Abuja, Nigeria – Omo, big political gist don land! Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar don team up with Nasir El-Rufai, wey be ex-governor of Kaduna State, to form new political party wey dem call All Democratic Alliance (ADA). This coalition no wan do small play; dem don apply to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for registration as new political party.
The application, wey make land on June 19, don receive official acknowledgment from INEC on June 20. This one fit mean say dem dey serious to face President Bola Tinubu as dem prepare for 2027 elections. Na real political party war! (Make we chop popcorn as dis drama dey unfold!)
ADA never dey lone o; e don get support from heavyweights like former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, and Umar Ardo, wey be league convener of the Northern Democrats. Dem hope say this new party go salvage democracy for Nigeria. Dem dey use maize (corn) as their symbol, wey represent abundance and sustainance. Who no like corn for party logo? (Na true maize we go chop to sweeten our politics!)
We fit remember say just days before the application land, INEC don shout warning say no amount of public sentiment fit change the need for correct constitutional guidelines. E mean say dem mean business as dem don confirm say dem go check every paper wey enter their office. This one go fit stop all those wahala wey dey follow party registrations.
Dem write inside their letter say, “We dey respectfully write to INEC to register our association for full registration as All Democratic Alliance.” E no be small matter o! Imagine the kind meetings wey go dey happen as dem gather to form dis coalition. We dey expect more palava from the political space.
As dem dey enter this new chapter, Atiku get padi for media, Paul Ibe, wey come dey act like e no sabi wetin dey happen. Ibe don show say e dey catch cruise as he ask if the document really dey real. “I no sabi. una don check if e be true?” Na wah! (Na political headache be this for him!)
For the end of the day, these political leaders don show say dem dey ready to challenge each other and we go dey keep our eyes open to see who go emerge as the ultimate boss for this game. Who go carry go home for 2027? Time go tell, but as way na, make we sit down and see how di story go unfold.
