We Didn’t Endorse Tinubu, Peter Obi Is Our Presidential Candidate – SDP

By -


 



The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has refuted claims of adopting the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer, Bola Tinibu, as its presidential candidate in the Saturday, February 25, election.


The party on Wednesday reiterated its decision to support the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.


Naija News reports that the SDP National Secretary, Saleh Dass, made this known in a statement titled: “SDP: Count Us Out Of Tinubu’s Adoption. Peter Obi Is Our Presidential Candidate”.



According to Selah, it was necessary to set the record straight due to allegations that some leaders of the party in Oyo State are supporting the former governor of Lagos State, contrary to the decision of the party to support Peter Obi.


The statement read: “The attention of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) led by Chief Supo Shonibare has been brought to a declaration by some of the Leaders of SDP in Oyo State, adopting Mr Seyi Makinde as an alliance joint candidate.


“The National Working Committee had directed that since the court action to determine the legitimate leadership of SDP and the legitimate constitution of the Party was still pending; after almost four years of litigation, states were at liberty to enter into alliances for the purpose of the elections in February & March with an opposition Party.


“However, those elected to align with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have taken a position that is contrary to this resolve.


“The NWC of SDP has constituted a five-member committee with Senator Ebenezer Ikeyina as Chairman, Mallam Nasiru N’Abba, Mr Kelvin Damara, Mrs Y. Nolan & Mrs Adenike Olujembola as Secretary.


“The Committee is to meet and report the veracity of the report on the allegation that some leaders of the SDP in Oyo are supporting the APC Presidential Candidate, contrary to the directive of the Party.”

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
