Fani-Kayode Critiques Obi's Comments on NADECO

Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister, publicly criticized Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate, for his comments regarding the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO). Fani-Kayode accused Obi of attempting to undermine NADECO's significant role in Nigeria's pro-democracy struggle during the military dictatorship, particularly under the late General Sani Abacha.

He expressed pain at seeing former NADECO figures, including Dele Momodu and Rauf Aregbesola, aligning with individuals who challenge the legacy of the pro-democracy movement. Fani-Kayode's remarks were made in a post on his social media account, where he emphasized the importance of NADECO's contributions to resisting military rule and highlighted the historical context of Nigeria's democracy.

He also referenced the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which was won by the late businessman MKO Abiola, and criticized the role of David Mark, the chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in the events surrounding that election.
