The Social Democratic Party (SDP)
has substituted the running mate of Donald Duke, its 2019 presidential
candidate.
Shehu Musa Gabam, who is also the
national secretary of the party, replaces Mohammed Junaid, the party announced
Thursday.
Alfa Mohammed, SDP national
publicity secretary, said the substitution was done long ago.
He said Junaid’s substitution was
subjected to deliberation at the party’s leadership level which he was a
member.
Mohammed said the consensus was
that Junaid should step down as the running mate for strategic reasons.
“Hence, as a genuine party man,
he voluntarily stepped down and thereafter signed all the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) forms required to perfect the substitution
process,” he said.
“He remains one of our highly
respected leaders the party is proud to have.
“Meanwhile, the substitution
which was done long ago now has Shehu Musa Gabam from the North East as our
vice presidential candidate.”
