#Osun2018: CSO’s Commends Security Operatives For High Professionalism

Some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) monitoring the ongoing Osun governorship election have praised the high level of professionalism displayed by security personnel who have been deployed to the poll.

In a telephone interview in Abuja, the Executive Director, Women Arise for Change Initiative, Mrs Joe Okei-Odumakin, said the security agencies had so far displayed the highest level of professionalism in their coverage of the exercise.

Okei-Odumakin also commended the turnout of voters during the poll, describing it as ” massive”.

“It was a massive turnout of voters. It is relatively calm. The election started early. The security agencies have so far displayed highest level of professionalism and we still want them to remain transparent,” she said.

According to Okei- Odumaki, 100 observers have been deployed to the 30 local government areas of the state to monitor the poll.

‘’I have also personally gone to Ede, Modakeke, Iragbiji and I am in Ife now,” she said.

She stated that the poll has so far been conducted peacefully and there has been no report on election materials shortages.
