three former ministers who are prominent members of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP are leading the race of dumping their present party for another party (Social Democratic Party SDP). according to report, SDP is merging with the Peoples Redemption party (PRP) and Peoples Salvation party (PSP) to form a formidable party ahead of 2019 elections.
A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae is a stalwart of the SDP.
Although ex-Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State and a former Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Ibrahim Mantu were part of the preliminary talks, it was unclear why they were not at the signing of the MoU.
A highly placed source in the group said:”As a matter of fact, Mantu propped up the name of a party which should be included in the merger but it was rejected. He attended the initial meeting but by the time the MoU was signed, he was not there.
“We are hopeful that he will be at our subsequent meetings. Some of our leaders are suspecting that Mantu may chicken out because he has been begging Adeniran and Gana not to leave PDP.
