The Gombe State Chapter of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has disregard the existence of any faction in its fold, stressing that SDP in Gombe State is one family under the leadership of Alhaji Sani Abubakar Buga DaÉ—awagga as duly recognized by the SDP National Office.
This was according to a press statement signed and made available to Jewel Times by the State’s SDP Acting Secretary Reverend Jones Nawarke Ngai, after the party’s State Executive Council meeting in Gombe.
“We distanced ourself from the so called faction under one Hajiya Dijatu Baffa. This is politically motivated by some unscrupulous elements to undermine our unity and prospects in Gombe State.”
The statement therefore urged SDP members, the public, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and all security agencies to disregard any group parading itself in the name of Gombe SDP, aside from its genuine leadership under Alhaji Sani Abubakar Buga DaÉ—awagga.
The party executive stressed its unalloyed loyalty to the Acting National Chairman Professor Sadik Umar Abubakar Gombe, whom it said was officially recognized by the party’s National Working Committee.
The SDP also stressed its readiness and commitments to ensure only quality candidates emerge under its flagship for positive change in Gombe State and Nigeria come 2027.
