The National Chairman of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Chief Olu Falae has bemoaned the high influence of money in the ongoing campaigns saying that the parties in control of the federal and state governments were determined to buy the election.

Falae in a message to members of the party yesterday called on the electorate to vote massively for the SDP candidate, Mr. Olusegun Akinwusi who he described as the best candidate of the lot.
“It is regrettable that due to high level of poverty in the land, parties that control funds at state and federal levels buy election all over Nigeria”, Falae stated.

He appreciated SDP members in the state for their steadfastness and by proofing that politics is not only about money or mere pecuniary gains but about good governance and welfare of the people.
“Our candidate is a distinguished retired public officer. He is a complete gentleman and I am certain that he is the perfect person Osun state needs at this time. So, I strongly called on Osun people to massively vote for him.”
“He is not just bringing integrity into governance; he has served the state as Head of Service and come out with clean hands. He was an honest public officer who knows what to do. Osun people will do themselves a great honour to support and vote for him as a technocrat”, he stated.
