The Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Shehu Gabam, has finally opened up about his recent meeting with former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai and allies of ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n
The closed-door meeting, which took place at the SDP national secretariat, sparked speculations about a possible political merger ahead of the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n
According to Gabam, the meeting was centered around conversations for a better Nigeria, rather than a political party. \u201cThere is no official statement from El-Rufai or any one of them about officially joining SDP,\u201d Gabam clarified. \u201cWe are looking for like-minded people who believe in the future of the country, so that we can work together and uplift the individual standard of Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabam also revealed that he has been receiving dignitaries from different political parties, discussing ways to stabilize the country and offer productive advice to the government. \u201cOnce the government has a crisis, it affects every Nigerian,\u201d Gabam emphasized. \u201cSo, part of our responsibilities is to make sure we are not facing a crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
The SDP chairman assured that there is an ongoing conversation, and when the time comes, they will arrive at a conclusion and hold an official press conference. \u201cOnce we agree on what we are going to do together, we will unveil it to all Nigerians,\u201d Gabam promised.<\/p>\n
Gabam\u2019s statement comes after a chieftain of the PDP and ally of Atiku Abubakar, Segun Showunmi, described the meeting as \u201cstrategic.\u201d Showunmi revealed that the meeting was called to review \u201cThe state of opposition democratic engagement in Nigeria\u201d and plan a stronger opposition for Nigeria ahead of the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n
