AD denies merger with AC
The Alliance for Democracy (AD), on
Tuesday, in Lagos, dispelled rumours of a merger with any political
party ahead of the 2011 elections.
Musa Umar, the deputy National Chairman
of the AD, in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria,
dismissed the rumour as untrue. “People have been calling me to find
out if AD has fused into AC in a political relationship.
Though
discussions are ongoing with several other parties, we have not
finalised what kind of relationship the parties wanted,” he said.
He said that the decision to merge with AC, or any other party,
would be made public after its National Executive Council meeting,
scheduled for Abuja later this week. “Discussions are ongoing but that
does not mean we would not entertain candidates who want to use our
platform to vie for elections,” he said. “But AD is still available
until the end of the discussions, then we shall know whether to fuse
into another or not.”
