Osun Poll: Police Begin Route March as INEC Distributes Materials

The Osun poll has entered its final stage as police officers conducted a route march across Osogbo, the state capital, on Friday ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.

The Nigeria Police Force organised the exercise to strengthen security before, during and after the election. Armed and unarmed officers marched through major roads and other parts of the city.

Meanwhile, the police have deployed officers to strategic locations across Osun State. The deployment aims to prevent violence and maintain law and order throughout the election.

Also, the route march demonstrated the readiness of the security agencies to protect voters, electoral officials and other stakeholders during the poll.

As political activities intensify, residents across the state are preparing to elect the next governor of Osun State on Saturday.

At the same time, the Independent National Electoral Commission has started distributing non-sensitive electoral materials in Osogbo.

INEC began the distribution at its Osogbo Local Government Area office on Ilobu Road on Friday. According to the commission, the exercise will help ensure that electoral materials reach polling locations ahead of the election.

In addition, INEC and security agencies are completing their final preparations for the poll. Their efforts focus on ensuring a smooth voting process and maintaining security across the state.

With voting scheduled for Saturday, authorities have urged stakeholders to support a peaceful election. Voters across Osun State will head to the polls as security agencies increase their presence and INEC completes the distribution of electoral materials.
