Nigerian political analyst and social media commentator Lere Olayinka has sparked a conversation online after pointing out the striking similarity between the logos of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the newly unveiled All Democratic Alliance (ADA).
In a post made on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on June 21, 2025, Olayinka shared an image comparing the two logos—both prominently featuring a corn cob, a symbol popularly referred to as “agbado” in Nigerian parlance.
He captioned the post:
“Kolision of Konfusion.”
The remark has generated buzz online, with many users questioning whether the ADA copied the logo from the now-defunct ANPP or if both parties coincidentally used the same agricultural symbol.
Brief Background: ANPP and ADA
-
The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) was a once-powerful political force, especially in Northern Nigeria. It reached its peak in 2003 when it governed seven states, before eventually merging with other parties in 2013 to form the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
-
The All Democratic Alliance (ADA) is a newly proposed political party that was unveiled by the Nigeria National Coalition Group (NNCG) on June 19, 2025. ADA is positioning itself as a fresh opposition front ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The controversy surrounding ADA’s logo has raised questions about the party’s originality, identity, and strategic planning.
Many Nigerians online echoed Olayinka’s concerns, saying that the party risks public ridicule and confusion if it fails to establish a clear and distinct identity.
Political observers argue that in a competitive political space, even symbolic elements like a logo can shape public perception and voter trust.
