The National Liberation Patriots Party (NLP) in Imo State has collapsed its structures into the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
This aligns with the current wave of political heavyweights joining the SDP across the country in preparation for the 2027 elections.
Leading the entire NLP structure, the Deputy National Chairman and South East leader, Prof. Chris Ogbonna, stated that they were at the SDP secretariat to make a final and unwavering declaration of their decision to join the party.
He said: “This is an unconditional move. We are not here to share power or positions; we seek to amplify the voices of our people. Our intention is to work tirelessly to build a platform where the ordinary citizen is prioritized.”

Ogbonna assured that his members are credible individuals who have joined the party to fight together and win. He also promised to work alongside party members to move the SDP forward in the spirit of unity.
He said: “We are all aware of the struggles faced by our people. The SDP is a party that has shown commitment to addressing these issues, and it is only by working together that we can create the change our state desperately needs.”
Adding his voice, a member of the NLP, Engr. Tony Ogu, thanked the state SDP Chairman, Dr. Henry Ifeanyi Eluwa, for his kindness and assured him of the full support of NLP members.
Meanwhile, the Deputy National Woman Leader expressed gratitude to God for joining the SDP, a party with a strong structure and no internal conflicts.
She assured that they were coming in to witness a new phase of Nigeria and to contribute to moving the party forward.
Welcoming the NLP members at the state party secretariat in Owerri, Imo State, the SDP Chairman, Amb. Dr. Henry Ifeanyi Eluwa, applauded their decision to join the party.
He thanked them for choosing the SDP, a space where the interests of the people truly matter.
He said: “Your presence here reinforces our commitment to creating a platform that serves the community above all else.”
He added: “This time, we must get it right, from the state to the local government and polling units. We have enough structures to accommodate everyone.”
