Social Democratic Party (SDP) House of Representatives candidate in Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency of Ondo State, Alhaji Ahmed Olaniyi Saliu has stepped down for the incumbent member representing the constituency, Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye.
The decision of Alhaji Saliu to step down for Adefisoye was made known to newsmen on Monday in Akure with barely five days to the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
The youthful and ICT expert said his decision to step down for Adefisoye who is popularly known as Small Alhaji was informed by the overwhelming performance of the federal lawmaker. Alhaji Saliu added that he also decided to step down because Adefisoye deserves a second term in the overall developmental interests of Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency.
Alhaji Saliu further posited that reelecting Adefisoye as a Ranking member of the House of Representatives would bring a whole lot of benefits to Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency than electing a new member that will need some years to get acquainted with the politics of the National Assembly.
"I have taken time to analyse the benefits of my candidacy in the February 25 House of Reps election in Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency. I truly feel proud to have stepped down for Hon. Adefisoye today because of his overwhelming acceptability and popularity across our federal constituency.
"The man has also written his name in gold with his outstanding performance thus far as a member representing us at the National Assembly. In my honest opinion, Small Alhaji is the man that truly knows the way and the people of our constituency should not hesitate to reelect him".
Meanwhile, Alhaji Saliu has appealed to all SDP members across Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency to troop out on Saturday and cast their votes for Adefisoye. He added that Small Alhaji would definitely turn Idanre/Ifedore to a place of pride if reelected as a Ranking member of the House of Representatives.
