The 52 political parties recently deregistered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have pitched their tent with the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo.
Leaders of the affected parties yesterday in Abuja, said their members would register in the SDP and work for all the candidates of the party.
The parties, under the umbrella body of Mobilise All Nigerians for Good Governance (MAN), said their aim is to ensure that they support credible candidates that will have a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians and the promotion of unity in diversity.
The leader of the group, Dr Odion Cedrack Okpebholo, said MAN was formed in March 2019, immediately after the 2019 general elections, and that apart from the deregistered parties, it also included civil societies, NGOs, youths, women and other communities and organisations seeking to work for the progress of the country.
“The SDP and her presidential candidate, the impeccable persona of Barrister Prince Adewole Adebayo, Mr Adequate, is our preferred candidate for the forthcoming 2023 elections.
“All members, from national level to ward level, should be card-carrying members of the SDP; that some of our members (MAN) should be incorporated into the campaign council, and workforce from ward level to national level,” he said.
