Adamawa SDP faction defects to ANN

A faction of the Social Democratic party in Adamawa, led by its former chairperson, Ibrahim Bebeto, and other aggrieved members that included a governorship candidate under the party’s platform, Abel Behora, have dumped the SDP for the Alliance for a New Nigeria.

Their decision to dump the party was taken against their alleged infiltration and hijack of the party by Chief Emmanuel Bello, a governorship aspirant under the SDP in Adamawa State.

Bebeto who spoke on behalf of the aggrieved members said the mass exodus of members was as a result of the alleged brazen abuse and violation of the party’s constitution by undesirable elements that have infiltrated the party and thus hijacked it from those who sacrificed to build the party.

He said the crisis rocking the SDP started following the rejection of Emmanuel Bello, the SDP governorship aspirant, who demanded that the party executives should adopt him as the sole candidate of the party.

The members said they had no option but to leave the SDP for another party after it learnt there were plans to frustrate their participation in the 2019 election.
