The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi State has issued a firm statement regarding the status of Moses Peter Oricha, who has been officially removed from his position as the state chairman due to his involvement in anti-party activities. Despite this dismissal, Oricha has continued to misrepresent himself as the state chairman, prompting the party to clarify his status and urge both party members and the public to refrain from engaging with him in this false capacity.
In a statement signed by Abubakar Kamar, a member of the State Caretaker Committee, the SDP emphasizes that the only recognized leadership is that of Chief Sam Ranti Abenemi, who leads the Caretaker Committee. This committee is the sole legally constituted authority in accordance with the party’s constitution, as endorsed by the National Working Committee of the SDP. The party expresses full confidence in Abenemi, describing him as a man of honor and integrity who remains dedicated to the core principles of the SDP.
The statement further highlights that Oricha’s recent actions serve only to validate the decision made by the National Working Committee to remove him for his anti-party conduct. The Caretaker Committee remains resolute, focusing on its mission to alleviate the suffering of the people of Kogi State, who have been adversely affected by poor governance.
The SDP assures its members and supporters that under Chief Abenemi’s leadership, the Caretaker Committee is fully committed to the party’s ideals and objectives. They are determined to fight for a brighter future for all citizens of Kogi State, emphasizing that they will not be distracted by Oricha’s attempts to create confusion within the party.
In closing, the SDP calls for unity and continued support from its members, reaffirming its dedication to governance reform and public service in Kogi State. The party urges everyone to stand together in pursuit of a better tomorrow for all citizens. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
