Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, has clarified his controversial “Kill Accord” comment, saying the remark was a political metaphor urging All Progressives Congress supporters to defeat the Accord Party at the ballot box.
Fadahunsi came under scrutiny after a video circulating on social media showed him speaking in Yoruba while accusing members of the Accord Party of attacking APC supporters and urging those at a gathering in Ilesa to confront Accord supporters.
The senator was also seen challenging those present to record his remarks and post them on social media.
The comments were reportedly made while Fadahunsi was addressing APC supporters in Ilesa ahead of the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
However, in a statement issued by his media office in Osogbo on Tuesday and titled, “Kill Osun Accord with Votes, Not Violence, Senator Fadahunsi Tells APC,” the senator said his remarks were not a call for physical violence.
