The acting chairman of the party in Anambra State Chief Vincent Obi who revealed this to newsmen in Awka the Anambra state capital during the flag off, of the registration exercise in the 21 local government areas of the state.

He said the party has bounced back with a bang to take over the leadership of the country.

Chief Obi, who vowed to challenge the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA, in the forthcoming general elections in the state, said the party is targeting to register at least 2 million eligible voters before the election proper.

He told contacts party chieftains at the meeting that the National working committee of the party has directed members to embark on aggressive registration and mobilization drive.

He also assured them that the party has no room for urban town gorillers who are jostling from one political party to another pointing out that Social Democratic Party SDP, has a long-standing culture and philosophy and should not derail from it.

“Information reaching us says that about seven presidential aspirants have indicated interest to run for the presidential election under the platform of SDP but as it is now nobody has been anointed by the party or earmarked for the post of number one citizen position under the party”.

He also said that about sixty senators have also indicated their interest to run under SDP.

He, however, didn’t mention some of the senators but said that some senators representing Anambra state are carefully studying the political revolution going on in the party with great interest.

The state acting chairman, however, said that shortly after the registration and mobilization, the party will hold its congress and elect their, ward, local government area, state leaders

. He said the party has bounced back to take what belongs to it and lead the people of Nigeria to the promise land because the PDP and APC have failed Nigeria and it is time to sack them out of governance in Nigeria, he concluded.

I understand that PDP ticket has already been won and lost when considering reality on ground, however, I think the aforementioned aspirants should submit themselves to the PDP Presidential primary instead of moving to mushroom SDP. They should test their electoral might irrespective!

For me and members of Team Ahmed Makarfi, we are confident of victory at the Presidential primary of PDP and Presidential election 2019

Pick Saraki and win cs. Atiku, Tambuwal no way. Mark is a gentleman. He can pair with Saraki.

ATIKU!!!!!!!! SDP AGAIN?? DOG SWALLOW UR TESTICLE NI

I am sure this Mumu news is referring to another Atiku and not the Waziri Adamawa we all used to know. Fake news of the deepest dye!,

Governor Dankwambo is not leaving PDP to any party, he is not know to be a party jumper, he is firmly rooted in PDP and will remain in PDP if he emerges winner of the primaries which i'm sure he will, So be it

mere lies, talks by some people to stir up things in the party, but PDP is firm and Unshakable. Governor Dankwambo is not leaving PDP

This is a rumored lie. Dankwambo is staying put in PDP. And he will definitely be the flag bearer for PDP come 2019.

Dankwambo is a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party and has no intention of leaving the party for the SDP. But if the SDP wants to adopt Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo as its sole candidate for the 2019 election they are free to adopt him.

#Dankwambo2019 #RightManRightChoice

Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo is a formidable supporter of PDP having achieve all his political feat in the umbrella.

fake news... Dr. Ibrahim Dankwambo is loyal party man.

They should continue eyeing ooo meanwhile elections is less than 270 days away, like it or not fact is the way things are presently Buhari will win handsdown why? because there is currently no strong opposition nigerian election no be by social media opinions, that one is to feel the real mood of the people.

uid

We shall see

OK now
