Osun Election: ‘Eliminate any Accord member you see’ — Fadahunsi tells supporters

The lawmaker representing Osun East Senatorial District, Francis Fadahunsi, has been captured in a video allegedly directing his supporters to kill members of the Accord Party ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election in the state.

 

The video was shared by Afrobeats star, Davido, on his verified X handle on Tuesday.

 

In the video, Fadahunsi was heard speaking in Yoruba and allegedly telling his supporters to attack Accord members they encounter before the election.

 

He said, “What kind of life is that? If we hear anything about Accord in Ilesa here, record me and go and tell them.

 

“When we tell them the cap they are putting on is a bad one, a yellow one. So, we have come to tell you now, from now till the election day, if we see them, kill them o.”

 

The alleged comment came days before voters in Osun State are scheduled to elect a governor amid heightened political tension ahead of the poll.

 

At the time of filing this report, Fadahunsi had neither publicly withdrawn the remark nor issued a clarification on the video.

 

Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party, is an uncle to Davido.
