Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has stepped down as the
running mate of the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic
Party, Mr. Donald Duke, The PUNCH has learnt.
Junaid, who is one
of the fiercest critics of President Muhammadu Buhari, told our
correspondent during an interview that he decided to step down because
of the “many hassles of the SDP.”
He said he also stepped down as
the deputy national chairman of the SDP and had written letters to the
chairman of the party, Chief Olu Falae; and Duke.
Junaid said, “It is true. I stepped down a while ago because of the many hassles.
“I
also resigned as deputy national chairman. I have written to Chief Olu
Falae and Mr. Donald Duke. However, I have not resigned from the party.”
When
asked if he would be supporting President Muhammadu Buhari to ‘take
Nigeria to the next level’, Junaid laughingly responded, “You know I
will never do such.”
