SDP Welcomes APC Decampees, Says Cabal are Directing Kwara Affairs
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kwara State has formally welcome stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress that defected to the party last week.
The harmonization meeting held on Monday at the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC office, Ilorin was presided over by chairman of Kwara SDP, James Dada.
Dada noted that Kwara State is one of the States where SDP found its footing with massive members.
He explained that apart from aggrieved APC members, members from PDP have also signified intention to be part of the SDP movement.
At the event, witnessed by some national officers and other state executive members, the party leader also said that the party
is waxing stronger with support of individuals, especially those willing to be identified with the party.
Kwara SDP Chairman said: “It is germane to state it here that some well to do individuals were pleased with the manifestos of the party and agreed to toe with us on the same track.
“Explicitly, this great party (SDP) has its membership cut across the 16 local government areas in the state. We are gathered here today for the old and new members to familiarize amongst one another. By so doing it will ease our duties to work as a formidable team.
“Not only this, we will also know where we need to intensify more efforts on. In fact, it solidifies and unites members. The statistics strength of the party is also easily accessible.
“It is in this light that, today’s gathering centres and connotes that Social Democratic Party has arrived and by the grace of God will rule the state come 2023. My message to all of us here today, is that, I strongly implore you to tell our parents, brothers, sisters, friends and all Kwarans home and abroad to massively come and join this great party-SDP. It is the only party that will take us to the promised land.
He therefore implored all party members to intensify more efforts in bringing in more people into the party, saying “We need to mount aggressive mobilization in all nooks and crannies of individual ward, zone, local government, senatorial and the state with our individual efforts, I want to say the sky is our limit.
“Let me quickly remind all of us that are here today that our people are suffering beyond explanation. I vehemently plead to all and sundry, especially men, women and youths to let us harness the wisdom and strengths that God has bestowed on us to take Kwara state out from the hands of the cabal directing the affairs of the state towards their own selfish taste”.
