The party said its request was based on the principles of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness and equal treatment of political parties.
“In the spirit of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness, and equal treatment of political parties, we also request the provision of food, drinks, and other logistical support for participants at the event, consistent with the arrangements reportedly extended to the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a similar political engagement,” it stated.
The AAC argued that approving the request would demonstrate the Presidency’s commitment to fairness and equal access for political parties.
“We believe that granting this request would demonstrate the Presidency’s commitment to fairness, equal access, and the principle that public institutions must serve all Nigerians without partisan discrimination,” the letter added.
