SDP Visits Osisioma Foundation.

Leaders of the Social Democratic Party - SDP on Friday, April 20, 2018 paid a special visit to Osisioma Foundation. The visit coincided with the quarterly meeting of the Top Leaders of the Foundation at Awka.

Quarterly meeting of Osisioma Foundation is used to appraise the performance of its numerous humanitarian projects aimed at bettering the lives of our people especially the less privileged and the physically challenged. It is also time when the Foundation reviews its commitments in training of our youths and women in skill acquisitions and vocational jobs.

The Social Democratic Party, is the major political party that's galvanising Nigerians into a political alliance. The party is positioning itself as the 3rd force ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Senator Ebenezer Ikeyina, the National Vice Chairman, Southeast led other top leaders of SDP to the visit. 

During the special visit, the Social Democratic Party delegation said they were in Awka to seek cooperation and political understanding with the Foundation.

According to Senator Ikeyina, the SDP came to seek cooperation with Osisioma Foundation because they are convinced that the Foundation has credible political spread in Anambra state and southeast in general.

Responding, the Chairman of Osisioma Foundation, Dr Chike Obidigbo thanked the delegation for finding it worthy to visit the Foundation - which has presence in all the states of the southeast. 

Dr Obidigbo informed the visitors that Osisioma Foundation is made up of credible and respected leaders from different professional backgrounds who believe in enthroning competent leadership capable of growing our local economy.

The head, Political Directorate, Osisioma Foundation, Chief Tony Edochie made it clear that Osisioma Foundation due to its grassroot presence has in the past helped build some political associations but that such groups after gaining acceptance failed to carry the Foundation along. He therefore, concluded that the Foundation will be very formal in future political dealings.

After the interaction, the Foundation said it will mandate its political directorate to take a critical evaluation of their request and revert to them.

Other members of SDP that accompanied Senator Ebenezer Ikeyina to the visit were: Chief Ifeanyi Obalum, the November 18, Anambra State governorship candidate of SDP; Chief Nzekwe Ikechukwu, Anambra state chairman of SDP; Barr Okpalaukwu Okpalaezechukwu, immediate past Assistant National Publicity Secretary of Ohaneze Ndigbo among others.
