SDP national chairman resigns.
The acting National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olu Agunloye, has resigned his position and assumed the position of acting national secretary of the party.
Mr Agunloye made the disclosure in a phone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Akure on Wednesday.
Mr Agunloye, who explained that his resignation was not due to his suspension by the party in the state, said it was to strengthen the party’s chances ahead of the incoming general election in the country. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Ondo State chapter of the SDP suspended Mr Agunloye, a former Minister of Power and Steel, in a letter dated March 28, over alleged anti-party activities.
In the suspension letter, Mr Agunloye was accused of bringing non-party members into the party to cause confusion and disturb the functions of the party executives at both state and local government levels. The party stated that Mr Agunloye was suspended from his ward (ward 10) in Akoko North-West Local Government Area of the state, following a resolution of the ward executives.
According to him, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party met on March 22 and announced that all positions that are zoned to the South are now zoned to the North. “So, there is no big deal about swapping in the party because the presidential aspirant is coming from the South. In fact, one of the leading aspirants is coming from Ondo State.
