The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, has assured stakeholders ahead of the August 15 governorship election in Osun State. He recently had his say while speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting, including political parties, civil society organisations, and others in Osogbo.
Urging Osun residents not to be deterred by the spread of violence, he declared that INEC has no preferred candidate or political allegiance to anyone.
He concluded by saying that adequate security will be provided to protect voters throughout the election.
His words, “The Independent National Electoral Commission has no preferred candidate, holds no political allegiance, and seeks no outcome other than the lawful choice of the electorate, our sole loyalty is to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the sovereign will of the Nigerian people.
Apathy is the silent killer of democratic progress, and we must confront it head-on. The finest technology and the best-secured polling units mean little if they remain empty.
Do not allow fear, apathy, or misinformation to silence your voice. Turn out peacefully on Saturday, 15th August 2026, vote your conscience, and trust that this Commission will protect the sanctity of every valid ballot.
Our commitment is simple: no citizen should have to choose between their safety and their right to vote.
Let the streets of Osun State lead to the polling units on that day. Let your voices be heard, and let your votes count.”
