Co-convener, Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room, Mr James Ugochukwu made the call in Ado Ekiti during a pre-election press conference.
Mr Ugochukwu explained that if all the major actors do what is right during the poll, the election would be globally accepted and the nation would move forward.
He asked INEC to take steps to hold its offficials accountable for any violation of its guidelines.
Mr Ugochukwu commended INEC for the level of preparedness and smooth distribution of sensitive materials.
On security, the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room co-convener charged security agents to be proactive during by poll by protecting lives and property of electorate.
Mr Ugochukwu called on all political parties participating in the election to conduct themselves in a manner that devoid of violence and never engage in vote buying.
