We are here in Osun to educate the populace on the need for free and fair election
Ahead of
Saturday’s governorship election in Osun,
the Inter Party Advisory Council
(IPAC) has called for credible, free and free election. INEC Mrs Aye Dakpokpo,
IPC National Secretary made the call during a news conference on Thursday in
Osogbo. Dakpokpo urged the political gladiators not to see the election as a
do-or-die affair, adding that they should put the interest of the masses above
their personal interest. She said IPAC was in Osun to sensitise the people on
the need to shun violence before,during and after the election. “We are here in
Osun to educate the populace on the need for free and fair election and you
will agree with me that this is one of the strong pillars of democracy. “We are
focusing on no violence during the election and the need to minimise election
malpractices. “And the need for political parties not to encourage violence
during the election and that the reason for election is for people to elect a
leader that will serve them and not to rule them,” Dakpokpo said. She also
urged the political parties and their candidates to accept the outcome of the
election “as long as it is accepted to be credible”.
