In response to recent reports suggesting a defection of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) leadership in the Oke Ogun area of Oyo State to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the SDP wishes to issue a clarifying statement.
Contrary to the earlier reports, SDP asserts that only a minority faction, consisting of individuals who allegedly betrayed the party during the last election, has chosen to align with another political entity. These individuals are characterized as a negligible fraction within the party and are viewed as opportunistic actors motivated by personal interests.
SDP emphasizes its unwavering commitment to contesting the forthcoming local government elections across Oke Ogun, including areas purportedly represented by the defectors. This decision underscores SDP’s resilience and internal strength, as demonstrated by its continued pursuit of political objectives despite the departure of a few members.
Furthermore, SDP reiterates its dedication to serving the people of Oyo State, with a focus on addressing societal challenges and advancing the interests of the populace. The party remains steadfast in its mission to provide effective governance and deliver tangible benefits to communities across the region.
In conclusion, SDP dismisses the alleged defection as inconsequential and reaffirms its status as a formidable political force committed to upholding its principles and serving the public interest.
