Hon. Bissallah Emerges as FCT Chairman of the Social Democratic Party
Hon. Nuradeen Bissallah, a frontline politician, renowned grassroots mobilizer, and loyal party stalwart, has been elected Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). His emergence followed a peaceful and well-attended State Congress held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the SDP National Secretariat in Abuja.
Bissallah clinched the chairmanship seat through delegate votes cast at the congress, marking a new chapter for the party’s leadership in the FCT. The event also saw the election of other key officials, including Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman, who was elected State Secretary of the party.
A seasoned politician with deep roots in Abuja’s political landscape, Bissallah had declared his interest in the chairmanship position in April 2025. His victory has been widely celebrated by party faithful and stakeholders, who view his leadership as a unifying force and a fresh opportunity to reposition the party for broader acceptance in the FCT.
Over the years, Bissallah has demonstrated unwavering commitment to the SDP, playing critical roles in the party’s development from the grassroots. His political journey is marked by years of experience and service, including a 15-year stint as Personal Assistant to the former FCT Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and later as Assistant State Secretary of the PDP before joining the SDP.
Party chieftains and members who spoke to JOWBBLOG described Bissallah as “an astute politician and mentor to the younger generation.” One of the delegates at the congress noted, “He deserves this position. Hon. Bissallah has been a pillar in the party, always working behind the scenes to promote its values and strengthen its structure—even when it wasn’t politically convenient to do so.”
His leadership is expected to usher in a new era of inclusivity, youth engagement, and strategic mobilization aimed at expanding the SDP’s reach and influence across the six area councils of the FCT.
With Bissallah at the helm, observers believe the SDP in the FCT is poised for stronger grassroots consolidation and increased visibility ahead of future elections.
