The Nigeria National Coalition Group, NNCG, has formally approached INEC to register its new political party, All Democratic Alliance, ADA.
The coalition group, which has Atiku, Amaechi, and El-Rufai as members, formally applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission today, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to the letter, the party’s slogan would be “Justice for All,” and relevant details like its ideology, constitution, structures and organization, principles and objectives, have all been clearly stated.
Announcing that the party’s flag depicts its name, acronym and slogan, manifesto, constitution and minutes of meeting, NNCG revealed that it awaits direction from INEC on the next step towards achieving its desired goal to transform Nigeria.

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

Members of the anti-Tinubu coalition include: Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; ex-Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi; his Kaduna State counterpart, Nasir El-Rufai; the convener of the League of Northern Democrats, Dr. Umar Ardo, and many more.
The group initially considered joining an existing political party; however, various members expressed concerns over the internal disputes in such parties that might derail NNCG’s cause.
The coalition eventually set up a committee to also consider the option of registering a completely new platform where all members will begin on equal footing as far as membership is concerned.
The committee, headed by former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi. submitted its report a week ago with a recommendation in favour of registering a new party.
