A prominent grassroots mobilizer and seasoned politician, Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman, has been elected as the State Secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Her emergence was confirmed during the party’s State Congress held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the SDP National Secretariat in Abuja.

The congress, which was peaceful and well-attended by delegates from across the FCT, marked a significant turning point for the party’s leadership. Several key officials were elected into various strategic roles, with Hon. Gloria’s victory standing out as a reflection of the party’s growing emphasis on inclusive leadership and grassroots empowerment.

Gloria Sarauniya is widely respected within political circles for her unwavering commitment to party ideals and her dedication to community development. Before joining the SDP, she served as Deputy National Contact and Mobilization Secretary of the PDP Professional and Business Group (PDPPBG), where she championed professional engagement and grassroots outreach.

Her election as State Secretary is being celebrated across the party as a boost to internal coordination and strategic planning. Known for her humility, administrative acumen, and passion for social inclusion, Gloria has consistently played pivotal roles in mobilizing support for the party across the six area councils of the FCT.

Speaking with JOWBBLOG, party stakeholders described her as “an astute politician, a tireless organizer, and a voice for women and youth in the political space.” One delegate remarked: “She deserves this position. Hon. Gloria Sarauniya has been a pillar in the party, always working behind the scenes to promote its values and strengthen its foundation—even when it wasn’t politically convenient.”

Her leadership as State Secretary is expected to usher in a new era of efficiency, inclusivity, and robust mobilization efforts, positioning the SDP for greater electoral success in the FCT.

With Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman now occupying one of the most strategic roles in the state chapter, party observers believe the SDP is better equipped to consolidate its grassroots presence and expand its influence in upcoming elections.
