The Lagos State Chapter of the National Conscience Party (NCP) has disassociated itself from alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and 34 other political parties.

According to press statement issued by the state chairman of the party, Fatai Ibu-Owo, and its Publicity Director, Olaseni Ajai,  they totally disassociated the party from the so-called alliance and the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PDP and others.

They described the alliance as nothing but unprincipled and unholy alliance with no benefit to the Nigerian masses, the NCP, and with no no value whatsoever.

“The attention of the National Conscience Party NCP Lagos State Chapter has been drawn to a media report announcing an alliance between the NCP, PDP and 34 other political parties. The media report presented the National Chairperson of the Party, Dr. Yinusa Tanko as a major player in the alliance.

“For the avoidance of any doubt, the NCP Lagos State chapter totally dissociates itself from this so-called alliance and the signed MOU. We consider this as nothing but an unprincipled and unholy alliance with no benefit to the Nigerian masses, the NCP and with no value whatsoever.

“The national chairperson who is also one of the presidential aspirants within the party acted on his own individual interest and without consultation with any of the organs of the party. The action of the national chair is not in the interests and principles of the party and did not have the authority to act as such”, the statement read.

The Lagos chapter of the party held that  NCP has absolutely nothing in common with PDP or APC., adding that both  the PDP and the APC to them were categorised as birds of the same feather with no difference whatsoever and the Nigerian masses want a total booting out of the two parties of evil.

“The NCP is a party built on solid principles and would not associate with any political parties out to deceive the masses.
