The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) has sent a ‘Save our Souls’ letter to the United Nations, requesting help from the international body to prevent the country from deteriorating.
The letter which was signed by the Coalition’s General Secretary/Spokesman, Ayo Opadokun, the letter was a reference to the one earlier addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari titled: ‘Re-Open Letter to President Muhammadu Buhari about the Unacceptable Deterioration of National Security and Political Stability Under Your Watch’.
NADECO, in the letter, lamented that the deplorable situation of the country was caused by the 1999 constitution.
It stated further that “all ethnic nationalities, as contained in the attached open letter to President Buhari, could no longer accept to be treated as slaves and inferior citizens in this British contrived political space.”
“We, the National Democratic Coalition, on behalf of Nigeria write to formally request you to use your good offices to take immediate and concrete steps to halt the fast deterioration of national security and political stability in Nigeria.

“Nigeria’s current situation is so deplorable because of the imposed centralist and unitary 1999 Constitution, which was manufactured by a military clique and imposed upon us. Ethnic nationalities who were the building blocks upon which the British colonialist constructed Nigeria had clamored, appealed, and cautioned the sectional military wing ruling Nigeria (foisting former Presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan) as surrogates, for Nigeria to return to a federal constitution upon which Nigeria secured its independence in 1960 but their interventions had always been met with disdain and provocative responses. Nigerians have never accepted the suspension, and abrogation of the negotiated Independence Constitution,” the letter read.
