SDP, Future is Bright and Certain
The Social Democratic Party (SDP), has said that six former governors, four serving senators and two other former senators among other prominent politicians, have indicated interest to join the party “very soon.”
The party also revealed that several other prominent Nigerians from Gombe, Borno, Plateau, Nasarawa and Benue are talking with the SDP leadership. While reading the reports of activities that took place in the last 5 months to the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, yesterday in Abuja, the SDP Deputy National Chairman, Isiaqu Abdulhamned, said the former governors and senators were enthusiastic to join the party ahead of 2019 general elections. According to him, “there are so many good things happening to the party and with this momentum and people approaching us, the future is bright for the party. On the proposed defection, the Deputy National Chairmen said: “Apart from these six governors, the other sets of groups and some prominent individuals with strong political relevance met with our leader yesterday and the meeting will continue today and they are quite enthusiastic to join us.
“ Four serving senators from the North-east only and two former Rep have also been talking to us. we have had four meetings with them and they are very much prepared to work with us. “From Plateau state, high power delegation came here which included a former state chairman of the crisis ridden PDP in the state and a serving House of Representative member were also here and we are talking. “From Gombe state, a popular former House of Representatives member has approached us. He said he has bought one Siena car, 11 bicycles and paid three years office rent in the central area in Gombe state for the party. All he needed is for our national leader to be in Gombe, while he will hand over all these things.”
Also speaking, the SDP National Chairman, Chief Olu Falae, said it took SDP years of experience “to get to where it is today,” adding that the party had not merged with the PDP or any party at as being speculated “because it has lost credibility even though there are still credible members in the Party.” He said: “I am happy that a lot of people are interested in our party. Someone sent a text message to me pleading passionately that the nation was putting its hope on this party and that we should for goodness sake not allow discredited people to sour our image and so on, and I replied and said that you are speaking to the converted.”
On speculated plan to merge with PDP, Chief Falae said, “please, we read in the newspapers that the SDP has merged with one party or it has been absorbed with another party, please just don’t believe it because you don’t have a leadership that can be bought or that can be absorbed. It is because of the credibility they see in us that they want to associate with us and we talking. “When the PDP delegation came to me they said that they were going to confess their political sins that when they were in power they abused the power, first of all within their party they killed the internal democracy, people will chose a candidate but the party will hand pick,  trying to play God and they eventually did themselves very serious arm and did Nigeria a lot of harm as well. Meanwhile SDP's door is wide open for dialogue or negotiations with individuals or patriotic groups desirous of providing alternative government".
