OSOGBO — The Imole Campaign Council, ICC, on Friday urged security agencies deployed for Saturday’s Osun State governorship election to remain neutral and professional, while calling on the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, to ensure strict compliance with President Bola Tinubu’s directive on the conduct of the poll.

The council, which is backing the re-election bid of Governor Ademola Adeleke, said the President’s directive to security agencies to protect voters and ensure a peaceful election should be implemented without compromise.

In a statement by its spokesman, Pelumi Olajengbesi, the council welcomed Tinubu’s appeal to the police and other security agencies to remain professional and neutral during the election.

The President had directed the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, and other heads of security agencies involved in the election to provide maximum security at polling units and protect voters.
