The Social Democratic Party will be committed to the principles of social justice, writes OLU AGUNLOYE
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) is positioned as the change-agent. It will not operate the “Clean Slate” model or the “Take-over” model. The selling points are the core values, ideology, principles, objectives, and the cardinal goals of SDP, not the shell of the party as a vehicle.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that have ruled Nigeria since 1999, have not done well. It is common knowledge that Nigeria is not where Nigerians expect it to be. Injustice, corruption, “money for vote” elections and high insecurity have led to economic crisis, massive youth unemployment and pervasive poverty. People are suffering and many more are getting trapped in poverty by the day. In the face of these challenges, the emergence of SDP as an alternative platform for progress has become compelling. This is why all SDP leaders and State chairmen are required to reach out to all people desirous of good governance to join the crusade for sustainable development and not leave this task only to our dynamic and charismatic National Chairman, Alhaji Shehu Gabam.
