ADP denies merger with SDP, says later sponsoring fake news

The Action Democratic Party has berated the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for allegedly sponsoring false news that the party has signed a merger understanding with it towards 2019.

A statement signed Thursday in Abuja by the Media Director of the party, Kayode Jacobs, said the National Chairman Engr. Yabagi Sani, was disappointed by the report, wondering why the SDP led by highly respected and disciplined Nigerian, Chief Olu Falae, will descend so low to sponsor a deliberate defamatory report.
The statement explained that the party was disappointed because the National Secretary of SDP, when contacted when the news first broke on social media had informed the leadership of ADP that the people who signed MOU with SDP came under the name of a group and not as ADP.
“We are therefore shocked that the party still went ahead to publish and circulate the news apparently to deceive gullible Nigerians and acquire undeserved popularity.
“We however still want to believe that an overzealous official of SDP would have been responsible as we still want to hold that the highly respected leadership of the SDP will not want to cut corners to attain popularity.
“However If any individual or  group of persons had succeeded in deceiving and defrauding the SDP that it is  representing ADP and signing MOU on its behalf, too bad and unfortunate.”
Sani insisted that the ADP is standing strong as the most credible alternative to the current experience while working hard to deliver the alternative to Nigerians by 2019.
“ADP has not signed any memorandum with any political party or any group whatsoever” Sani said insisting that the party is strong enough to provide the canopy needed by all well meaning Nigerians who desire a new nation where promises are kept and destinies are fulfilled.”
