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.
The controversial party logo
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”
