The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, said that the party would not be involved in renting crowds for campaign rallies during the electioneering period, and also declared that only a holistic restructuring of the country could solve the numerous challenges in Nigeria.
Gabam stated these at a reception organised to celebrate two of its members; SDP governorship candidate of Delta State, Olorogun Keneth Gbagi and the governorship candidate of Kwara State, Prof. Wale Suleiman, who were recipients of the National Honours Awards conferred on them by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in Abuja.
He pointed that some of the political parties which have kicked off campaign for the 2023 elections were renting crowds to deceive Nigerians that they had been accepted, adding that
“Elections are about issues, not about crowd renting. It is about dealing with major issues that affect Nigeria like the issue of insecurity, education, assistance, the collapse of the health sector. So we are dealing with issues first before renting crowd, because basically, politics are about renting the crowd.
“As a party, we are strategic in our operations. We’ll be dealing with strategic issues that affect every one of us. We will unveil our campaign council very soon.
