Uche Jombo, a Nollywood actress, has reacted after acclaimed writer Chimamanda Adichie urged US President Joseph Biden, in an open letter, not to acknowledge the conclusion of the February 25th presidential election due to anomalies, including the president-elect, Bola Tinubu’s drug conviction.
According to news reports, the literary icon contended on Thursday that the presidential election was jeopardized not by technical flaws but by willful manipulation.
Adichie also chastised the US State Department in the open letter for praising the outcome of a fraudulent electoral process, despite its stance on the “global community for democracy” and the need to stand up for “justice and the rule of law.”

She claimed in the letter that the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, had been compromised by the All Progressive Congress (APC) flag bearer, Bola Tinubu, whom the novelist describes as a “drug baron” because he forfeited to the US government $460,000 of his income that a Chicago court determined to be proceeds from heroin trafficking.”
She then advised the US president against being indifferent to Nigeria’s current predicament by endorsing the results of the “undemocratic process.”
Uche Jumbo responded to the message on Thursday night via her Twitter page, praising the popular novelist.
Adichie, according to her, is everything she claims to be.
In her words, “Chimamanda Adichie is exactly who she thinks she is.”
