Despite
denials by political heavyweights in Nigeria about the formation of a
new political party to oust the APC in the 2019 presidential election,
the party construction has been in top gear.
Ahead of 2019 Presidential election, political intrigues and
realignment are beginning to shape the political scene, with moves by
politicians to form a mega party.
Vanguard gathered weekend that barring any last minute change,
politicians and conveners of the new political party drawn from the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC,
were already fine tuning the name for the new party.
According to a source, the group which would be drawn from all the
six geo- political zones of the country would converge on Abuja, the
nation’s capital, Monday, December 19th, 2016 to conclude on a name for
the new party. It was however gathered that the members have already
come up with a name known as the Action Democratic Party, ADP, just as
the source said that if members agree on the name and structure, all the
documents would then be forwarded to the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC to commence the process of full registration.
Meanwhile, Senators from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the
APC, have not taken any position as they have remained aloof against the
backdrop that anyone spoken to on the matter, were not ready to come up
with any position.
The source said, “The name of the new party is Action
Democratic Party, ADP, we will meet on 19th December in Abuja to look at
the structure and send to INEC the name.
"At the meeting, we will determine who would be the pro tem
Chairman. Everyone will be invited, those expected are from the six geo-
political zones of the country as well as the Senatorial districts.
“Our proposed party will come out from the ashes of PDP and APC.”
