The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has distanced itself from Wednesday’s endorsement of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar by Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) as the consensus candidate for 2019 presidential election.
SDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr Mohammed Alfa who disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja, said the party already has a candidate, Mr Donald Duke whose name had been submitted to INEC for the 2019 election.
Alfa said that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party would meet next week to take a position on the issue.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), on Wednesday announced that it had endorsed Atiku, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the 2019 presidential election.
Mr Ikenga Ugochinyere, the spokesman of the group who announced the endorsement, said Atiku is the coalition’s consensus candidate.
The SDP publicity secretary, however, said that the attention of the party had been drawn to the statement issued on the endorsement.
“We want to enjoin the general public, SDP faithful, especially all our candidates to carry on with their campaigns effectively, irrespective of the development.
“We assure you that the SDP National Working Committee (NWC) will meet and issue appropriate statement on the matter next week.
The SDP is one of the 39 opposition parties that formed CUPP in July 2018 with the aim of producing a presidential candidate that can defeat the ruling party All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2019 election with the aim of forming a government of national unity. (NAN)
Why
No problem let them go
Not surprising. SDP can’t support fraud
I’m greatfull to God for using Dr MOMOH to save me from hepatitis b virus. I’ve been carrying this virus for two years because to my best understanding there was no cure, until I met Dr Momoh. I used his herbal medicine as instructed by him, to God be the glory I went for the checkup and discovers the virus was gone. Contact him now via his whatsapp +2349058587788 or +2349068579672, he’s a God sent.
Already we know SDP and is founders are betrayals, in 2015 falaye collected money ? from Jonathan and still went ahead to sabotage him, and also omisore did the same in osun state election, after promising PDP, so coming out to take this position is not surprising.
Who are the SDP? What will be their contribution? Simply inconsequential and insignificant!
We don’t even need SDP to win election
Yes ooo. Are the SDP not part of the fraudsters ? Boy think before you post nonsense.
Which sdp the that omisore used to sell OSUN people out
But if money involved you people will change your mind,God is wonderful.
Who cares?
