Meanwhile, the factional SDP last week disowned an alliance deal between Tinubu and the party but the party’s spokesperson cleared the air.

The real truth

According to Muhammad,

“The much trumpeted Tinubu-SDP proposed alliance deal is real and unstoppable. It is a plan ‘B’ option conceived since year 2020 by the authentic leaders of the SDP, to make sure that Nigerians never miss the treasure of having Asiwaju Tinubu as their next president.
“The agenda, which is known and popular amongst the elected (not appointed) national executive members of the SDP and stakeholders is not well known to the denying Jerry Gana boys, because they are strangers who joined the party just ‘yesterday’ along with Jerry Gana who has since returned to PDP but stayed behind to allegedly destabilise our party, and thus knows little or nothing about the party’s structures and agenda.”

Legit.ng reported earlier that some All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders of the 16 local government areas of Kwara State have notified the leadership of the party of their intention to defect to an unnamed party.

They warned the leadership of the party against its decision to ignore them on issues of utmost concern to the people.

The leaders, who insisted that they remain in the party in spite of the glaring shortcomings of its leadership, said they might be forced to opt for a last resort if the leadership continues to ignore them.
