Ondo Guber: SDP Deputy Governorship Candidate Dumps Party Weeks to Election
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

With just a few weeks to the gubernatorial election in Ondo State, Susan Gbemisola Alabi has made headlines by resigning as the deputy governorship candidate for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Her unexpected exit raises questions about the party’s prospects in the upcoming election and what it means for her political future.

Alabi announced her resignation in a letter addressed to the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Bamidele Akingboye, and also informed the party’s national chairman, Shehu Musa Gabam.

In her correspondence, she made it clear that her resignation was effective immediately, catching many party members by surprise.

In her letter, dated October 2, 2024, Alabi expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to run alongside Akingboye.

She noted that working with him has been a valuable experience, stating, “Your leadership has been inspiring, and I have learned a lot on this journey.”

Her words reflect a deep respect for Akingboye, suggesting that their collaboration was meaningful to her, despite her decision to step away.

However, Alabi did not provide specific reasons for her resignation or hint at her next political move. This lack of clarity has led to speculation about her motivations.

Some observers believe her departure may be linked to internal dynamics within the SDP or broader political considerations as the election approaches.

In her letter to the national chairman, Alabi reiterated her decision to resign from both her role as deputy governorship candidate and her membership in the SDP.

She emphasized that the choice was not made lightly, stating, “I have valued my time with the party.However, after careful consideration, I believe it is in my best interest to pursue new opportunities and directions.”

This statement indicates that she may be looking for new political avenues or roles that align better with her aspirations.

The timing of Alabi’s resignation is particularly notable. With the gubernatorial election scheduled for later this month, her departure could have significant implications for the SDP’s campaign efforts.

Party leaders and supporters are now faced with the challenge of filling her position and maintaining momentum as they head into the final stretch of the election.

Despite her departure, Alabi extended her best wishes to the party and its candidates, stating, “I wish the party continuous success in its future endeavours.”

This sentiment suggests that, although she is stepping away, she remains hopeful for the SDP’s prospects in the upcoming election.

As the political landscape in Ondo State continues to evolve, Alabi’s resignation highlights the unpredictable nature of political campaigns.

Observers will be watching closely to see how this development affects the SDP and whether Alabi will emerge in a new political role in the near future.

The next few weeks will be crucial for both her and the party as they navigate this unexpected turn of events.
