2019: Mohammed Junaid Steps Down As Donald Duke’s Running Mate
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 on 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 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 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” he
said.
