Ahead of the 2027 general elections, crisis has rocked the Social Democratic Party as protesters on Monday, pulled down the main gate of the National Secretariat in Wuse 2, Abuja.
The protest broke out while the party’s National Working Committee was meeting at the party’s headquarters.
The reason for the protest is still sketchy as of the time of this report.
Meanwhile, Media Talk Africa reports that journalists present outside the party’s secretariat were assaulted by security operatives attached to the office.
A source told Media Talk Africa that the crisis is not unconnected to the planned imposition of former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai on the party’s leadership. Recall that El-Rufai had recently defected to the SDP.
During an interview on Monday, with Arise Television, the former member of the ruling All Progressives Congress vowed to frustrate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s return in 2027.
