ABUJA — Election observers monitoring Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State have warned accredited observers against disseminating unverified information capable of undermining the credibility of the electoral process.
The warning was issued on Friday during a joint operational briefing of international observers led by the Association of World Peace Advocates and local observers coordinated by the Civil Society Organisations on Community Advancement and Humanitarian Empowerment Initiative (CSCHEI).
CSCHEI, which said it is recognised by the United Nations, is coordinating 40 INEC-accredited civil society organisations to observe the election scheduled for Saturday, August 15.
At the briefing, the observers were directed to strictly adhere to the provisions of the Electoral Act while carrying out their duties.
