Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 44805, member: 636"] Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo laughed at the new political group called All Democratic Alliance. He said the party leaders are trying to trick people about what they really built. Keyamo wrote his thoughts on social media after hearing about their plans. The minister thinks these politicians are just playing games with voters. He believes they want to scare people but have no real power. Opposition leaders filed papers with election officials on Friday to start their new party. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and past Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai lead this group. They want to challenge the current government during the next presidential race. The application went to the Independent National Electoral Commission for approval. These politicians hope to unite different opposition forces under one banner. Keyamo said this effort cannot compare to what happened back during 2013. Real political parties joined together that year to create the All Progressives Congress. The current ruling party grew from actual mergers between established groups. These new organizers only have a few people behind their movement. The minister thinks they are making false claims about building a strong coalition. The aviation chief called their registration attempt a normal process that happens often. Many groups apply for party status with election officials every year. Keyamo said the leaders created unnecessary excitement about something very ordinary. He thinks they are trying to fool citizens into believing they represent something special. The minister sees their efforts as weak attempts to gain attention from voters. [/QUOTE]
