The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has cautioned the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole against overheating the polity with his unguarded utterances.
The National Secretary of SDP, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, gave the warning on Monday in Abuja during the ceremonial presentation of Certificate Return to Senator Iyiola Omisore as the Party’s candidate in the September 22 governorship election in Osun State.
He cautioned Oshiomhole to come to the reality that there was a clear difference between being a labour leader and national chairman of a political party.
DAILY POST recalls that Oshiomhole had said the APC would not hesitate to expel any Minister who flouted President Muhammadu Buhari’s orders.
In his reaction, Gabam said: “The man (Oshiomhole) should by now know the differences between being a labour leader and as well being a chairman of a political party, he should stop making reckless and unguarded statement capable of overheating the system unnecessarily,
“SDP is very intact and focused, it is a political party with history, we have not merged with any political party, we have only signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with some political parties and we are yet to work out the modalities the MOU will take,” he said.
On his part, SDP National Chairman, Chief Olu Falae, declared that the party was already prepared to win the Osun governorship election
Falae, represented by the Deputy National Chairman of the Party, Dr Maishaq Abdul, said: “the integrity of the party and the vast experience of its candidate will lead it to victory.
“The party painstakingly conducted a rancour-free primary in Osun State which eventually produced Senator Omisore, and this is for the electorate to be convinced that the SDP is ready to change the faces of bad governance in the State.”
Meanwhile Omisore, who boasted of his party’s integrity qualifying it to win an election, said: “The SDP will not distribute money to the electorate for the party to win the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.”
Omisore pledged that if elected the next governor of the state, he would block all the avenues of financial wastages in the state such as contract inflations, duplication of contracts and initiation of white elephant projects.
