Edo SDP Chairman storms Edo state with Posters of GEJ & SDP 2015 partnership
SDP, PDP & APC IN FINAL SHOWDOWN ;The 3 Parties of SDP, PDP, APC are Contesting all positions of 3 senate seats, 9 Reps and 24 EDHA Seats in Edo state- Analysis of their strenght and weaknesses;
Three political parties of APC, SDP and the PDP are out to slog it out in the 2015 general polls of Edo state. The three political parties are contesting all the 36 elective positions of 3 senate seats, 9 Representatives and 24 House of Assembly membership.
Analyzing their strength and weaknesses may pose some challenges in the aspect that Edo state currently is undergoing lots of transformation in the contest of voters aparty as such there is a general believe that the two major political parties of APC and the PDP that had ruled the state since the beginning of the novae democratic experience have not actually delivered the dividends of democracy to the masses of Edo state and are besieged by internal strives which gave reason for some stalwarts of the party and the Edo masses to start looking up to a third alternative of the SDP that brand peoples oriented populist ideology of job creation, industrial and agricultural revolution, cheep electricity, water, free education at all levels, empowerment of youth, women and elders in the communities and what have you...
The SDP has sprang the surprise as Hon Razak Momoh , a member of the Edo state house of assembly suddenly decamped from PDP to join SDP and fortunately clinged the ticket to run on SDP platform as a member of House of Assembly representing Etsako West constituency 2  of Edo North. Hon Abubakar Momoh currently the Representative of Etsako in the federal House of Representative decamped to SDP to cling the senate seat of Edo North for SDP.. While a host of very big names like Anselm Agbabi  former House of Assembly member, Akin Abgaje former  chairman Akoko Edo lga, Obas Ekehinde of the Owan fed constituency etc in short the SDP  is firmly rooted in Edo North and would spring surprises judging from the support of the masses for the new entrant...
while in Edo central the SDP led by a former Gubernatorial candidate of AD Hon Idomonza Isidahomie leading a crop of seasoned politicians are out to spring surprise and in the Edo south same can be said where comrade Erugie Iyobosa is leading another set of determined SDP candidates to scoop all the seats of the Edo south polity...
The PDP under the leadership of chief Dan Orbih and Pastor Ize Iyamu also parade a 36 candidate team of highly experienced politicians that would be difficult to beat in this election and most likely would harvest more than 50% of the seats being contested.
The APC  have virtually retained all the honorables in the House from Kabiru Adjoto, to  Uyi Igbe, Philip Saibu etc but juxapositioning some of them for higher callings.. Their 36 candidate team which are all cronies of comrade Adams Oshiomhole has a new entrant of Bar Alimikena who clinged the senate seat of Edo North and as a greyhound in politics may have it difficult to edge out Pascal Ugboma of PDP and Hon Momoh of the SDP.
While in Edo south Hon Osagie of the APC  for senate will have a though battle to edge out PDP senatorial candidate Oroghide and the SDP candidate Hon Iyobosa.. and in that order of mutantis mutandis goes for the 9 Seats House of representative contest and the 24 Seats of the states house of Assembly respectively
Which would be keenly contested among the three political parties that have good structures all over the state.

The IPAC EXCO of Edo state under the chairmanship of His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga today held an emergency meeting on the space of violence in Edo state and in particular condemn in strong terms the fire that gutted the ITV television station and other politically motivated violence in the state. Also we noticed that bill boards , posters of candidates are being destroyed all over the polity and a cold war seems to be building up between the PDP and the APC.
We call on the federal government , the police and the task force to intervene urgently with a view to stop the imminent class that can snowball into mayhem and anarchy...
Long live Edo state, Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria.

H.E.Prince Frank Ukonga, chairman SDP Inaugurates Local Govt /ward structures in the 18 LGA of Edo state; Acquaints new members with the ideology, philosophy and manifesto of Social Democracy as crested on the fundamental tenets of Marxists’ school of Thought.
