Ahead of Saturday’s local government election in Ondo State,the Social Democratic Party,SDP in Idanre local government have withdrawn from the election.
This was contained in a statement by Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye,member representing idanre/ifedore in the house of reps under the SDP.
Adefisoye said the withdrawal became necessary in view of the ongoing violence in the local government targeted at himself and the entire SDP members.
” This withdrawal is necessitated by the need to put a stop to the ongoing violence targeted at myself and the entire SDP members in Idanre. The bloodshed in Idanre has to stop and if my withdrawal is the needed sacrifice to put a stop to the violence, so be it.
The 1983 incidence must be avoided completely.
In the interest of restoration of peace to Idanre and to prevent further bloodshed in our dear town, I have completely withdrawn from the entire process of the Local Government election in Idanre and Ondo State at large. However, any member of SDP in the State that may still wish to continue with the election is free to do so; but it should be noted that my withdrawal from the process is irreversibly final.
The lives and properties of my constituents are worth more than any victory.” The statement read.
