The Benue State Chapter of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, has dismissed report of collapsing its structures for the Labour Party in the state describing the report as false and mischievous.
Fistnews reports that John Enemari was quoted in a statement as saying that given the “crisis” in the national leadership of the party, the SDP in Benue has decided to work with the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Reacting to the development, Vice Chairman of SDP in Benue state, Emmanuel Ibyabya said Enemari does not have the authority to speak for the party as he has since been expelled from SDP.
He said: “Ordinarily, the SDP as a disciplined, strong and focused political party with huge prospects of resounding victories in next year’s general elections, would not have contemplated joining issues with persons of questionable character but for those who may not easily detect and differentiate truth and falsehood, we have decided to set records in proper perspective.
It is expedient to put on record that, if it is the same John Enemari that we know, he was suspended by the party in January, 2022 and later expelled at the National Convention of the SDP on 8th June, 2022 and has seized to be a member of SDP.
“He therefore lacks the locus standi to act even as a member of the party.
That John Enemari has been expelled from office as a disloyal and unfaithful party man, whose leadership was turning a pestilential hair on the skin of the party and his superiors is no longer news as this can be verified from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and the SDP national secretariat.
“Following his suspension and later expulsion; instead of showing remorse to rebuild his lost integrity, the former chairman decided to embark on mischief and unfruitful attempts to recruit elements with the aim to dismember the party.
