***Opens Doors to Patriotic Nigerians
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has restated its commitment to leading Nigeria toward a brighter future, declaring itself the viable and principled alternative ahead of the 2027 general elections.
At the conclusion of its National Working Committee (NWC) meeting held on April 8, 2025, the party reaffirmed its resolve to rescue Nigeria’s democracy from decline and offer a new vision anchored on good governance, justice, and national renewal.
Ambassador Rufus Aiyenigba, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, conveyed the outcomes of the meeting, which was chaired by National Chairman Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam. Aiyenigba described the SDP as “fully prepared” to chart a new course for Nigeria, calling it “a credible vehicle for national redemption.”
He stated:
“The SDP is not only ready to challenge the status quo — we are here to transform it. We are offering Nigerians a genuine alternative, not a recycled version of what has failed them.”
Addressing recent speculations, the party firmly dismissed any possibility of a merger or alliance that could compromise its values. “No merger, no clean slate,” the statement emphasized — a clear message that the SDP will not dilute its ideological foundation for political convenience.
Despite this stance, the party reaffirmed its open-door policy, welcoming patriotic Nigerians — especially young people and professionals — who are committed to the cause of national rebuilding.
As part of its 2027 roadmap, the SDP is expanding its reach through renewed grassroots engagement and diaspora mobilization. Membership registration processes have been streamlined across the states, and a tech-driven revalidation system is being introduced to ensure digital efficiency and accessibility.
The party also announced structural reforms to harmonize new and existing members, strengthen its internal systems, and enhance performance at every level of operation.
Calling on citizens to remain hopeful, Aiyenigba invited Nigerians to unite behind the SDP as a “bastion of refreshing hope and responsible leadership.”
“The SDP is not just another voice in opposition — it is a ready alternative. We are poised to lead, not just to contest.”
