The ugly news filtering around that the Nasarawa State Working Committee has suspended the SDP’ Governorship Candidate should be disregarded. It is fake news. It is false.
Neither the State Chairman nor the SWC has the powers or any authority to suspend the Governorship Candidate from the Party or withdraw his mandate to contest on the platform of the Social Democratic Party.
It is a huge misinformation and grievous untruth for the Nasarawa State Chairman or anyone to say that he has been “instructed from above” to carry out the illegality of attempting to suspend or expel our Governorship Candidate, Hon Mohammed Alfa Mustapha from the Party two days to the election. This is not only false, it is malicious. Neither the National Chairman nor the NWC has authorised the State Chairman or his SWC to disown or suspend the Governorship Candidate. The moves and manoeuvres of the State Chairman have been countermanded effectively by the leadership of the Party.
I can authoritatively say, on behalf of the National Chairman and the National Working Committee, that the Social Democratic Party and all its structures are firmly behind Hon Mohammed Alfa Mustapha and all SDP Candidates in Nasarawa State.
We urge all our members and the public to vote SDP all the way on Saturday, 18th March 2023.
