinka Adebayo (retd.), Chief Bola Ige, Commodore Dan Suleiman, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Professor Anya O.
