ADP Is Not Part Of Our Coalition, Says CUPP

In reaction to the threat by the Action Democratic Party (ADP) to take
legal action against the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP),
which claimed that ADP was among the 40 political parties that endorsed
the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the coalition has said that the ADP
threat was just an attention seeking ploy because the party is not part
of the CUPP.

The threat which was issued earlier by the party’s
National Chairman and Presidential Candidate Mr. Yusuf Sani at the
party’s national secretariat in Abuja, had alerted the public to the
fact stated that ADP was never party to any coalition designed to take
the country back to Egypt and warned that it would seek redress in court
for the wrong notion that it was part of the CUPP .

According
to Sani, “ADP cannot be a member of a coalition designed to railroad
Nigerians back to the locust years or any attempt to continue with the
status quo which Nigerians have emphatically rejected. Categorically
clear that at no time was the ADP part of the CUPP much less endorse a
consensus presidential candidate. If the CUPP does not retract the
claim, the ADP would take legal action.”

Reacting to the ADP
threat, the National Spokesperson of the CUPP, Ikenga Ugochinyere
explained that ADP was just seeking attention.

“ADP was never
part of CUPP. They are not part of our coalition and can’t get our
attention if that is what their chairman is seeking . They are battling
for identity in the political field,” Ugochinyere said.
