“Nigerians Hope is Not Negotiable” – SDP Debunks Rumours Of Alliance With Any Party
In a statement signed by National Publicity Secretary, SDP, Ambassador Rufus Aiyenigba in Abuja. The White Horse Party says It’s not in any alliance with APC, PDP, Labour, or any other political party for the election.
“Our Presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo is not stepping down for anyone – we’re still in contest of the Saturday February 25th Presidential and National Assembly elections.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, and to emphasize that we are still very much in the race, it is important to state that the SDP Presidential Candidate was present and not in anyway hidden in the crowd yesterday, in Abuja, at the signing of the second peace accord organized by National Peace Committee for all presidential candidates”
“In response to the very many calls that we have been inundated with by concerned Members of our great party, the SDP across the country, as well as the general public, concerning the prevailing rumors of purported endorsement, stepping down of our Presidential Candidate or the party forming alliance with other political parties, it is hereby categorically stated and affirmed, that the SDP is contesting this Saturday elections”
It adds that the SDP has not endorsed or formed alliance with other political parties.
“There is no iota of truth in the various claims making the rounds in that regards. Going by this unpleasant development of deliberately selling falsehood to the Nigerian public, it has become crystal clear that the nation is dealing with a group of recklessly desperate politicians who will stop at nothing to impose themselves on the electorate through their trademark of deception and propaganda which is what has led the country to her present sorry state of affairs”
According to the statement, its Presidential candidate has gone round the length and breadth of the country, engaging in a most uniquely appealing way, with all segments of the Nigerian electorate.
“He’s therefore in a very comfortable position of optimism, going into the Saturday election. All our national assembly Candidates have also vigorously transversed their various constituencies, delivering to the the people, their messages of hope”
It calls on all SDP Members across the country and the general public to disregard the claims in the media space mischievously sold out to deceive and confuse Members and the Nigerian electorate at large.
