As the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, concludes last minute arrangement for the conduct of the Osun State Governorship Election, the Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu has urged it’s officials in the state to uphold the Code of Conduct and display every sense of commitment and professionalism.
Prof Yakubu in a statement released to Channel Network Afrique also urged the staff to stick to the Oath of Neutrality they subscribed to especially in the believe of their ability to consolidate on our recent successes.
Exactly 27 days ago, we conducted and concluded the Ekiti Governorship Election that was widely adjudged to be free, fair, credible, and inclusive. The feat was happily an elongation of the earlier successes recorded in Edo and Ondo States on 15th September and 10th October 2020, and in Anambra State on 6th November 2021. The sheer determination, resilience, and competence displayed by all of you, our members of staff, made it possible for the Commission to achieve these lofty goals.
“As you are aware, the Osun State Governorship election will hold on Saturday. I have assured our stakeholders and the people of Osun State that the Commission will not do anything to the advantage or disadvantage of any political party and candidate”.
We have made adequate arrangements for the election. We have promised a level playing field for all. The security agencies have assured us of safety, Yakubu added
The people of Osun State and Nigerians will understandably hold us to our promise on election day. They will observe our attitude and behavior from the opening to the closing of polls. They will particularly observe our management of the election results and measure the extent of our adherence to the extant laws through every stage of the electoral process.
