The council described the incitement and threats against Accord members and their families as “despicable” and condemned them in the strongest terms.
The Imole Campaign Council (TICC), the campaign organisation of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi over an alleged threat to kill members and supporters of the Accord Party in Ijeshaland ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
The campaign council made the demand in a statement issued on Tuesday, signed by its Chairman, Media and Publicity, Rep. Bamidele Salam.
The council said it was “gravely alarmed and disturbed” by a trending video allegedly showing Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East Senatorial District, inciting members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to attack or kill members and supporters of the Accord Party wherever they are found in Ijeshaland.
According to the campaign council, the video had been confirmed by several individuals and corroborated information it had gathered over the past few weeks concerning the movement of suspected thugs, hoodlums and individuals posing as police officers into Ilase, the senator’s hometown, as well as other communities across Obokun, Oriade, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Atakumosa East and Atakumosa West local government areas.
