SDP National Secretary Petitions IGP Over Threat To Resign
The national secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olu Agunloye, has petitioned the inspector-general of police, Kayode Egbetokun, over an alleged plot to force him to resign.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that a former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai joined the SDP on Monday after resigning from the All Progressives Congress.
Sources told TheCable that members of the SDP loyal to El-Rufai, are pushing for Agunloye’s resignation.
Agunloye confirmed filing the petition when contacted by TheCable on Tuesday.
“I petitioned the IG about a person who forged letterhead paper and is threatening me to resign,” Agunloye said.
In a statement announcing his resignation from the APC, El-Rufai said he would work to unite opposition leaders against the APC.
“Without prejudice to this decision, as a member of the SDP, I will focus on engaging with and persuading other opposition leaders and parties to join us and congregate under a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in all elections and bye-elections between now and 2027 by the Grace of God,” he said.
“I, therefore, call on all our supporters and other persons concerned about our country’s future to join us in the SDP in the journey towards making Nigeria flourish as a beacon of pride for Africans and the Black Race.”
