Adebayo Accuses Tinubu of Turning ‘Option A4’ Into ‘Option A-Fraud’
The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo, has accused President Bola Tinubu of allegedly manipulating Nigeria’s democratic process and converting the country’s once-celebrated electoral culture into what he described as “Option A-Fraud.”
Adebayo made the allegation while speaking on the state of Nigeria’s democracy and the ongoing political transition process, warning that the nation was drifting towards authoritarian rule disguised as civilian governance.
Referencing the famous ‘Option A4’ voting system introduced during Nigeria’s Third Republic, the SDP chieftain lamented that a transparent electoral model designed to reflect the true will of the people was now allegedly being distorted for political advantage.
According to him, the original concept behind Option A4 was simple and credible because voters openly queued behind candidates while votes were counted transparently at polling units.
