Lagos — National leader of newly registered Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olu Falae yesterday said the emergence of the All Progressive Congress (APC) would make Nigeria political scene before and after 2015 more interesting.

Speaking with Daily Trust in Lagos shortly after the announcement of registration of APC as a political, Falae congratulated the party and commended Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for throwing up the nation's political landscape for more political parties to participate.

"SDP as a party congratulates the newly registered party, APC for the success. To me, this is a welcome development. But we are all going to meet on the field. We as a party are getting ready for the battle ahead and APC or no APC nobody can intimidate us.

"SDP was registered in April this year and on August 21 we will have full inauguration of the party in Abuja," Falae said.
