Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarenwaju, has lambasted some sections of the media for jumping to conclusions over the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) registration.

Speaking on his X account on Saturday, he wondered why the press is taking sides in their reports when a group is in the process of pursuing party registration, just like any other Nigerian.

He maintained that ADA has not been adopted by the coalition as widely reported by the press, stressing that the general public will be informed about the appropriate choices and decision reached by the coalition on ADA.

”Nigerian newspapers often contribute to our challenges. A group is in the process of pursuing party registration, just like any other Nigerian, but they need to coordinate this with the coalition.

”ADA has not been adopted by the coalition, and when the time is right, the public will be informed about the appropriate choices and decisions. Just be patient with that.,” he wrote

It would be recalled that the Nigeria National Coalition Group, NNCG, formally applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, seeking the registration of a new political party with the name All Democratic Alliance, ADA.

In a letter signed by Chief Akin A. Rickets, the Protem National Chairman of the association, the Anti-Tinubu coalition urged INEC to endorse the registration of the new party.

“We respectfully write to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, requesting the registration of our association, the All Democratic Alliance, ADA, as a political party.

“This is sequel to the decision taken by the Nigerian National Coalition Group to sponsor our association for full registration., “The name of the party shall be All Democratic Alliance with ADA as our acronym and ‘Justice for All’ as our slogan.

“The National Secretariat of the party is, as stated at the bottom of the association’s letterhead, used in this application.

“We have further attached our manifesto encompassing details of our party ideology, and our constitution providing the legal framework that defines our identity, structures and organization, regulates our affairs and guides our actions in alignment with Section 40 and 222 of the Constitution, Section 75 of the Electoral Act, and global democratic principles and objectives., 2022,” the letter reads.
