Mr Alasoluyi noted that Nigerians are tired of APC led administration, hence the need for Nigerians to vote for all candidates of SDP so that the country can witness the desired social economic development.
According to him, Nigerians have never experienced this unwarranted situation since the country got its independence from colonial master.
” It is time for all Nigerians to use their voter cards to redesign the destination of the nation, how can the country blessed with human and natural resources be wallowing in abject poverty to the extent that the productive generations of her citizens are traveling abroad for greener pastures and the government is unmoved”.
Alasoluyi appealed to members of SDP in Ekiti State to continue to mobilise themselves and come out in their large numbers on the election day to cast their votes for all the candidates of Social Democratic Party.
The SDP bigwig charged them not to succumb to intimidation and harassment which is what some moneybag politicians in the state are known for, stating that such an act will be resisted by the people during the forthcoming election.
Mr Alasoluyi explained that people are ready to decide and shape the future of Nigeria, saying vote buying and other malpractice would be resisted by Nigerians during the poll.
He promised to continue to be of support to the Social Democratic party in Ekiti State for all the candidates on the platform to emerge victorious on the election day.
In a remark, Mr. Toyin Obayemi who is contesting for Ekiti Central Constituency 1 seat in the House of Representatives comprising Ado and Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Governments on the platform of Social Democratic Party solicited for the votes of constituents, saying if eventually emerges, he would perform excellently by bringing dividend of democracy to them.
