SDP National Chairman, Alhaji Shehu Gabam, flanked by some members of the party's National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja
The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Shehu Gabam, has denied his purported suspension, describing it as “fake news” and a product of political mischief.
Gabam stated that he remains the party chairman and urged members of the public to disregard the suspension.
Gabam, who spoke flanked by some members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), said: “I remain the national chairman of the SDP as you can see.
“There was no official meeting of the NWC where the decision regarding my suspension was taken, wondering where the statement on the claimed suspension emanated from.”
Gabam also denied allegations of financial mismanagement, saying: “I’m sure by the time we submit the complete printout of our account from the banks to the security agencies, they will see everything.
“They will see everyone that money has gone into his account. Everyone. All the NWC members. It has not excluded anybody.”
Coalition Trying to hijack party
Gabam accused a new coalition being formed by some individuals in collaboration with some party national officials of being behind the recent crisis in the party.
“Some of us understand where it is coming from, because this coalition and some of the people in the coalition who believe that at all costs, they either get SDP or create confusion around SDP,” he said.
Gabam urged President Bola Tinubu to call the nation’s security agencies to order, saying: “They are not doing disservice to me. They are not doing disservice to this party. It’s a disservice to the country.
