FROM RAHILA ABDULLAHI, KADUNA
Group under the auspices of Social Democratic Party, SDP, Youth Vanguard, North Central Zone, has expressed confidence in the capacity of Prince Adewole Adebayo, saying he remains the leader of the party.
The group cautioned those they described as miscreants who are sponsored to spoil Adebayo’s name to desist from such acts.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Zonal Coordinator of the youth group, Comrade Yusuf Umar explained that contrary to the rumour making the rounds, the party remains united and determined to take over power from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2027.
Umar added that APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have both disappointed Nigerians in the past and presently, just like Nigerians are going through economic hardship. ” APC is weak, and we campaign against it,” he emphasised.
While addressing the press, the zonal coordinator was confident that the party will sweep the zone during the general elections.
“SDP has undergone a significant transformation, evolving into a welcoming platform for Nigerians from all walks of life. Our doors are open to everyone who shares our vision for a better future and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every member can contribute to the party’s growth and success.
“This transformation is a testament to our commitment to progress and determination to build a party that truly represents the interest of Nigerians.
“At this critical moment, unity among stakeholders is paramount. The average Nigerian voter is looking to the SDP as an alternative platform to rescue them from the failures of the PDP and APC. We must present a united front, capitalise on this opportunity and demonstrate our commitment to provide a better future for Nigerians.
“Unfortunately, some youths allegedly sponsored used our registered name to undermine the good work of one of the leaders of the party, Prince Adebayo. We call on them to refrain from that action in future or we will report them to the relevant authorities for disciplinary action.
“SDP Youth Vanguard is using this medium to apologise to Prince Adebayo on behalf of those youths who may have been misled to carry out that unfortunate activity.”
