Subject: Four Party Merge To Form Alliance For 2015 Elections

Four Nigerian political parties have declared
that they are coming together to form a working
political alliance as the country prepares for the
2015 general elections.
Announcing their alliance at the emergency
national executive meeting of the National
Conscience Party, the National Chairman of the
party, Yunusa Tanko, said that the Advance
Congress of Democrats, the Social Democratic
Party and the Labour Party are joining forces to
give Nigerians an alternative ahead of the
elections.
"We are pained that up till now, the Nigerian
people are yet to count their blessings without
making unpleasant reference to how they are
being governed. That is why we resolved as a
political party, not to be part of any merger but
in a working alliance with other like-minded
political parties."
The group also asked President Goodluck
Jonathan to address some of the issues raised in
the letter written by former president, Olusegun
Obasanjo.
"It is instructive to note that President Goodluck
Jonathan should address the nation as a matter
of urgency and answer most of the damning
allegations which was leveled by the former
president, which has placed this country in an
unsecured situation."
This is yet another alliance that has emerged in
the country outside the All Progressives
Congress, APC which was announced in
February 2013, and wrestling power from
Nigeria's ruling party, the People's Democratic
Party, PDP has been the major motive behind
these alliances as declared by the parties
involved.
The National Chairman of the Advance Congress
of Democrats, Yusuf Buba, while justifying this
recent alliance, referred to the parties on
ground, as "a mix-up of strange bed fellows with
different ideas and ideologies" which they claim
is an opposite of their alliance that is built on
the similarities in their ideas and ideologies.
The parties also said that details of their alliance
would be made available to the public in 2014,
as the 3rd alternative for the people, ahead of
the 2015 elections.
