The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has called on members and leaders of the 74 de-registred political parties to team up with it, describing the party as a home for all.
ADP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Adelaja Adeoye, made the call in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday while reacting to the de-registration of the political parties by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Recall that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu had on Thursday, told newsmen that the commission de-registered 74 political parties out of the existing 92, leaving the country with 18 registered parties.
According to him, the parties were deregistered for failing to satisfy the requirements of the Fourth Alteration to the 1999 Constitution.
Part of the ADP spokesman’s statement read: “At this time, all those in the defunct and delisted parties must not feel like they have no place to go to because ADP is the party they should consider and they will be well treated when they join.

He urged party’s leaders and members to redouble their efforts in attracting more members and prominent Nigerians to the party’s fold.
