SDP denies dissolution of Ondo State Executive
The National Executive Committee of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has denied rumors that it has dissolved the Ondo State Executive Committee of the party.
Mr. Alfa Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mohammed, while calling for peace and calmness in the party, noted that the malicious social media trending rumor was the work of usurpers and should not be paid any attention.
He said that for the avoidance of doubt, the NEC of the party had not dissolved any elected state organ of the party neither in Ondo State nor anywhere else across the country.
“We urge the leaders and members of the party in the state to ignore any directive from usurpers who hold no position but are purporting to exercise powers which they do not have to dissolve any organ of the party.
“We are yet to receive any official notification of the resignation of the erstwhile elected state chairman of Ondo State, Chief Korede Duyile.
“It is within the powers of the state Executive Committee of the party to appoint one of its elected members to occupy any vacant position and notify the National Secretariat of such an event.
“However, particulars of the successor who will assume the position in an acting capacity would be forwarded to the national headquarters for ratification or otherwise,” he said.
Mohammed urged party faithful in the state to cooperate with the leaders of the party represented by the elected executives; including the current member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Tajudeen Adefisoye.
He said that members’ support would ensure the peace and solidarity that had existed in the party since its last state congress was maintained.
