In a significant political development, Olu Agunloye, the national secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has formally petitioned Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun regarding an alleged conspiracy aimed at forcing his resignation. The petition, filed on Tuesday, comes amid increasing tension within the party, particularly following the recent entrance of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai into the SDP.
Sources close to the situation revealed that certain factions within the SDP, reportedly loyal to El-Rufai, are actively pushing for Agunloye’s departure from the party’s leadership. Agunloye, when reached for comment, confirmed the submission of his petition, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
Political analysts suggest that these internal conflicts could have broader implications for the SDP, especially as the party seeks to establish its position in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape. Many observers are wary that these disputes may mirror the challenges faced by other opposition parties, including the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), which have recently dealt with similar crises.
Reactions on social media have been mixed, with some users expressing disbelief at the unfolding drama. “Politics na werey aje,” tweeted one observer, reflecting a sentiment of frustration with the current state of political affairs.
As the situation develops, all eyes will be on the SDP and its leadership to see how they navigate this internal strife and what it means for their future as a viable opposition party in Nigeria.
