The Social Democratic Party has come to
the defence its national leader, Chief Olu Falae, over the allegation
that he collected N100m part of the $2.1bn allegedly diverted by former
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).
The National Publicity Secretary of SDP,
Mr. Abdul-Hamed Isiaq, while speaking at the congress of the Oyo State
chapter of the party in Ibadan on Saturday, said Falae collected the
money from the Peoples Democratic Party on behalf of SDP because an
alliance was formed by the two parties to support PDP presidential
candidate, former president Goodluck Jonathan.
Isiaq stated that the money was meant for the campaign programme of SDP in support of PDP’s Jonathan.
He said, “SDP collected N100m from PDP
and it is because SDP and PDP formed political alliance. The alliance
stated that SDP would not feature a presidential candidate in the
election.
