www.odogwublog.com reports that the new Anambra state Executive of the Social Democratic
Party (SDP) has been inaugurated by the state Chairman, Dr Webster Okonkwo.
Inaugurating the Exco at the SDP state Secretariat
office, Udoka Housing Estate, along Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Awka , Dr Okonkwo
said with the inauguration that the party is ready for the 2019 General
Elections as it shall field candidates in all elective positions in the state.
He said SDP is willing to give special considerations
to youths and women who are true democrats and worthy Ambassadors of the state to
contest elective positions, since SDP keyed in on the ‘Not Too Young To Run
Bill’’.
Dr Okonkwo insisted that SDP is ready to reclaim Anambra
state having won it in the third Republic when Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife was elected
as Governor of Anambra state, since the older parties have disappointed the
people of the state. He reminded that people of Anambra State will vote SDP again
because SDP is pro-people and behind the people unlike other political parties.
The Anambra State SDP Chairman said it was unfortunate
that in the past 19 years that few individuals enjoyed the resources of the
entire people and were never part of decision making whereas SDP is a party
that would engage everybody in the decision making, hence it could be concluded that it is participatory democracy that SDP is preaching.
Her said time is now for SDP to be voted into office
to enable it take decisions that are collective , just , fair in line with
ideals of democracy in developed world, adding that SDP is offering its
platform for the people to be part of decision making especially the neglected section
of the people , the youth and women.
He said it is in only SDP that there existed Youth
Parliament and Women Parliament , an innovation SDP brought into democracy to develop
talent for future leaders.
He further said the party has fixed its Primary
elections as follows: Presidential primary on 6th of October, Governorship
primary 28th of September, Senatorial Primary on 25th of
September, House of Representative 24th September, State House of
Assembly 23rd September even as he said their nomination forms are cheap
and affordable . He said House of Assembly Nomination is N400,000 and Expression of Interest N100,000; Federal House of
Representatives Expression of Interest N200,000 and Nomination is N800,000 ;
Senatorial nomination form is N2M while its expression of interest is N500,000
.
State Secretary of Social Democratic Party, SDP in
Anambra state, Hon Benson Mgbeike said SDP is the only credible alternative for
Anambra electorates as PDP is still embattled, APC not a party to be mentioned
in Anambra state because of its baggage and rejection by the people, while APGA
governs without recourse to the people like the banning of Okada people without
consultation.
Some of the officials inaugurated were Woman Speaker
Iyom Ogo Obika ; Youth Speaker Barr
Raphael Okeke ; Hon Emeka Makachi ; Zonal Chairmen ---Central , Chief Jerry
Nwabia ; North , Hon John Onyimonyi ; South, Edwin Nwokike; Deputy Chairman,
Hon Felix Eke and Publicity Secretary, Mmayie Okwuchukwu Okeke among others.
