The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Musa Gabam, has said that only the National Working Committee (NWC) members of the party have authority to determine its direction with regards to elections and related matters and therefore asked the party’s candidates to stop making unapproved comments.
In a statement on Wednesday by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ambassador Rufus Aiyenigba, the party stated that no member or candidate of the party was authorised to make any commitment on behalf of the party without the NWC’s approval.

The statement reads in part: “And for the avoidance of any doubt, the SDP national headquarters further makes itself clear by defining ‘members’ to include zonal chairmen, state chairmen, local government chairmen and ward chairmen and ‘candidates: to include the presidential, governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives and Houses of Assembly candidates.”
The party warned that any member who went contrary to the guidelines would be sanctioned accordingly.
