He said the group composed of civil societies, NGOs, youths, women and other community organisations in Nigeria to work for the progress of the country.

He said, “in addition to ensuring that leaders are accountable and able to deliver on their mandate to Nigerians.

“We are engaging various political entities and liaising with the different stakeholders through effective communication and leadership prowess.

“In our subsequent meetings and consultations with various political parties and their candidates we are resolved with the following:

“That the SDP and her presidential candidate, the impeccable persona of Barrister Prince Adewole Adebayo Mr. Adequate is our preferred candidate for the forthcoming 2023 elections.

“All members from National level to Ward level should be a Card Carrying member of the Social Democratic Party.

“That some of our members (MAN) should be incorporated into the campaign council, workforce from ward level to national level.

“That in the event of the emergence of the victory of the party (SDP) in the Presidential, legislative both federal and state elections, state governorship election, local government elections, our members should be planted, rooted and incorporated in unity as part of the system from the ward to the National level.”
