Some domestic observers monitoring the ongoing Osun governorship election have commended the peaceful conduct of the exercise and the large voter turnout across Ede.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the observers were seen monitoring some polling units as early as 7 a.m., before accreditation commenced.

Omotola Akinropo, an observer with Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI), commended the electoral process while monitoring some polling units in the town.

Mr Akinropo said the election had so far been peaceful in all the communities visited, adding that security personnel had done well in coordinating the process and preventing any breakdown of law and order.

He commended the voters for the large turnout and urged all political actors participating in the election to accept the outcome in good faith and avoid any violence.
