Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has urged residents to take part in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Continuous Voters’ Registration (CVR) exercise.
The Governor, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Monday, in Osogbo, described the exercise as a vital civic responsibility and urged eligible voters to seize the opportunity to register.
Adeleke stressed the importance of the exercise, particularly for those who have just attained voting age, as well as citizens who may have misplaced their voter cards.

“We all must exercise our voting right to sustain a listening and responsive administration in the state,” Adeleke said.
He further encouraged Osun indigenes residing outside the state to transfer their voter cards, adding that collective participation was necessary to ensure continuity of people-focused leadership.
“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,” he stated.
Adeleke also warned against attempts to subvert the electoral process.
“We must be getting ready to stop electoral robbers if they ever attempt to thwart electoral wills of the people,” he cautioned.
The Governor directed state officials and community leaders across local governments to mobilise residents, while expressing confidence that INEC would conduct a seamless exercise.
