Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has come out to react to the newly formed, yet-to-be-registered Political Party, All Democratic Alliance (ADA), saying, “there is nothing like a ‘coalition’ here”.
Keyamo said, ADA is simply trying to create what the All Progressives Congress (APC) did in 2013, tagging the ‘Maize’ Party “a complete mockery of that seismic political coalition that birthed APC in 2013”.
The Minister labelled ADA “nothing but a pedestrian joke”, saying, this is just few individuals who are simply exercising their constitutional right to form a Political Party.
The All Democratic Alliance (ADA) which has its slogan as ‘Justice For All’ has submitted its ‘Application For Registration As A Political Party’ and waiting for response from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In his reaction to the formation of the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) Keyamo said: “This is just a simple application for party registration. There is nothing like a ‘coalition’ here. It is an unnecessary hype the promoters have been struggling to create all along; it is just a psychological warfare on Nigerians – a weak attempt at mass appeal.
“No recognised existing political party or parties are part of this. If they are thinking of recreating what the APC did in 2013, then this is nothing but a pedestrian joke; a complete mockery of that seismic political coalition that birthed APC in 2013.
“A few individuals exercising their constitutional right to form a new political party cannot be described as a ‘coalition’ or even a ‘merger’. This is not different from several political associations springing up everyday for the same purpose.
“After all the razzmatazz, it boils down to the fact that a new political party is just attempting registration by a few Nigerians; it is a disappointing anti-climax to all the preceding pomp and pageantry.”
