Duke was declared winner by the party’s National Vice Chairman who doubled as the returning officer, Ishaq Abdul, early on Sunday morning, in Abuja.

In his acceptance speech, Duke promised to transform the country for the better, insisting that the country was yet to be where it ought to be.

His words: “I want to thank the Almighty God for making this come through. I thank my fellow contestants. This is the first and it is going to an arduous journey.

“We are far cry from where and what we want to be. We will make a different. We will campaign with selling our ideologies and decency to all Nigerians.

“We cannot do this alone. Nigerians deserve something better than what we have.

“What divides our nation is inadequacy and wants. We are guided by rules and regulations. We will be where we ought to be. Our national chairman is indeed a model.”

Addressing party faithful earlier, SDP chairman, Chief Olu Falae, accused the Federal Government of failing to guarantee the security of lives and property.
