The National Opposition Coalition Group, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has formally applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the registration of a new political partyโthe All Democratic Alliance.
The application, dated June 19, was acknowledged by INEC on Friday, signalling the coalitionโs determination to float a new platform instead of aligning with any existing political party.
The formation of ADA, backed by some other key political heavyweights, including former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi and Umar Ardo, convener of the League of Northern Democrats and former aide to President Olusegun Obasanjo, seeks to capitalise on mounting public dissatisfaction and political realignments to stop President Bola Tinubu at the next poll.
The application comes just a few days after INEC warned political groups that no amount of pressure or public sentiment would override the need for strict compliance with constitutional and electoral guidelines.
The commission reiterated that party registration remains a rigorous constitutional processโnot merely a political declaration.
With Thursdayโs application, the national opposition coalition has now put an end to weeks of speculation about whether it would revive a dormant political platform or launch a fresh one altogether.
A copy of the application letter, obtained by our correspondent in Abuja, was jointly signed by the associationโs Protem National Chairman, Chief Akin A. Rickets, and Protem National Secretary, Abdullahi Elayo.
The letter partly read, โWe respectfully write to the Independent National Electoral Commission, requesting the registration of our association, the All Democratic Alliance, as a political party.
โThis is a sequel to the decision taken by the Nigerian National Coalition Group to sponsor our association for full registration.
โThe name of the party shall be All Democratic Alliance with ADA as our acronym and โJustice for Allโ as our slogan.โ
The coalition also submitted relevant documents, including the partyโs constitution, manifesto, logo, and minutes of its foundational meetings.
The partyโs symbol prominently features a maize (corn), which the applicants say represents abundance, resilience, and sustenanceโcore ideals they hope to promote.
โWe have further attached our manifesto encompassing details of our party ideology and our constitution providing the legal framework that defines our identity, structures, and organisation,โ the letter continued.
