The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has been thrown into disarray as protesters on Monday pulled down the main gate of its National Secretariat in Wuse 2, Abuja. The unrest, which occurred during a National Working Committee meeting, is rumored to be connected to the alleged imposition of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on the party's leadership, intensifying the Internal Storm ahead of the 2027 general elections.
  • Protesters pulled down the main gate of the SDP National Secretariat in Wuse 2, Abuja.
  • The incident took place on Monday, June 24, 2025, while the party's National Working Committee was holding a meeting.
  • Journalists present were reportedly assaulted by security operatives attached to the SDP office.
  • A source suggests the crisis is linked to the planned imposition of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who recently defected to the SDP.

Internal Storm reveals the turbulent waters beneath the surface of political ambition and coalition building. When a party's own gate is torn down, it highlights the profound internal divisions that can undermine collective goals. This moment speaks to the unseen struggle for power and influence, and the critical challenge of unifying disparate interests under a single banner.
