The Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Ondo State, Hon. Stephen Adewale has resigned his position effective from December 31st, 2023, hinging his decision on a variety of reasons.
In a letter personally signed and addressed to Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, the National Chairman of the party, Hon. Adewale said the job has had a significant negative impact on his own finances.
The letter further reads: “In the past year, I have been the one who has taken on the financial obligations of the party, except from Prince Adewole Adebayo, who has always been helpful whenever we called on him.
“Second, while I was able to devote all of my time, focus, talent, and resources to the party during the past year, it had an impact on my other vital daily activities. I am the Head of Station of a media company, the position I combine with the
chairmanship position of SDP in Ondo State. Now, the company I work for needs my attention more than ever, and the expansion of the company has been significantly hampered by my absence.
“The third reason is that I am a writer, and had intended to write and publish two books over the course of the following twelve months. Unfortunately, since my research efforts would require a lot of travel, I would not be able to accomplish this while I am the Chairman of SDP
in Ondo State”.
He added that the party would need someone in the driver’s seat who could devote their whole focus, especially with the Local Government Election coming up and the Gubernatorial contest already underway stressing that there must no be a void.
While also thanking the leadership for the opportunity to serve and contribute to such an incredible political party, he appreciated the party for providing him with the platform and opportunity to make his contribution to the growth of his beloved Sunshine State.
He also thanked political gladiators who actively participated in one of the most difficult and fiercely disputed presidential elections in Nigerian history stressing that it was a rare opportunity to work with such a strong and dedicated political leaders.
