The senator representing Osun East Senatorial District, Francis Fadahunsi, and the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo Otin Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections, Francis Eniade, came under fire on Tuesday for issuing a threat against the Accord members ahead of Saturday’s governorship poll.
In a video that circulated on social media on Tuesday, Fadahunsi, who spoke in the Yoruba language, threatened to deal with an Accord member sighted in Ilesha, Osun State, before Saturday.
Sources at the scene where Fadahunsi made the controversial speech told The PUNCH that the lawmaker spoke at the palace of the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland in Ilesa during a protest organised over the alleged killing of three members of the All Progressives Congress in Ilesa on Tuesday.
Speaking in Yoruba language, Fadahunsi said, “How many people have you seen the APC kill? We are here to tell you that until the day of the election, if we see any Accord member in Ilesa, we will kill him.”
In another viral video also obtained on Tuesday, Eniade, who was also addressing a campaign rally, said no Accord member should come out to vote in Odo Otin Local Government Area on the day of the election.
