SDP EXCOS, Guber Aspirant, Dump Party for ANN in Adamawa
By Billy Graham Abel Yola
The former state chairman of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Ibrahim Bebetu together with the members of his executives committee and a gubernatorial aspirant, Abel Behora, have unanimously dumped the party for a new party, Alliance for New Nigeria, ANN, on the grounds that the national structure of the party has conspired with one aspirant Emmanuel Bello, to infect the party with a virus of dishonesty, injustice and corruption which is capable of plummeting the party's chances in 2019 elections.
Speaking on behalf of the defecting party members, Ibrahim Bebetu said, a party is defined by the quality of people within it and not just its name and that they had built SDP on the foundation of integrity but they had to leave because of the rot coming the national office of the party.
Bebetu made the remarks, Tuesday during a press briefing in Yola, Adamawa state.
Bebetu said, "The national office of our former party has given us enough reasons to suspect that there is an unholy relationship between it and the aspirant considering the plethora if questionable activities perpetuated by the aspirant without lifting a finger.
"We are fully aware of the latent forces of evil already working against us and we have convincing evidence that a prominent aspirant in the party is being sponsored and heavily funded by the enemies of our people to destroy the party through criminal tendencies against all decency and civilised behavior."
Bebetu further explained that the party has other aggrieved members member that have left the party with them to other parties in a bid to avoid "The deadly virus that has inflicted the SDP."
Speaking on their new party, the Alliance for New Nigeria, (ANN), Bebetu said, "In this new party we have found peace and consolation because of its impressive ideology and general acceptance in the middle belt as a national party.
He called on the people of the state to rally round the party to usher in an era political change and a new political order.
He challenged the people of Adamawa to defend their votes against rigging as 2019 elections may be full of surprises for electoral offenders and perceived enemies of democracy.
Bebetu commended INEC for the recent extension of voters registration as an action that indicates it's sense of national obligation.
He however challenged the electoral umpire to make special provisions to recapture victims of fulani herdsmen attacks and insurgency in the state so as to enable them exercise their franchise in the 2019 elections.
