The controversial party logo
hehe.....The
youth wing of the ruling party has faulted the logo design of the
newly-created political party - APDA as it calls on INEC to deregister
the party.
All Progressives Congress Youth Renaissance has observed that the
logo of the newly registered political party, the Advanced Peoples
Democratic Alliance was stolen from Star Lager Beer, one of the popular
brands owned by the Nigerian Breweries PLC.
The group wondered why a political party that seeks to take over
the reign of government at the centre could not think deeply and come
out with a logo not registered by any company in Nigeria.
Excerpts of from their public statement goes thus:
"Hence, their action is a testament that they have nothing new
to offer to Nigerians other than recycling corruption using a new
political platform.
"Therefore, as a frontline youths wing of the ruling party, we
believe that it is our duty to protect all Nigerians including their
intellectual properties from any form of attack or encroachments.
"Similarly, to avoid facing the anger of the World Intellectual
Property Organisation and other multilateral institutions like the
World Trade Organisation which Nigeria is a member, we are calling on
the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security
organisations in Nigeria to as a matter of urgency deregister the new
party as well as arrest its leaders for breaching the intellectual
property laws of Nigeria.
"Failure to act within the stipulated time frame as enshrined
in our laws, we will be forced to seek redress in the court on behalf of
the Nigerian Breweries Plc"
