“We Will Kill Them” — Fadahunsi Warns Accord Members Ahead of Osun Election
Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi has come under scrutiny after making a threatening statement about members of the Accord Party ahead of the August 15 governorship election in Osun State.
Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, made the remarks while speaking to supporters in Ilesha.
Addressing the gathering in Yoruba, the Peoples Democratic Party senator warned that the presence of Accord Party members in the area could lead to trouble. He also asked those listening to record his statement.

“If we hear of Accord Party members coming to Ilesha, there will be trouble. We will all come out and vote. Please record me. We are here, and between now and the election, if we see anyone from the Accord Party, we will kill them,” he said.
The statement comes at a sensitive point in the Osun election campaign, with political parties conducting final rounds of mobilisation and seeking to consolidate support across the state.
Fadahunsi’s remarks have drawn attention to concerns about inflammatory political statements and the potential impact such comments could have on the atmosphere surrounding the election.
The senator’s warning also places renewed focus on the need for political actors and their supporters to avoid actions or statements that could provoke confrontation between rival groups.
The August 15 election is expected to attract significant political attention across Osun State as candidates and their supporters prepare for the final stage of the contest.
