The governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has appealed to the indigenes and residents of the state to participate actively in the continuous voters’ registration exercise.
Speaking via a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Monday, Adeleke asserted that the exercise, which begins on Monday, is a critical civic responsibility.
Adeleke noted the importance of registration for those who recently entered voting age and saying all eligible voters must ensure they are duly captured in the voters’ register.
Describing the 2026 governorship election as pivotal to the sustainable delivery of good governance in Osun state, the Governor called on voters who may have lost or misplaced their cards to get new ones, noting that “We all must exercise our voting right to sustain a listening and responsive administration in the state.”
He said, “I call on Osun residents outside the state to transfer their voting cards to the state and ensure mass participation for retention of people oriented leadership by August 2026. Our voting card is our weapon to prove that good governance is a possibility as Osun had been experiencing in the last two and half years.
“We must not only update our registration details, we should ensure we vote and protect our votes when the time comes. We must be getting ready to stop electoral robbers if they ever attempt to thwart electoral wills of the people.”
He charged all state officials and leaders of thought across the local governments to mobilise their people for the exercise, even as he expressed optimism that the electoral commission will conduct a seamless operation in the public interest.
