The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) has called on Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign in order to protect both himself and the well-being of over 200 million Nigerians amidst the ongoing certificate controversy he faces in the United States.
The appeal was contained in an official statement signed by the Executive Director of NADECO USA, Lloyd F. Ukwu.
It is worth noting that Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2023 general election, has initiated legal proceedings against Chicago State University, where Tinubu claimed to have graduated from, citing alleged evidence of a forged certificate.
In an effort to address the embarrassment caused by the controversy, as well as the significant economic setbacks experienced by Nigerians during his controversial leadership, which have tarnished the country’s international reputation, NADECO has urged Tinubu to voluntarily relinquish his position.

According to the statement, “Nigeria is in the throes of a deep international image, domestic and regional crisis, bleeding profusely on both national and international stages. It s a nation held in disdain presently at the international stage; its economy in shambles, and its people hungry for change. Presently, a dollar is a stone throw from a thousand naira. Even institutions like Chicago State University find the themselves on the precipice of disrepute, teetering on the brink of losing international credibility and accreditation, all due to the wake of destruction left by Tinubu’s unwavering pursuit of his questionable presidency.
“This perilous journey, fueled by one man’s relentless ambition has led to the heartbreaking ignorance of the collective suffering of Nigerians by Tinubu and the APC.
“In a plea to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of Tinubu’s questionable ambitions, NADECO USA implores Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu to liberate himself and the over 200 million Nigerians from the impending implosion. If Mr. chooses to resign, perhaps Nigerians will find it in their hearts to forgive, and the secrecy legacy he leaves behind at CSU may no longer bear the stain of his political pursuits. He should be advised to do the needful.”
