2023: Tinubu to sign pact with SDP
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) says a proposed alliance between the party and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, is real.
In a statement on Monday, the national publicity secretary, Alfa Muhammad their faction of the SDP are in talks with the APC presidential candidate.
Chronicle NG reports that the SDP is split into two factions. Last week, the faction led by Jerry Gana, a former senator and minister denied holding talks with Tinubu.
“The much trumpeted Tinubu-SDP proposed alliance deal is real and unstoppable. It is a plan ‘B’ option conceived since year 2020 by the authentic leaders of the SDP, to make sure that Nigerians never miss the treasure of having Asiwaju Tinubu as their next president,” Muhammad said.
“The agenda, which is known and popular amongst the elected (not appointed) national executive members of the SDP and stakeholders is not well known to the denying Jerry Gana boys, because they are strangers who joined the party just ‘yesterday’ along with Jerry Gana who has since returned to PDP but stayed behind to allegedly destabilise our party, and thus knows little or nothing about the party’s structures and agenda.”
Muhammad urged the public to ignore the faction, saying their claim to the party’s leadership would soon be put to an end by the court.
“We will address Nigerians on the subject fully shortly,” he said in reference to the pact.