To entrench the presence of the SDP Party  in Edo state of Nigeria as a formidable grass rooted political party, the SDP stalwarts of Edo state under the leadership of His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga, recently began to inaugurate the Local Govt structures of SDP opening offices in the 18 Local govt headquarters of Edo state , appointing and empowering the Local Govt officers that would man these structures until a Local Govt. congress is held to elect p
ermanent officers that would run the offices at LG and ward level… the current officers appointed and inaugurated by the party are interim officers that His Excellency Chief Olu Falae the National Chairman of SDP, approved to be appointed to man the LG / state structures until a proper LG and ward congresses are held to elect officers at those levels..
His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga congratulate all the appointed LG chairmen, secretaries, women leader, youth leaders, treasurers, publicity secretaries, etc of SDP in the 18 local Govt of Edo state and those appointed at the ward level admonishing all of them to deliver their various wards and LGA to SDP in the forth coming general polls of 2015, the local Govt elections, and the 2016 governorship polls.
Furthermore His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga warmed all new party faithful to desist from anti party activities and obey the party leadership, to be well behaved and lead by example .To know the rational ideological tenets of SDP which is a social democratic party that adheres to classical and academic schools of thought of the forerunners of social democratic ideals like Karl Marx, Fredrick Angles, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, franz Fanon, Che Guevara, Ramdam Albain, Secou Toure, Thomas Sankara etc.. and they need to study , to go and buy books and read about the full ideology of social Democracy as it is totally different from the brand and style of mundane politics being played by the PDP and the APC… the SDP is a party for the esoteric, brilliant soul and not just for Tom , Dick and Harry, but remember you need the votes of all and sundry and you should be capable of interpreting the nobles ideals of social democracy as the philosophy of central left that crest its ideological fundamental questions of philosophy on the Marxist school of thought of Aposteriori knowledge and that our world in knowable and deterministic, and that human beings determines consciousness as adamantine catechism which inter alias invigorates enterprises in the polity which is the causality of social , cultural and economic dynamics of the society as they jokey along time and space,; From whence production manifested in the course of the historical development of the Homo sapiens. The production relations that followed from the early man to the complex relations of contemporary world are the problems and the question social democrats are out to resolve. More than 90% of the wealth of Nigeria and the entire world are in the hands of less than 5% of the population where we now have the stunningly rich and supper rich class and the 95% poor miserable, scavenging poor masses …bugged down by illiteracy, diseases, hunger, homelessness, misery, scavenging, want, frustration, grief, death and decay etal as the scourge and wretched of the earth according to Franz Fanon….As the ruminants of a disinherited, dispossessed  race according to George Elliot.. This is abnormal, unjust and contradictory course of dialectical and historical development…and armed with the theoretical cum practical synergy of the Marxist methodology, social democrat sets out to correct these satanic anomalies…
 Historical and dialectical materialism is the core of the philosophy of social democracy with strict adherences to Marxist laws of class struggles and social transformations..And currently Nigeria and the contemporary world are in the third stage of the Marxist social classification of the law of transformation of the quantitative to the qualitative… which would be your shield coupled with the laws of class struggle you should be able to furnace out a synergy to reach out to the electorates…Our law number one is that all Human beings are born equal and should have free access to essential products of free and qualitative education at all levels, access to employment and be employed… Law number two is that ,in a social democratic government all the citizens of the polity must be gainfully employed  , social democracy abhors redundancies be it voluntary of involuntary redundancy…,law number three is  free health services to all and sundry, cheap electricity, cheap houses, economic and agricultural revolution, sound foreign policy thrust of diplomatic and trade reciprocities, accelerated infrastructural development, empowerment of the vulnerable sectors of the society which include the youth, women , aged, children , handicapped, etc… investment in culture, sports and youth development, forming factories, manufacturing goods with a focus to achieve self sufficiency keeping imports to its barest tolerable margins, proactive and sound defense initiatives.etc
