“I encourage our people to obtain their Permanent Voter's Cards where applicable, participate peacefully in the electoral process, and carefully examine the candidates, programmes and records presented to them before making their choices at the polls,” he said.

Arc. Olaleye  urged supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party to remain committed to peaceful political engagement and to communicate the party's programmes and vision to voters across the constituency.
