The National Leadership of the Action Alliance (AA) under Chief Kenneth Udeze has noted with dismay the circulation of membership cards and materials by a group parading itself as “AA MOVEMENT” – Atiku-Amaechi Movement, with the abbreviation “AA”.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Action Alliance, for Chief Kenneth Udeze, National Chairman.
For the avoidance of doubt:
The abbreviation “AA” is the exclusive, INEC-registered and constitutionally recognized acronym of the Action Alliance. It is not available for adoption by any political movement, pressure group or association.
The use of “AA” and “AA MOVEMENT” by this Atiku-Amaechi group is misleading, deceptive, and calculated to cause confusion among the electorate and unlawfully appropriate the goodwill and identity of our great party.
The Action Alliance has no affiliation whatsoever with the so-called Atiku-Amaechi Movement, its promoters, or its membership cards.
The party therefore:
- Condemns in its entirety this impersonation and identity theft;
- Demands that the promoters of the said “AA MOVEMENT” immediately cease and desist from using “AA” as abbreviation;
- Calls on INEC, security agencies and the general public to take note of this fraudulent confusion and disregard the materials being circulated.
The Action Alliance remains a distinct, independent political party under the leadership of Chief Kenneth Udeze as National Chairman, and will take all necessary legal steps to protect its name, logo and abbreviation.
