OSOGBO — The presidential candidate of the Accord Party, Dr Gbenga Hashim, has warned political actors and supporters against inciting violence ahead of the Osun State governorship election scheduled for Saturday.
Hashim, in a statement, said those making inflammatory statements or encouraging violence could face legal consequences, urging all stakeholders to allow voters to exercise their franchise peacefully.
His warning followed reports of a comment allegedly made by Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, concerning members of the Accord Party ahead of the election.
Although Fadahunsi has reportedly denied making the statement attributed to him, the comment generated reactions across the country.
Hashim described alleged calls for violence during elections as unacceptable, stressing that political differences should not be allowed to threaten lives or undermine the electoral process.
