The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has reacted to reports that
ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo’s Coalition for Nigeria Movement endorsed the
platform ahead of the 2019 election.
In a statement
Thursday night, Adakole Ijogi, SDP spokesman said the party neither knows about
such alleged endorsement nor would it encourage same.
He noted that although leaders of the two organisations have been in
communication and would continue to explore possible areas of synergy, at no
time did the SDP declare such endorsement.
“The SDP is in
strategic discussions with numerous groups, stakeholders, political parties and
high profile politicians, some of these discussions have birthed very fruitful
partnerships, while others are at different stages of conclusion”, the
statement added.
“As the Main
Force in the unfolding political events leading to the 2019 elections, SDP will
continue to follow the path of honour and integrity in setting the standard for
a new political order in Nigeria.
“The party, which
predates the current democratic dispensation, has won elections and now has
grave national responsibilities in helping to enthrone a new set of political
leadership based on strong core values, ideology and manifesto to birth a new
order,” he said.
