The Assistant National Secretary, North West of SDP, Alhaji Idris Inuwa, disclosed this during a press conference held in Kaduna on Friday.
Inuwa also rejected the purported dissolution of the State Working Committee of the party, saying some individuals were working round the clock to hijack the party.
This move, Inuwa said, is not only unconstitutional but also a direct affront to the principles of due process and internal democracy, noting that it “underscores the nullity of the purported setting up of a caretaker committee under one individual.”
He added: “The Kaduna State Executive Committee is the legitimate outcome of a duly conducted state congress, reflecting the will of the party members and adhering strictly to the party’s constitutional provisions.
“This body holds a four-year mandate that remains valid, binding, and legally recognised throughout its tenure. Any attempt to arbitrarily dissolve this duly constituted leadership structure not only violates the party’s constitution but also undermines the fundamental principles of due process, fairness, and internal democracy.
“The SDP constitution states very clearly the process and procedure to follow in dissolving a State Exco; which includes initiating an investigation, setting up committee and providing fair hearing in a transparent manner before a decision is taken.
“While we recognise the growing interest of individuals and groups in joining the SDP, we emphasise that there are well-defined guidelines and constitutional provisions governing membership admission. The State Exco remains open and welcoming to all prospective members who adhere to these established procedures.”
