A former Education Minister, Prof. Tunde Adeniran, has explained why
he left
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, with his supporters to join
the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
Adeniran also said Prof.
Jerry Gana had agreed to join him in the SDP.
Both Adeniran and Gana
were members of the Board of Trustees of the main opposition party before their
defection to the SDP.
Adeniran was a PDP
national chairmanship candidate in the December 9 convention of the party, and
Prof Gana was one of his staunch supporters.
Speaking with Punch in
Abuja on Saturday, Adeniran said he decided to dump PDP because of impunity and
imposition of candidates.
Adeniran said, “I have
left the PDP for the SDP with my supporters. I left because there is no
internal democracy in the PDP. It may interest you to know that Prof. Jerry
Gana has also left the PDP.”
When asked if Gana would
fly the presidential ticket of the SDP in 2019 as being speculated, Adeniran
said, “Whoever will be the presidential candidate will emerge from our
convention.”
