The All Democratic Alliance (ADA) has urged Nigerians, especially youths and women, to rally behind its platform to rescue the country from political and economic decline.
ADA is among the political associations recently shortlisted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for registration as a political party.
In a statement on Sunday, Umar Ardo, national secretary of ADA, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have “failed woefully” and no longer have the moral right to govern the nation.
He warned that allowing both parties to retain power beyond 2027 would amount to “a death sentence” for Nigeria.
His words: “The hour of decision is now. Nigeria cannot afford another wasted election cycle.
“The recycled politicians of APC, PDP and others have forfeited every moral right to lead this country. Their continued grip on power is a death sentence for Nigeria’s survival as a nation.”
He described ADA as a movement for “moral rebirth” and called on patriotic elites, youths, and women to unite under its banner to “birth a political renaissance rooted in justice, sacrifice, innovation, unity and service.”
He stated: “This is no longer a choice; it is a duty. To stand aside is to betray Nigeria. To join hands is to save her.
“Let history remember us not as the generation that watched Nigeria die, but as the one that rose, united and gave her a new lease of life.”
Ardo added that ADA aims to give youths and women a pride of place in governance, noting that the party sees itself as “Nigeria’s Ark of Noah” that would ferry the country out of insecurity, poverty and hopelessness into prosperity and unity.
“As the job of registering the ADA has just started, it needs your participation to accomplish the process.
“We, therefore, call upon all and sundry to support and join the ADA for the sake of our people and country,” he added.
