Olusegun Osoba
Lagos—The National Chairman of Social Democratic Party, SDP, Chief Olu Falae yesterday flagged off the Lagos chapter of the party.
Addressing party supporters in Lagos, Chief Falae said that all the parties without ideology would fade away.
He said: “By the grace of God SDP will control Ogun State House of Assembly. We will win many seats in Lagos and across the South West states.”
While confirming Chief Supo Shonibare, as chairman of the party in Lagos, he, however, urged party members in the South West to ensure that they contest in all elective positions in Lagos state.
Osoba, who was represented by Sen. Gbenga Kaka (Ogun East Senatorial District,) said that SDP was where to be and the party to beat in 2015.
Osoba described the SDP as the fastest growing party in Ogun State and Nigeria saying, “we will return all our candidates in the 2015 polls.”
Also speaking Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo said that most political parties in Nigeria lacked ideologies and that where there was no ideology, there would be no principles.
Adebanjo lamented that “people go wherever there is money and our politics is no more for those who love the country. what we have now is candidates based on money.”
Warning of a likely peoples revolution in Nigeria against oppression if the nation’s leaders do not change their ways, the Afenifere chieftains said: “SDP has a track record. We are not there for the money but to render service.”
He urged Nigerians to rise against corruption in practical terms, saying “we are being deceived in Nigeria everyday. SDP is the only party that can reproduce what Awolowo did.”
On his part, Shonibare said that the SDP would show itself to be a true vehicle for transformation of the country noting that “we will make a huge impact because two months is a very long time in politics. If we take our destiny into own hands, we will chase the minority away.”
