“We also wish to draw the attention of all members of the party that going forward, any attempt to work against the collective interest of the party will attract sanctions in accordance with the provisions of the party’s constitution.

“The understanding reached by the national body of our party to support the Presidential candidate of the APC, President Muhammadu Buhari, was done owing to the inability of our party to present a presidential candidate in good time.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Social Democratic Party adopted the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, as its consensus candidate ahead of February 16 presidential poll.

The National Executive Council of the party, however, explained that the adoption did not portend merger with the APC.
