SDP set to re-enact 1993 victory, says Falae

The National Chairman of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olu
Falae, said the party was set to re-enact a 1992/1993 victory that
saw late Moshood Abiola and Babagana Kingibe emerge victorious in
the polls.

The SDP then was one of the two authorised political parties by
the military. The current SDP has some members of the former one,
but both are distinct entities.

Mr. Falae was speaking in Yola where he led other national
leaders of the party to formally receive a gubernatorial aspirant
of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Emmanuel Bello, who
defected to SDP with his supporters.

He said that with the series of defection from other parties to
SDP, the party has proven that it was the much talked about third
force that would rescue Nigerians.

“PDP and APC have failed Nigerians. Nigerians are now looking
towards us to make the difference,” Mr. Falae said.

Also speaking, a former information minister, Jerry Gana, said
the event in Adamawa was the first since he left PDP to SDP, adding
that with what he saw, SDP would surprise Nigerians in 2019 general
elections.

“The SDP train is now on the move to salvage Nigerians,” Mr.
Gana said.

In his remarks, Emmanuel Bello said he left APC to SDP with
thousands of his supporters because the Adamawa APC has been
pocketed by some few individuals.

“For instance, since I became a member of APC in Adamawa State,
I have never been invited for a meeting of any structure of the
party, because there has been no meeting of any of the party’s
structures by people authorised to do so.

“In technical terms, the party is dead in Adamawa” and its
relics is in the pocket of a few.

“Today, the truth is that what is left of APC lacks cohesion and
unity required to present a common front. It’s obvious that we had
strange bed mates in APC in Adamawa state,” Mr. Bello said.
