The group called for the finalization of pending reforms to restore confidence in elections, particularly emphasizing the upcoming governorship elections in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun states. Odo highlighted the threats of systemic corruption and governance failures to Nigeria's democratic consolidation.
The Situation Room also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deliver free, fair, and credible polls in 2027.
