Osun election: NDC chieftain tasks INEC, security agencies on fair, peaceful election

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to ensure a fair and peaceful election in the Aug.15 governorship election in Osun

Mr Ladipo Johnson, NDC candidate for Lagos Central Senatorial District, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Sunday .

He said the election presented another opportunity for INEC to prove its independence and ability to conduct credible elections in Nigeria.

“This election is a major test for INEC before the 2027 general elections. However, INEC alone cannot do it; security agencies and all stakeholders must ensure a level playing field for all political parties,” he said.

According to him, the ruling party at the national level must avoid using state institutions to frustrate opposition parties during campaigns and elections.
