Tinubu: Disregard Adichie’s letter – NADECO tells US President, Biden
The National Democratic Coalition Renewal Group (NADECO) has called on the president of the United States, US, Joe Biden to ignore the letter written to him by the famous Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Adichie, saying it’s childish.
The Coordinator of the NADECO Renewal, Prof. Prof. Atilade Adeeyo in a statement titled “Ignore Adichie’s childish, seditious, illogical ranting, NADECO Renewal tells Biden,” implored the US president to disregard the letter, saying its content was “childish, seditious and illogical.”
The statement described Adichie’s letter as “illogical reasoning regarding the ensuing political development in Nigeria and ignorance of the electoral umpire’s operations.”
The statement reads in part: “With that ill-conceived letter of hers to US President Biden, she has exposed her true colour – that of an ethnically-biased Nigerian hiding under the guise of a writer to pretentiously preach patriotism, but who is capable of unreasonably and ignorantly approaching issues of national interest from a myopic prism of ethnicity.
“We can only advise the ever-busy President of the US to ignore Adichie and her ethnically-influenced and biased letter because it is written out of a shallow understanding of the electoral laws that guide the electoral process.
“We like to engage Adichie on a few of some of her gaffes. This lady of letters, so to say, goofed pathetically when she described the February 25 presidential poll as illegitimate because it is only a competent court of law that has the legal grounds to decide and pronounce the legitimacy or otherwise of the poll.”
The Informant247 recalls that Chimamanda had on Thursday April 6 argued that the 2023 elections were intentionally manipulated by some political actors in the country.
She condemned the manner the US Department and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak celebrated the outcome of the election whose process was faulty, despite its stance on “global community for democracy, and the need to stand up for “justice and the rule of law.
She said the election was characterised by massive irregularities, violence and ballot snatching, affirming that she has evidence to prove her claims.
She explained that she wrote the letter to the US president to expose the “two-facedness of the US government” in regards to African politics.
She said the US always call out African countries for not being democratic and the same US is endorsing the undemocratic process in Nigeria.
