Stakeholders in Osun State have pledged to guard against vote-buying and electoral violence to ensure a free, fair and credible governorship election in the state.
This was the thrust of a stakeholders’ roundtable attended by representatives of youths, persons with disabilities, security agencies, media, civil societies and officials of the National Orientation Agency (NOA).

The event, which was organised by the Centre for Transparency Advocacy (CTA), focuses on sensitising the people of the state to participate in the election, shun inducement and avoid electoral violence.
The director of NOA in the state, Mr Oluropo Ibikunle; executive director, Centre for Transparency Advocacy, Mrs Faith Nwadishi; and CTA team expert, Professor Anthony Kola-Olusanya, urged participants to cascade the message to their groups.
They appealed to all those participants in carrying out election duties to play their roles as stipulated by the electoral law and shun any act that may undermine the process.
