The Pioneer Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP)in Osun state, Chief Ademola Ishola this afternoon reinstated the call of the SDP stakeholders to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential
candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Ishola in a statement in Osogbo on Thursday, February 21, 2019 disclosed,
that, "the foundation members of the party from the 30 local governments have resolved to severe all ties with Otunba Iyiola Omisore and his coalition agenda with the APC."
According to him, "Majority of the SDP members, particularly the old supporters have no pact with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state and were not involved in any coalition agreement with the ruling
party."
He stated that the party was faced with a situation where some people who were never part of the vision of SDP and those who lacked ideals of what the party stood for,hijacked the party and wanted to destroy it like they did to their former party.
“For instance, the former deputy-governor of the State, Iyiola Omisore and his supporters came to our party in April last year and you will recollect how they caused several trouble for us. He spent less than six months and now he is out again. The crisis Omisore caused is still very much with us".
“We have decided to save our party in the state. We will support our members who are contesting in the forthcoming election, but we have directed all authentic members of SDP to vote for Atiku and for PDP candidates where we have no candidate.
“We resolved to do that because we are of the opinion that we cannot collaborate with those responsible for the killings, hunger, unemployment, nepotism and
suffering in our land.
"It is our resolve to join hands with the PDP to bring an end to all the terrible situation that the ruling party forced on the good people of Osun state and Nigeria"
"The pains and sufferings of our people must be stopped and we shall deploy all legitimate resources to make this dream a reality".
"Our Presidential candidates have endorsed Atiku Abubakar,so every member of the party be it a Gana or Duke' supporter,we are bound to tow their path by voting the PDP"
Ishola called for a peaceful polls, and encourage electorates to come out enmass without fear of intimidation.
"The presidential order and the show of force by the security agencies is just to scare voters."
