On Sunday, the Action Alliance (AA) denied endorsing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as their presidential candidate in next Saturday’s election.
This was revealed in a statement issued by the AA’s National Chairman, Dr Adekunle Omo-Aje, who stated that the party did not have such an arrangement and was not planning to replace its presidential candidate with anyone else.
The AA group led by expelled national chairman Kenneth Udeze, together with four other political parties, had adopted Mr Abubakar as their presidential candidate for the Feb. 25 election on Saturday.

Other parties include the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), the Action Peoples Party (APP), and the National Rescue Movement (NRM).
Reacting, Omo-Aje said: “Our attention has been drawn to a fabrication and fraudulent arrangement, purportedly with some named political parties touching on stepping down for presidential candidate of People Democratic Party Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“We make bold here to say emphatically that our party, Action Alliance, has no such arrangement at all, nor was anything as such ever contemplated among our ranks.
“This is to further reiterate for the umpteenth time that our party, Action Alliance, is never thinking of any kind of collaboration with any political party or any candidate whatsoever.”
“Kenneth Obideche Udeze is a parasite that feeds on the blood of docile and gullible politicians; he is a Merchant of Venice.

“As a political party of repute, Action Alliance has hosted a series of world press conferences to alert the general public that, Kenneth Obideche Udeze is not even a member of our party let alone having any locus standi to speak or act for, or on behalf of the party anywhere, anytime.
“This, we did, to save would-be victims of this fraudulent political venture from getting defrauded.
“If anyone thereafter gets entangled in his antics and scam expertise, our party, Action Alliance, will be absolved of any associated guilt.
“Our party, Action Alliance, has a presidential candidate that is neither being withdrawn nor dropped.
“So, it is appalling to think that some political scouts without circumspect could still get scammed by this certified interloper as if they were charmed to blind olds,” he said.
