Guber Poll: Kwara SDP Rules Out Alliance With PDP, Others
Ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has ruled out any alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party or any other party in Kwara State.
The presidential candidate of the SDP in the February 25, 2023 elections, Prince Adewole Adebayo made this clarification while speaking with newsmen at the party’s secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital yesterday.
The gubernatorial candidate of the SDP in the state, Alh Hakeem Lawal, had on a radio programme on Monday also ruled out a merger plan with any party in the state.
Adebayo who claimed that the PDP was responsible for the problems confronting Nigeria asked rhetorically, how do we go back to form an alliance with such a party again?
“We joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), because we were injured by the PDP, the APC has also injured us. So, for us there won’t be any alliance with any political party in Kwara State and elsewhere.
“The SDP is in the race to win elections, not only in Kwara State, but across the country”.
Adebayo who expressed reservation about the outcome of the presidential election said Nigeria will not move forward until all the stakeholders recognise the need to fight poverty and insecurity.
The SDP chairman in the state, Alhaji AbdulAziz Adebayo, also corroborated the presidential candidate and the state’s gubernatorial candidate on the merger issue, saying the SDP was not contemplating any alliance with any party ahead of the gubernatorial poll.
The state chairman of the PDP, Hon. Babatunde Mohammed, had last Thursday hinted about the possibility of the party forming an alliance with other parties to wrest power from the ruling APC in the state.
