Ahead of the 2027 general elections, leaders of the opposition Social Democratic Party (SDP) from the North Central have declared the party Nigeria’s political bride.
They claimed that the influx of new members to the party in the country is indicative of the fact the party would be the ruling party in 2027.
The National Vice Chairman, North Central of the party, Abubakar Dogara, was quoted in a statement in Abuja to have make this declaration during the party’s zonal Caucus meeting, which held on Thursday in Nasarawa State
According to Dogara: “We are holding meetings from zone, national level, ward level, state level and local government levels. It’s part of the preparation, and we have been registering new members across the country every now and then.
“Our membership card has always been exhausted at the state level. So, we are making preparations to take over leadership of the country come 2027, by the grace of God.
“I want to believe that SDP is now the (political) bride of the nation. Everyone is coming into the SDP, and I want to believe, even you, the media will also be part of the members of the SDP any moment from now.”
Urging more Nigerians to join the party and support its candidates in the forthcoming general elections, Dogara insisted: ‘’SDP is the alternative party in Nigeria now. Our message to Nigerians is to come en masse and join the party.”
He admonished party members to give support to its leadership. “First of all, support the leadership of the party by abiding with the provision of the party’s constitution.
Echoing same sentiment, Benue chairman of the party, Hon. Idoko Idoto, expressed optimism that the party would emerge victorious in 2027 in Benue State and other parts of the country.
“Well, SDP has 100 percent chance in Benue State. In the time past, SDP once ruled Benue State. We had a governor.
“So come 2027, I assure you, SDP is coming with full force. SDP is going to take over Benue State. SDP is going to take over the whole senatorial districts,” he said.
