SDP will take over power from APC in Katsina in 2023: Chairman
Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Katsina, Bello Safana, says the party will take over power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023.
He told journalists in Katsina on Wednesday that stakeholders of like minds like the Katsina Initiative Development Association (KIDA) had resolved to collaborate with the SDP to achieve the dream.
He explained that KIDA, a non-governmental organisation, had collapsed into the SDP with a view to wrest power from the APC.
“After wide consultations between members of KIDA, we resolved to pitch tent with the SDP because it has a similar ideology with our organisation,” Mr Safana noted. “We felt this is the only way we can bring change and positive development by joining politics and contesting elections. This is the only way we can achieve our mission and vision.”
According to him, the SDP is contesting gubernatorial, national and state assembly seats in the 2023 general elections.
“Our party is firmly rooted. By God’s grace, we will win all the elections in 2023 (in Katsina),” Mr Safana said.
The SDP chairman was accompanied to the news conference by the party’s secretary, Garba Kurfi and its state Legal adviser, Umar Farouk.
