PRESS RELEASE -- Osun: NSCI Commends INEC, FG, Security Agencies on Free, Fair Poll

The National Social Contract Initiative, NSCI, commends the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), President Goodluck Jonathan and the security agencies for ensuring that the just concluded Osun State governorship election was free, fair, credible and peaceful.

 

We believe that the outcome of the election is a confirmation and a testament of President Jonathan’s commitment to free and fair elections in the country ahead of the 2015 general polls.

The outcome of the governorship election puts a lie to claims by the All Progressive Congress, APC, that security measures put in place by the Federal Government to ensure a smooth and credible election were designed to favour the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the election.
