The Social Democratic Party (SDP), has appointed Mrs Khadijah Okunnu-Lamidi as the Deputy Director-General of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) for 2023 general election.

Olu Agunloye, National Secretary, SDP, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.

He said the appointment of Okunnu-Lamidi alongside other PCC members was to ensure maximum productive engagement with the electorate.

Agunloye said the appointment would help to optimise the chances of electoral successes for justice, peace and prosperity under SDP government.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Okunnu-Lamidi, was one of the party’s presidential aspirants but lost at the primaries to Adewole Adebayo, who emerged as presidential candidate.

Agunloye said that Okunnu-Lamidi had remained steadfast in the party with a resolve to play an active role in the revitalisation of Nigeria’s reform agenda.

Commenting, Okunnu-Lamidi said her appointment as the SDP presidential campaign deputy DG was an effort in the right direction.

Okunnu-Lamidi promised to work diligently to execute the mandate of the party and the zealous mission of their candidates to protect the most vulnerable members of the communities.
