A coalition of Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, in Ondo State on Thursday berated political gladiators calling for the redeployment of the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola, ahead of the November 16 governorship election.
While speaking on the situation, the chairman of the coalition, Comrade Franklin Oloniju, expressed concern over the activities of some politicians and leaders in the state.
According to Oloniju: “We are particularly worried about the ongoing mobilisation against the person of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, of INEC in the state.
“It seems this mobilisation is being orchestrated to pre-empt the outcome of the election, disrupt the peaceful political atmosphere in the state, and as a way of instigating election violence, either during or after.
“This became more worrisome, especially when the call from these quarters has not ceased even when the electoral management body has swiftly responded to the removal call of the REC by the Oyo State governor.”
