Umar Ardo Critiques ADC for Hindering Party Registration

Umar Ardo, a member of the ADC, expressed his frustration with the leadership of the ADC during a television interview on Wednesday. He accused the ADC of deliberately obstructing efforts to register a new political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Ardo argued that instead of facilitating a collaborative approach to resolve registration issues, the ADC has put a "clog in the wheel of progress." He explained that the opposition coalition is pursuing two parallel strategies: merging with the ADC and simultaneously pushing for the registration of a new political party. Ardo emphasized that the ADC should have allowed stakeholders to pursue the party's registration with INEC rather than impeding progress.

His comments reflect ongoing tensions within the political landscape regarding party registration and collaboration among opposition groups.
