We are set to win 2018 governorship polls in Osun, says SDP

Osun State Chapter of Social Democratic Party (SDP) on has stated its

resolve 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 on Thursday, February

23 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 SDP

in 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 now, we

welcome more people to come and by this April we will commence full

registration of new members across the 30 local governments in the

state.
“We will resist any form of infiltration of hoodlums among our

members. We will ensure that SDP avoids what is currently polarizing

the APC and the PDP. We will present the better alternative to

governance to the people of Osun state.
“People have seen the best of PDP in its over seven years in office

and they have seen the best of 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

stated.
He warned outsiders planning to cause disaffection among his members

in the state to stay clear, warning his members that his leadership

will not condone any anti-party activity or any disregard to the

party’s constitution.
