Ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and Labour Party (LP) have ruled out any alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party or any other party in Kwara state.
The opposition parties made the declaration while addressing separate press conferences in Ilorin.
The presidential candidate of the SDP in the February 25, 2023 elections, Prince Adewole Adebayo made the SDP’s position known while speaking with newsmen at the party’s secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital, Monday.
Adebayo claimed that the PDP was responsible for the problems confronting Nigeria and asked rhetorically, how do we go back to form alliance with such party again?
“We joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) because we were injured by the PDP. The APC has also injured us. So, for us, there won’t be any alliance with any political party in Kwara state and elsewhere.
“The SDP is in the race to win elections, not only in Kwara state, but across the country.”
The SDP chairman in the state, Alhaji AbdulAziz Adebayo, also corroborated the presidential candidate and the state’s gubernatorial candidate on the merger issue, saying the SDP is not contemplating any alliance with any party ahead of the gubernatorial poll.
