The All Democratic Alliance (ADA) has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refused to register the party, even though it claims to have fulfilled all the necessary registration conditions.
Umar Ardo, a leading promoter of ADA, made the claim on Tuesday while speaking during an interview on Arise Television.
“The All Democratic Alliance has provided INEC with all the documents they require for registration.
“INEC did not register any of the associations, not one. And incidentally, virtually every Thursday when INEC meets and comes up with a decision, they usually give out a press release, updating Nigerians, but incidentally, in this situation, it was mute, it never made the press release.
“It never posted anything on his website, because it knows that public opinion will be highly against it. Why? Because, out of the 172 that applied with letter of intent, they screened down to 14, and out of the 14, they sold the administrative fee of 2 million naira we paid, and then we went into its dedicated portal for the purpose of applying and we applied.
“Out of the 14, INEC pre-qualified eight and wrote us and said that we are ready for the next stage, which is the last stage for physical verification.
“INEC conducted our office verification, and our office is as well-equipped as any other political party’s office in terms of infrastructure. We ought to have at least 24 states and the FCT by law, but we have 36 states and the FCT represented.
“Now in acknowledging our application, there is a clause where INEC said that if there is any other any need for any information, they will contact us but they did not contact us,” he said.
