The Social Democratic Party
(SDP) has announced its withdrawal from the Feb. 16, presidential
election and adopts the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate,
President Muhammadu Buhari, for the poll.
This was part of the resolutions of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party in Abuja on Thursday.
According to the NEC, “we cannot campaign, we cannot do anything because of the protracted legal issue and we feel that it is impeccable to technically withdraw from the presidential election.
