…As NSCDC deploys 10,000 men, warns officers against partisanship
Workers and pensioners in Osun State have called for a violence-free governorship election on August 15, urging political actors and security agencies to ensure that residents can exercise their constitutional rights without fear or intimidation.
The call was made on Monday by the leadership of organised labour during a mini congress held at the State Government Secretariat, Osogbo.
Christopher Arapasopo, the state chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), expressed concern over reports of thugs allegedly moving around and shooting, urging the police to protect the citizens and property of Osun State.
Arapasopo appealed to President Bola Tinubu to call the Osun chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to order, stressing that the election should not be turned into a war.
