An opposition party, Action Alliance (AA), has disclaimed the purported adoption a former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate in the Saturday’s election.
This was contained in a statement by the National Chairman of AA, Dr Adekunle Omo-Aje, and made available, Monday to the media in Kaduna,
The statement insisted that the party, neither had such arrangement nor was it planned to adopt any other person in the place of its presidential candidate.
Recalled that AA, led by the sacked National Chairman, Mr Kenneth Udeze, alongside other four political parties, had, on Saturday, adopted Mr Abubakar as their presidential candidate for the Feb. 25 poll.
Other parties included Allied Peoples Movement (APM), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Action, Peoples Party (APP) and National Rescue Movement (NRM).
But while reacting to the claims, Omo-Aje said: “Our attention has been drawn to a fabrication and fraudulent arrangement, purportedly with some named political parties touching on stepping down for presidential candidate of People Democratic Party Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“We make bold here to say emphatically that our party, Action Alliance, has no such arrangement at all, nor was anything as such ever contemplated among our ranks.
“This is to further reiterate for the umpteenth time that our party, Action Alliance, is never thinking of any kind of collaboration with any political party or any candidate whatsoever.”
According to him, the party had warned the general public of the activities of some political scavengers assembled by the rascally and recalcitrant usurper, who has been adjudged as a “meddlesome interloper” by a High Court of the land.
“Kenneth Obideche Udeze is a parasite that feeds on the blood of docile and gullible politician he is a merchant of Venice.
“As a political party of repute, Action Alliance has hosted a series of World Press Conferences to alert the general public that, Kenneth Obideche Udeze is not even a member of our party Action Alliance, let alone having any locus standi to speak or act for, or on behalf of the party anywhere, anytime.
“This, we did, to safe would-be victims of this fraudulent political venture from getting defrauded. If anyone thereafter gets entangled in his antics and scam expertise, our party, Action Alliance will be absolved of any associated guilt.
“Our party, Action Alliance, has a presidential candidate that is neither being withdrawn nor dropped. So, it is appalling to think that some politicians scouts without circumspect could still get scammed by this certified interloper, as if they were charmed to blind folds.
“For a sense of duty, but not of responsibility, we are saying here again that the general public should flee from this recalcitrant political scammer called Kenneth Udeze.
“To buttress our points here, we provide extracts from judgments of the Federal High Court and Court of Appeal robbing him in his apparent odyssey as a usurper, an interloper, and a meddlesome busybody,” he said.
Omo-Aje noted that in the declaratory judgment of Justice Zainab Abubakar of FHC 2 Abuja, INEC was ordered to avail themselves of the pin code to upload their candidates, and the pin code to be used for uploading their party agents.
According to him, the party had warned the general public of the activities of some political scavengers assembled by the rascally and recalcitrant usurper, who has been adjudged as a “meddlesome interloper” by a High Court of the land.
