SDP Records Daily Defections – Gabam

The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Shehu Gabam, has revealed that the party continues to receive defectors daily, including former ministers and senators.

Gabam made this disclosure on Monday night during an interview on Politics Today, a political affairs program aired on Channels Television.

“We are reaching out to people that will create the impact that will change society and make sure that we have a great country. So, the consultation is ongoing,” he stated.

The SDP chairman emphasized that defections into the party occur almost daily across the country.

“Let me tell you this: virtually every day, we receive decampees into SDP in every state of the federation, including today. I received some today in my office. These are dignitaries,” he said.

He further highlighted the increasing number of high-profile resignations from various parties.

“If you Google, you will see there are over 300 resignation letters from VIPs. Some of them were senators; some of them were ministers that are joining the party. So, it’s not about just one individual,” Gabam said.

He clarified that many of the defectors were not necessarily from the All Progressives Congress (APC), as they had affiliations with multiple political parties.

“Some of them are not really APC. Some of them belong to other political parties. Like the ones that I received, they belong to about four political parties,” he added.

Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, Gabam reiterated that the SDP remains open to welcoming more members.

“And of course, as a leader of a political party, I am to provide a base for every politician, irrespective of dissent,” he said.

He also stressed that the SDP is not hostile toward the current administration but is focused on positioning itself for governance.

“That is why we have multiple political parties registered by law. We are not antagonistic towards this present government. We did not create their own problem. I am a leader of a political party; my mission is to take over the government,” he added.
