Nigerian human right lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has called for free and fair election as Edo State prepares for its upcoming governorship election, scheduled for 21st, September.
In a statement via his official Facebook handle on Tuesday said charged the Independent Electoral Commission to prioritize the people’s interest and conduct a free, fair, and credible poll.
“I also call on the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to remain loyal to the people, rather than serving the interests of politicians. Neutrality and professionalism are crucial in ensuring a peaceful electoral process.
He condemned the reported plots by the ruling APC to exploit presidential powers to influence the election outcome.
“Such actions undermine democracy and subvert the will of the Edo people.
The people of Edo State deserve to choose their leaders without interference or manipulation.”
