As Osun State gears up for the 2026 elections, Bola Oyebamiji, the APC candidate, has taken a firm stand against voter harassment, emphasizing the need for a peaceful electoral process. His call for participation comes amidst concerns about intimidation that could deter voters from exercising their democratic rights.
In a recent statement, Oyebamiji expressed, “We must create an environment where every citizen can vote freely, without fear of harassment.” This sentiment resonates with many Osun residents who remember the turbulence of past elections, where violence and coercion suppressed voter turnout. As the election date approaches, the APC is keen on fostering a climate of trust and safety, urging citizens to engage actively in the electoral process.
With the stakes high, the commitment to a non-violent election is critical for the credibility of the democratic process in Osun State. As candidates campaign vigorously, the effectiveness of these assurances will be tested on election day. The real challenge lies in translating promises into reality, ensuring that every vote counts without intimidation.
