The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Shehu Gabam has welcomed Obinna Simon, AKA MC Tagwaye, to the party.
MC Tagwaye had on Thursday announced his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gabam said “MC Tagwaye’s decision to leave the APC and join the SDP is a testament to our party’s growing influence as the only true alternative for a better Nigeria.”
Earlier in a statement on his social media handles, MC Tagwaye said “After months of intense consultation and introspection, I, Obinna Simon, AKA MC Tagwaye, have made the bold decision to resign my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and join the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“This decisive move is born out of my deep-seated conviction that the APC has deviated from its original ideals and is no longer committed to the welfare and progress of the Nigerian people.
“The party’s glaring lack of reward system for loyal members, its gerontocratic leadership structure, and its policies that perpetuate hardship on low-income earners have collectively sounded the death knell on my membership.
“Furthermore, the APC’s internal democracy has been egregiously compromised, with a few power brokers dictating the party’s direction and disregarding the voices and aspirations of the majority.
“In stark contrast, the SDP has emerged as a beacon of hope, with its unwavering commitment to the youth, internal democracy, transparency, and accountability. The party’s vision for a new Nigeria, where the welfare and progress of all citizens are paramount, resonates deeply with me.
“I have formally submitted my resignation to my ward chairman of the APC, marking the end of my association with the party. I am excited to join the SDP and contribute to the party’s mission to build a better Nigeria for all.
“I urge all Nigerians who share my vision to join me on this journey. Together, we can create a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and our great nation.”
