Three PDP, two APC govs, 35 senators set to SDP

Social Democratic Party (SDP) National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Alfa Mohammed says a mass influx of Governors, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will be experienced this week.


He, however, refused to disclose their names, stating that a repeat of what happened in 2015 election is about to take place in 2019 election as Nigerians are tired of the APC and the PDP.

He said “First of all, you know there is a leadership vacuum created by the two bigger parties – the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress – as a result of bad governance. That led to a situation where Nigerians were disillusioned and the search for an alternative platform commenced.

“So, likeminded Nigerians from the political class and the civil society organisations came together and began the search for a new political platform that is credible and capable of ushering in a credible government that will implement the people’s programme.

“It is a fact that five governors and 35 senators have been meeting and they have endorsed this coming together. They are strongly behind it and it does not end there; others will also begin to as soon as the time permits. It has to do with strategy. So, it is a fact that we have those numbers that we have been meeting with for some time, and for strategic reasons, their names will not be mentioned now.


“You may recall that during the 2015 elections, a similar coalition was what led to the enthronement of the (now ruling) APC government. So, a precedent was set during that election.

“It is now clear that the easiest way to replace a non-performing government in Nigeria is for the opposition to come together. It is therefore a replay of what happened in the 2015 election that is about to take place. So, it is obvious that Nigerians are disillusioned and the government has not actually performed. It has not fulfilled its promises of better electricity supply, employment creation and security. All these have become worse under this government, and because of that, stakeholders decided to come together and perform a similar feat that was performed in 2015. So, right now, the vehicle has started.

“A chieftain of the APC in Adamawa State, Emma Bello, defected to the SDP. He is a former governorship aspirant and a former member of the House of Representatives. Similarly, About seven former commissioners in Minna (Niger State) had discussions with me, and that is what is happening all over the country. In the next few weeks, you will see a great surprise. You will see the influx of progressive-minded Nigerians into the SDP; not from the political class alone but even from civil society organisations, youths and even market women.

“For the first time, let me make it a bit clear: For the governors, three are from the PDP and two are from the APC. That is the most I can say. I have not mentioned this to any correspondent.


“For the senators, they are mixed and, as of this morning, our s in the National Assembly informed me that people have signified their interest and they have advised on what we should do again.

“By the time we finish all the arrangements, I assure you that the SDP will become the majority in the National Assembly before the election, and I am sure of what I am telling you. It is the truth. People have come to discover that there is the need for a third force.

“The PDP has disappointed Nigerians and Nigerians. In the quest for a change, they went for the APC, believing that it would be the messiah they were waiting for. Regrettably, the PDP was like Egypt, where the Jews were enslaved. And it was like the APC took Nigerians to the wilderness and abandoned them. So, Nigerians now are at a crossroads, whether to go back to slavery or remain in the wilderness. The SDP is therefore the vehicle that will drive Nigerians to the Promised Land, insha’Allah.”

It is when your sickness is gone that you stop taking medication.

La go melo?

political oloshos everywhere. they will still hijack the party from Olu falae's grasp like they did to tinubu.

Harry Kane has been injured eh �

Its not true except after 2019 elections.

Nonsense. Another association of looters and hoodlums.

Nigerian politicians are really shameless.

Always jumping from one political party to another.

Which one is SDP again?

Wike has turned PDP into a regional party. He will surely regret his insults at the Yorubas

Well, I won't believe it until it happens.

Politicians are better at boasting than anyone else.

SDP, NPP, APP, which ever just remove him from seat pls.

On paper?
Because I'm sure those senators and. Governors are only looking for the best place they'll easily win reelections.
Meanwhile.. Their defections doesn't matter to the common Nigerian as it's all about their pockets.

Nigerian politicians are not fools, please

They are the smartest set of Nigerians

They work together in harmony to steal our collective wealth

Whilst they leave us the populace to wallow in pain and discomfort

They employ various divisive tactics to ensure we are never sane enough to question their credibility

Wtf is the difference between PDP, APC and SDP

No one even cared enough to notice that the main argument of PDP against APC for the last two years is that APC is not better than them, not that they are actually better than APC

It is not like Saraki or Tinubu will not get paid whether they decide to remain in their party or switch allegiance to another party


Yet, we keep saying Nigerian politicians are stupid.

You are mad internationally.

all this recycled bin again,spits Nigeria is indeed cursed,I weep

Oloriburuku Ma ni Awon politicians yii sha (In Twyse voice)

anything at all that will unseat the murderer in Asorock I'm in .

Alara ngbaraga.

PDP is okay for now as opposition party if we must send this Dullard back to Daura next year. If thief.nubu is able to regain and restructure the party afterwards, APC might just be okay as the alternative party in Nigeria.

But should the party die with Buhari in 2019, then we might look the way of SDP as the alternate party.

I can see foolishness in ur DNA

Somebody will vote for a PDP convert in APC or SDP and claim he hates PDP.

That's why cross-carpeting won't stop.
