2019: SDP Collapse Structures Into APDA In Ondo As Over 3,000 Join Party
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Ondo state on Tuesday collapsed the major structures of the party in the state to join force with the Advanced People Democratic Alliance (APDA).
Speaking on behalf of the state executive members of the SDP, the State Secretary, Hon. Dele Ogunbameru said the party members decided to join APDA as a party based on the premise as the only party with true social democratic principle, ideology and philosophy that can benefit the general masses.
Ogungbameru, who led other eleven (11) out of the twenty (20) state executives to APDA, added that their coming to the party, which he described as relatively new in existence, was to further strengthen the true social Democratic principle APDA stands for and join forces at making sure that Nigerians are free from the bandages of leadership.
In his words ” The only reason for joining APDA is because we see the APDA as a party with a true social Democratic principle, ideology and philosophy, our coming to the party which is relatively new in existence is therefore to further strengthen this real social Democratic principle that does not exist in all other existing political parties”.
More that three thousand (3,000) followers of the SDP across the eighteen local government areas of the state joined the eleven state executives members and the twenty -four (24) other local government chairmen and excos to the APDA.
Welcoming the new members to APDA, Hon.Akin Akinbobola, national Vice Chairman of the party(South West) , said all the new members would be fully integrated into the party without any discrimination, adding that APDA is a party with progressively minded individuals.
Akinbobola, who is the state convener of the party noted that the APC led government in the state has lost direction, without having anything to offer the teeming citizenry of the state.
He further said that since the inception of the present leadership in the state, no meaningful project or focus can be hinged as the policy thrust of the administration.
Also speaking ,the state chairman of APDA, Hon. Banji Akinkuowo said the party is the only one that can offer a bright future for the people of the country.
While adding that the PDP and the APC has failed the masses ,said APDA is ready to provide succour to the people who have been suffering from the poor leadership in the state and country at large.
As at press time, efforts to get the reaction of the National Chairman of SDP, Chief Olu Falae were unsuccessful as calls put across to his telephone line indicated it was switched off.
