The Action Peoples Party (APP) in Osun State has petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to fortify its digital infrastructure before the August 15 governorship election. Chairman Odesola Oluseye Titus released a statement on Sunday emphasizing that the electoral body must prevent unauthorized interference and potential fraud within its technological systems.
Specifically, the party advocated for the thorough authentication of the voter registry and the reliable operation of card readers. The APP argues that proactive measures are necessary to stop data tampering. This appeal stems from concerns raised by Osun residents regarding technical inconsistencies observed during the recent Ekiti State governorship election.
Titus asserted that the party and the public will remain watchful. He warned that any attempts to influence the August 15 results through digital manipulation or voter disenfranchisement would face significant resistance. The APP concluded by calling on INEC to ensure the upcoming poll remains transparent and maintains high standards of democratic integrity.
