“We have an action in court but some people have resorted to self-help, in not waiting for the Court decision, embarking on violence to stop us from holding the meeting.
“But now we have held the meeting and I’m glad that the police assisted us, thank you very much,” Chief Shonibare said.

He said that it look as if people were attempting to usurp the leadership of SDP by resorting to violence which has never happened in SDP.
“They are resorting to telling lies. They ignored the court process. Our only option now is to actually report what is happening to our Lawyers.
“We will also seek legal redress for those who were injured when the meeting was invaded and specifically the sponsors whose names were mentioned by the thugs
“They specifically mentioned their name. We will report this matter to the Police ourselves and take up the matter with our Lawyers,” Shonibare said.
He disclosed that the leadership of the party met and approved all the programmes including state congresses and national convention.
He assured that the leadership of SDP would continue to be in touch with members of the party on developments, while outcome of the NEC meeting would be referred to relevant authorities, including the Independent National Electoral Commission.
