SDP: We are set to win 2018 Governorship Polls in Osun

Osun State chapter of Social Democratic
Party (SDP) has noted that the party has
resolved to defeat all other political parties in
the 2018 governorship election in the state,
saying the best time for the party to cruise to
victory is now.
SDP Chairman in the state, Chief Ademola
Ishola, who spoke after the party’s State
Executive Committee (SEC) meeting in
Osogbo, explained that SDP has positioned
itself to take over the mantle of leadership in
the state.
According to him, the two major political
parties, the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) are currently embroiled in crisis “and
this situation has helped our party in its
present healthy status as more people look
towards us to rescue our state.”
He disclosed that more people were coming
forth to identify with SDPin the state and
“right now, we have six prominent indigenes
of Osun State who have shown their interest
to fly the flag of our party in 2018.”
Ishola further revealed that SDP was not
planning to merge or form alliance with any
political party in the forthcoming
governorship election, saying this was also
the position of the party at the national level.
“While members of other political parties are
fighting, we are working and running around
the state to showcase our programme. For
welcome more people to come, and by this
April, we will commence full registration of
new members across the 30 local government
areas in the state.
“We will resist any form of infiltration of
hoodlums among our members. We will
ensure that SDP avoids what is currently
polarising
the APC and the PDP. We will present the
better alternative to governance to the people
of the state.
“People have seen the best of PDP in its
seven years in office and they have seen the
best of APC in its over six years in office. We
have seen hunger, deception and untold
suffering in the land. These are the legacies
of APC. The people can make the right choice
with us now.”
He warned outsiders planning to cause
disaffection among his members in the state
to steer clear, warning his members that his
leadership would not condone any anti-party
activity or any disregard to the party’s
constitution
