All Progressives Congress (APC) Youths Renaissance have stated that the newly floated party, Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA), have allegedly stolen its party logo from a popular brand in the country, Star Lager Beer, owned by the Nigerian Breweries plc.
In a statement signed by its National Secretary, Collins Edwin, the body 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.”
Speaking further, the statement said, “their [APDA] action is a testament that they have nothing new to offer to Nigerians other than recycling corruption using new political platform."
The group advised the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), 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.
Meanwhile, when Nigerian Bulletin checked the Nigeria Breweries Star Lager Beer Logo, it seems not to in anyway relate to each other," it concluded.
