The party says it is intensifying efforts to expand its membership base nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>This was disclosed by Abubakar Dogara, the SDP\u2019s National Vice Chairman for the North Central Zone, during the party\u2019s North-Central Zonal Caucus meeting held on Thursday in Nasarawa State.<\/p>\n<p>Dogara emphasized that the party is making strategic moves to increase its support, describing the SDP as the new political \u201cbride\u201d of the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the party is actively preparing for the 2027 elections through ongoing member registration drives and regular meetings across various levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are organizing meetings from the zonal and national levels down to the wards, states, and local governments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s part of the preparation, and we have been registering new members across the country every now and then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur membership card has always been exhausted at the state level,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He commended key party figures such as Hon. Jonathan Gaza, Prince Adewale Adebayo, and Hon. Femi Olaniyi Ferrari, describing them as instrumental to the party\u2019s progress in the North Central region.<\/p>\n<p>Dogara noted that one of the key resolutions reached at the meeting was to safeguard the party\u2019s structure and protect its members, rather than allowing external influences to undermine its integrity.<\/p>\n<p>He urged Nigerians to support the party and its candidates, emphasizing the SDP as a viable alternative to the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSDP is now the alternative party in Nigeria,\u201d he said, stressing, \u201cWe are calling on all Nigerians to join the movement and register from the ward level up to the national level, in accordance with the party\u2019s constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the party\u2019s focus on the welfare, interests, and security of the people is what distinguishes it from those currently in power, accusing the ruling party of failing to uphold the constitutional provisions that protect citizens\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Idoko Idoto, Chairman of the SDP in Benue State, expressed strong optimism about the party\u2019s prospects in the state and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSDP has a 100% chance in Benue State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve governed here before and have consistently fielded credible candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome 2027, we are coming with full force.
