Former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation (SGF) Chief Olu Falae resigned as chairman of the
Social Democratic Party (SDP) on Friday because of old age.
The Director, Media &
Publicity of SDP, Yemi Akinbode, said his resignation was not new to the
leadership of the party.
His resignation came hours after
the party leaders adopted All Progressives Congress (APC)’s President Muhammadu
Buhari as its candidate for the February 16 presidential election.
Falae stated in his resignation
letter that his ailing health is part of the reasons for his resignation.
But Akinbode said Falae was part
of the party leadership that adopted Buhari as SDP’s presidential candidate.
He said: “He stepped down as
chairman of the party. He ought to have stepped down on September 31, 2018.
“That was when he clocked 80
years of age. But I do not know what caused the delay.
“He had earlier made it known
that when he clocks 80 he will quit politics. It is not a new thing.
“I feel that he was trying to
wait after the election tactically to quit. But he did that now. And he cannot
deny the adoption of President Muhammadu Buhari as the presidential candidate
of the SDP because he was part of the entire process.“
