Chief Olu Falae, a former Social Democratic Party (SDP) National Chairman, has clarified that the platform has no national executive committee.
He spoke on Friday when the new SDP exco members in Ondo visited him.
In attendance were the Chairman, Dele Thomas; Sola Agboola, State Secretary; ex-chairman Dele Ogunbameru and Korede Duyile.
Falae told them that since the party’s last convention in 2016, none has been conducted.
“All I want to say is that as of today, nobody can claim to be a legitimate member of the SDP national executive, not one.
“The last election was in March 2016, it expired in March 2020. Anybody claiming to be national chairman is just floating on water, you have no mandate.
“There is no basis at all, whether it’s (Supo) Shonibare or (Olu) Agunloye. My tenure was the only legitimate executive and it has expired”, he declared.
Falae, a former Finance Minister, was the secretary to the military government of Ibrahim Babangida.
In April, Agunloye announced he had stepped down as national chairman and assumed the national secretary role.
