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.

Her election as State Secretary is being celebrated across the party as a boost to internal coordination and strategic planning.
