The attention of the campaign organization of Alhaji Tajudeen Adefisoye also known as Small Alhaji, the SDP candidate for the 2019 House of Representative seat in the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency has been drawn to a malicious and fabricated news making the rounds that we have been disqualified by INEC in the forthcoming election. This is far from the truth.
While it is true that the initial final list of party candidates that was released by INEC omitted the name of Alhaji Tajudeen Adefisoye, this error has been corrected and INEC has promised to write a letter of apology to this effect.
As at today, Friday 26 October 2018, the name of the SDP candidate in the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency election, Alhaji Tajudeen Adefisoye is on the list and we will take part in the election.
This is an orchestrated attempt by the opposition who are jittery and see Alhaji Tajudeen Adefisoye as a threat to their failed political ambition. Our investigation revealed that certain individuals ganged up together and offered money to unscrupulous elements at the INEC office to carry out this wicked act but as God would have it, it was immediately detected and corrected. Their identities will be revealed in due course
The Alhaji Tajudeen Adefisoye also know as Small Alhaji campaign organization wishes to call for calm among our teeming supporters and to assure them that no amount of gangup or blackmail will stop us from contesting and winning the election come 2019. They should however be on alert and report any activity of the opposition in their communities that may be aimed at causing unrest as we approach the elections.
We are prepared for the election and ready to deliver the dividends of democracy to the good people of Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency. Small Alhaji has the pedigree and experience required to occupy this office and has met all INEC requirements. INEC supervised the primaries that produced Small Alhaji as the winner with an overwhelming number of votes. Till date, there has been no contentions on the primary from other aspirants, unlike the situation in some other political parties.
We therefore urge our supporters and the good people of Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency to ignore this fake news as it is the handiwork of masquerades who know that their end is near. We shall not only contest the election but we shall come out victorious at the end.
Thank you and God bless you all.
Fasipe Oluyemi,
Spokesperson, Small Alhaji Campaign Organization
