- Quits active politics
The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), former Presidential candidate of the All Peoples Party (APP) and Alliance for Democracy (AD) in 1999, Chief Olu Falae, has resigned the leadership of the party.
Chief Falae, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation during the military era, announced he will no longer be actively involved in politics, citing health challenge as a major reason for his action. He also cited irresolvable differences in the Social Democratic Party for his action.
The elder statesman made this announcement at a news conference in Akure on Friday.
