The Action Democratic Party (ADP) on Saturday explained why it opted out of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)-led Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).
The coalition was formed in June to dislodge President Muammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019.
Speaking at the South-West stakeholders’ meeting, ADP National Chairman, Yabagi Sanni, said the party dumped the coalition due to conflict of ideologies.
He noted that the party had joined initially on invitation, but soon realised the parties and people in the coalition had no moral credentials to rescue the country.
“Yes, initially we were part of the coalition, but we later opted out. We left because we felt the coalition was going nowhere”, NAN quoted him as saying.
“The same people who looted the treasury and who had been there and did not perform are the same people claiming they would rescue Nigeria.
“If we remain part of them, how do we convince Nigerians we are the credible alternative needed to rescue this country?”
Sanni condemned the unfolding leadership tussle in the National Assembly, saying it was proof that members cared more about themselves than the people.
He urged Nigerians to vote out the current membership of National Assembly and elect leaders who had their interest at heart.
