The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has commended the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for its growing popularity and stronger presence in the political landscape of Ondo State.
The state chairman of IPAC, Mr Olaoluwa Adesanya, made the statement on friday while leading leaders of the council on a visit to the SDP secretariat in Akure.
Adesanya described the SDP as a formidable opposition in the state. He said the council recognised the party’s rising profile in Ondo, and he praised the quality of its leadership.
Adesanya emphasised that IPAC’s mandate was not to oppose government blindly but to engage in constructive criticism while acknowledging genuine strides in governance.
“We recognize the steady growth of the SDP and the contributions of Barrister Gbenga Akinbuli to deepening democracy in Ondo State.
“His induction into the Council is a step in the right direction,” he said.
Also speaking, IPAC Secretary in the state, Comrade Alex Adeniyi, described Akinbuli’s recognition within the Council as “timely and well-deserved.”
Adeniyi noted that the state SDP chairman’s contribution in IPAC would deepen democracy in the state.
In his response, Akinbuli appreciated the IPAC leadership in the state for the solidarity visit and pledged to continue supporting it’s programmes.
Other party leaders on the visit include Mr Jenyo Ataunoko, the Chairman of the National Rescue Movement (NRM); and Elder Funso Felix Owaro, IPAC Treasurer and Chairman of the Action Revival Movement (ARM).
