Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau on Tuesday declared that politicians defecting to the Social Democratic Party, SDP, with the aim of using it to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2027 are on a mission that is dead on arrival.
He made this statement while receiving the SDP’s Vice Presidential candidate, Yusufu Buhari, and the party’s governorship candidate in Kano State, Bala Mohammed Gwagwarawa, who defected to APC, in Abuja.
'Let me start by saying that those who have been going around the country, trying to woo people to the SDP, and thinking that their effort will create a platform capable of challenging the APC in the next election—the idea is confirmed to be dead on arrival. Dead on arrival. 'Why do I say that? People have rejected that invitation. People have said no, we are not coming to your party. The former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, and others who have been mentioned have also said no.
