For the last two years and two months, anybody who is claiming to be national chairman of SDP is just floating on water, you have no mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no basis at all whether it\u2019s Shonibare, whether it is Agunloye, whatever, my tenure was the only legitimate executive and it has expired,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Falae congratulated the newly elected executives and promised to look into their request of leading the reconciliation of warring members of the party.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the party would have been a suitable bride with what was happening in the major parties in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The former minister of finance commended Ogunbameru for his efforts at fostering unity in the party in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cl want to thank the immediate past chairman of the party in Ondo State, Dele Ogunbameru, for his role at moving the party to an enviable position in the state,\u201d Falae said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the chairman of the party in the state said that the elder statesman\u2019s house was the first point of call since the inauguration of the new executives.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas said as the executives would be committed to his teachings and guidance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to seek your guidance.
