OSUN GUBER: HON. ELEGE URGES VOTERS TO VOTE WISELY, SHUN VIOLENCE, REJECT FAKE NEWS

Leading ADP Candidate for Ona Ara Constituency Calls for Peace, Truth and Credible Electoral Process

According to him, elections should never be treated as a war or an avenue for spreading unverified information.

“Every stakeholder must intentionally pursue anything that guarantees a peaceful, freer and fairer process today in Osun State. Election is not war. Please desist from the urge to ‘break’ the news without facts. There is no trophy or award for rushing fake results.”

He particularly urged journalists, bloggers and media organizations to prioritize verification over virality, stressing that unverified election information can create unnecessary tension and confusion.

“Intentionality must be deposited towards verifying everything you are sharing as news or information. You have a responsibility like everyone else. Kindly do yours and let’s hold others accountable to do theirs.”

Hon. ELEGE further encouraged the people of Osun State to remain calm, vigilant and law-abiding, while urging voters to protect their votes through peaceful and lawful participation.

“Today’s result, under a free, fair and organized process, must define what the people want. Above all else, kindly vote, stay safe, and go home peacefully if you have any doubt at all.”

The ELEGE Visionary Team reaffirmed its commitment to issue-based politics, democratic accountability, peaceful engagement and people-oriented leadership, emphasizing that the lessons from the Osun election will be significant as Nigeria approaches the 2027 electoral cycle.
