Social Democratic Party (SDP) National Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Alfa Mohammed says five governors, about twenty senators and some members of the House of Representatives are set to join its fold.
Mohammed told newsmen on Sunday in Minna that dozens of Civil Society Organisations had also embraced the party in a coalition movement to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019.
He said, “In the next two to three weeks, the mass movement into the SDP will become more pronounced especially at the National and state Houses of Assembly and I am sure that the party will soon become the majority at the National Assembly”.
“They have indicated serious interest in joining the party and have been sending representatives to our negotiation meetings. Discussions have been on for some months with them”.
The spokesman disclosed that the national secretariat of the party has directed all state offices to commence registration of new members at ward levels as from Monday the 5th of March.
On former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mohammed stated that the SDP was his home and that he does not need to knock at the door before entering the party.
He said, “I need two to three weeks to confirm the issue of the former Vice President as it concerns our party. However, it might interest you to know that many prominent politicians from Adamawa state where Atiku comes from have joined us”.
