Former presidential candidate Peter Obi urges stakeholders to ensure a peaceful and credible Osun State governorship election on Saturday and to allow voters to choose freely without intimidation. Obi issues the call in a statement shared on his X (Twitter) platform, directing attention to the conduct of the election process.

Across the reports, Obi also appeals to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and relevant security agencies to maintain order and enable the vote to be carried out openly. He frames the request around protecting voters’ rights and preventing disruptions that could undermine the credibility of the poll.

Both outlets present Obi’s message as a general election-priority appeal rather than a response to any specific incident. The focus remains on ensuring peaceful participation, free choice at polling units, and the role of electoral and security bodies in supporting those goals.
