Shehu Gabam, the National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has alleged that certain members of an opposition coalition are plotting to oust him from his position in a bid to hijack the party’s structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during an appearance on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme aired on Tuesday, Gabam claimed that the coalition is trying to impose conditions on the SDP, including a demand to take over its National Working Committee (NWC).
According to him, these moves are part of a larger strategy to dominate the party’s internal structure and position it under external control.
“They gave us a condition to take over the National Working Committee of the SDP,” Gabam revealed.
Despite the pressure, he firmly maintained that he remains the legitimate national chairman of the party and vowed not to cave to political manipulations.
“I am still the National Chairman of the SDP,” he stated categorically, pushing back against speculation about his position.
