The former Minister of Power, who spoke yesterday in Makurdi, said: "I received with shock, disbelief and horror the decision of the leaders of the SDP to support the APC in the upcoming presidential elections.

"As a major party stakeholder, I hereby denounce the decision to sell the SDP to the APC. I will never give in to the pressure to return the country that I loved very much and that I wanted to be president under brutal dictatorship and fascism.

"I call on all SDP supporters across the country to refuse to sell their products to slavery, to an emerging dictatorship, to oppression and recurring insecurity.

"This arbitrary, unpopular decision by some insensitive and generously parasitic party leaders is a serious betrayal for loyal SDP members across the country who have endured senseless arbitrariness, dreadful greed, and the painful process of party building. I feel this betrayal personally and viscerally. "
