The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party,SDP, Shehu Gabam, has revealed the outcome of his meeting with a former governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai and some top political leaders.

Speaking during an interview on Channels TV on Thursday, Mr Gabam said the meeting was basically to review the situation of the country in 2024.

He also said the party has done nothing wrong in holding talks with Mr El-Rufai, who is a member of the APC.

“Why the dust about Malam Nasir El-Rufai? They say he is not significant, he’s nothing. Why the worry about El-Rufai? Why the worry about Segun Sowunmi? If they are important, why won’t the government give them the relevant roles they need to play to enhance the efficiency of the government?,” he queried.

He said: “The meeting was to strategically review the situation of the country in 2024 as a party. We are an opposition party with elected members in the parliament, state assemblies, and in the local governments.

“So, we owe it a duty as a party to look at areas where things are not going right and open the space of the party and reach out to a lot of people.

“It’s the same things APC did when PDP was misbehaving; they re-organised, they regrouped, they relaunched a merger that led to the defeat of the PDP.

“So, we are not doing anything wrong. I don’t know why the brouhaha about it as if this is the first time Nasir El-Rufai visited or Segun Sowunmi who happens to be a friend. We’ve been in this struggle for a better Nigeria, not to undermine Nigeria.”

He also revealed that members of the president’s cabinet lacked the capacity to drive the president’s vision.

He said Nigeria has never faced the economic hardship they are facing today.

“No president that was elected to serve four years and has issues in two years can survive. Jonathan’s opposition started within two years – he lost election,” Mr Gabam said.
