My administration committed to credible gov poll, says Adeleke
Information obtained by Valid9ja shows that Adeleke assured the observers that state institutions would cooperate with relevant stakeholders to ensure a transparent electoral process.
He emphasized that security agencies, electoral officials, political parties, and voters all have important roles to play in safeguarding the integrity of the election.
The governor also pledged that his administration would continue to promote peace before, during, and after the poll while encouraging political actors to conduct issue-based campaigns.
EU Election Observation Mission Monitors Electoral Process
The European Union Election Observation Mission routinely deploys election observers to monitor electoral processes in several countries, including Nigeria.
Their role includes assessing whether elections comply with domestic laws and international democratic standards while providing independent recommendations to strengthen future electoral processes.
Valid9ja gathered that the observers are expected to engage with electoral officials, political parties, civil society organizations, security agencies, and other stakeholders throughout the election period.
The mission’s findings often contribute to improving transparency and public confidence in electoral outcomes.
Adeleke Calls for Peaceful Participation
Governor Adeleke urged residents of Osun State to remain peaceful and participate responsibly in the democratic process.
He appealed to political supporters to avoid violence, hate speech, and any actions capable of disrupting public order before or after the election.
The governor maintained that democracy thrives when elections are conducted peacefully and when the will of the people is respected.
He further expressed confidence that Osun State would once again demonstrate political maturity during the governorship poll.

Importance of Credible Elections
Political analysts have consistently emphasized that transparent elections are essential for sustaining democratic governance and public trust.
They note that collaboration among government institutions, election observers, political parties, security agencies, and citizens can significantly reduce electoral disputes and improve confidence in the democratic process.
As preparations continue, stakeholders are expected to work closely with INEC to ensure that electoral guidelines are fully implemented across all stages of the governorship election.
The statement that my administration committed to a credible gov poll, says Adeleke, reinforces the Osun State Government’s pledge to support a free, fair, and peaceful governorship election. With election observers already engaging stakeholders, many Nigerians will be watching closely to see how the process unfolds in line with democratic principles.
