ABEOKUTA—The Social Democratic Party, SDP,
in Ogun State has broken its silence over the
controversial N100 million allegedly collected by
its National Chairman, Chief Olu Falae from the
former Chairman Board of Trustees of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,, Chief Tony
Anenih, saying, contrary to Falae’s claims of
distributing the money to state chapters of the
party, it did not get any money from him.
The money was allegedly linked with the $2.1
billion arms fund believed to have been
mismanaged by former National Security Adviser,
Sambo Dasuki.
Falae had admitted receiving N100 million from
Anenih.
The party, which was under the control of former
governor of the state, Chief Segun Osoba in a
statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Olu
Agemo and the Secretary, Clement Adeniyi
yesterday in Abeokuta, declared that it was never
notified of or involved in any negotiation to
partner with the PDP or any other party for the
purpose of winning the election or maintaining
peace during the period as claimed by Falae.
According to the party, ”We were never informed
by the National Secretariat of our party of the
decision to adopt former President Goodluck
Jonathan or any other candidate as the party’s
presidential candidate.
“That, we were never informed of any donation of
funds to the party by the PDP or any other party.
“That the SDP in Ogun State did not receive any
financial or campaign logistics assistance from
the national secretariat of our party or any of its
principal officers.
“That in April 2015 we made our position clear on
the sources of our campaign funding through
advertisement in the Guardian, Vanguard, Punch
and Tribune newspapers of Monday April 20,
before the current revelation.
“We plead with our members and supporters who
have received this untoward revelation with great
shock to remain calm and await the convocation
of a general meeting where these issues shall be
thoroughly discussed and appropriate decisions
taken,” the statement read.
.
“We assure you that the SDP in Ogun will
continue to operate within ethical and moral
norms as laid out in the principles of Progressive
Welfarism established by our progenitor, Chief
Obafemi Awolowo in the struggle to establish an
egalitarian, peaceful and equitable nation”, the
statement read.
