The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, says the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has no reason to fail in their responsibility to conduct a free and fair election next month.
Ooni made this claim while playing host to the Osun State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Dr. Mutiu Agboke, in his Palace, on Friday, in Ile-Ife.
He stressed that the future of over 200 million Nigerians rest heavily on the outcome of the poll.
“I wish to laud this current administration for providing the needs of INEC and I also commend the INEC for the introduction of high-powered technology to our electoral lives.
“If you ask me, INEC has no reason to disappoint Nigerians and I want to believe that, that won’t happen.
“The last election which held in Osun is enough as barometer for INEC to discover and overcome all possible hitches in its system so that we can have a perfect election.
“The rumour that the election could be postponed has caused a lot of panic in the system but I am also glad that INEC has debunked it and assured Nigerians that elections will hold as scheduled,” he stated.
Earlier, the Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner, who was on an advocacy visit to the palace, commended Ooni on his fatherly role.
