A Civil Society Organisation (CSO), Yiaga Africa, has expressed concern over the prevailing tension ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, saying it could discourage voters from exercising their franchise.
The Chairperson of the Osun Election Observation Mission of Yiaga Africa, Dr Asmau Maikudi, raised the concern at a pre-election press conference on Thursday in Osogbo.
The Chairperson of the Osun Election Observation Mission of Yiaga Africa, Dr Asmau Maikudi, and the organisation’s Executive Director, Samson Itodo, raised the concern at a pre-election press conference on Thursday in Osogbo.
She stressed the need for all stakeholders to create a peaceful and conducive environment for voters to cast their ballots without fear or intimidation.
According to her, while preparations for the election were broadly on track, the credibility of the process would ultimately depend on the performance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on election day.
