Group slams Mbeki for greeting Yar'Adua
Nigerians United for Democracy (NUD) has slammed South African President,Thabo Mbeki, for congratulating the President-elect, Alhaji Umaru Yar'Adua, saying Mbeki's action had helped to deepen the agony of Nigerians over alleged malpractices.
In a statement issued by the Chairman of its Publicity Committee, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the group also criticised Ghana's President and current African Union Chairman, John Kufuor, for commending President Olusegun Obasanjo for organising "peaceful" elections in Nigeria.
It wondered why Mbeki chose to ignore the widely-publicised report of local and international observers that the elections that produced Yar'Adua were allegedly rigged.
"By his hasty congratulatory message, Mbeki has aligned with those who willfully thwarted the sovereign will of the Nigerians by stealing their votes, just like he has aligned with the oppressors of the Zimbabweans in South Africa," the group said.
