The Social Democratic Party (SDP) is reportedly attracting big names from the opposition, with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi said to be in talks to join the party. Adewale Adebayo, the SDP’s former presidential candidate, disclosed this while featuring on Channels Sunday Politics.
According to Adebayo, several prominent politicians are discussing a possible defection to the SDP, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and El-Rufai. Nasir El-Rufai, the former Kaduna governor, had earlier expressed his wish for these opposition leaders to join the SDP rather than form a merger or new party.
