The National chairman of the party, Hon Rufai Adekunle Omoaje who spoke shortly after he was reelected at the party’s national convention held in Osogbo, the Osun State capital at the weekend, said AA is the only alternative political party for Nigerians.

He said “Nigerians are already tired of both the PDP and APC, which are the two major political parties we have in Nigeria today. Members of the two parties often cross carpet, which means they are one family.” “The only alternative that remains for Nigerians now is the Action Alliance.
Progressive minded people are already joining the party and you will see what will happen in the Anambra State governorship election which holds later this year and the other governorship elections which will hold before 2023,” he stressed.

He declared that the AA is already a threat to the APC, adding that the party will send APC packing at the federal level come 2023.

While condemning the policies of the APC led federal government, Omoaje urged Nigerians to vote out the party at all tiers of government and embrace the AA, which he said has welfarism agenda for the masses.
