The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has warned that they will not be intimidated by anyone in the 2023 General Elections..
This was made known by the SDP Campaign Council Director General,Barrister Solomon Dalung who handed out the warning at a World Press briefing held in Abuja on Friday November 25, 2022.
He lamented that they are generating documents as well as trying to use the police to intimidate the SDP Presidential Candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo through fake records of alleged criminal issues.
Barrister Dalung further warned that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) should not in its desperation, truncate this transition.
He therefore, urged Nigerians to elect credible candidates in 2023, stressing that the SDP has the capacity to bring back prosperity to the country.
Speaking further, Dalung expressed reservations over some of the issues that are plaguing campaigns ahead of the 2023 polls.
“It calls to question, the violent level that characterised the campaigns,” he added.
He decried the flagrant use of government paraphernalia for campaign for the APC candidates, therefore, narrowing the space of other contenders.
Dalung said that the use of government aircraft for campaign of the APC Presidential candidate is an abuse of power, adding that if such assets are provided for one candidate, same treatment should be accorded others.
Dalung charged Presidential candidates of all political parties to embrace issue based campaigns, focusing on issues like security, poverty and those that are not in power should tell Nigerians what they will do.
On SDP campaign trend, he explained that the party has been moving from one place to another, responsibly canvassing for votes.
