“We Will Kill Them” — Senator Fadahunsi Threatens Accord Members
Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, has stirred controversy ahead of the August 15 governorship election after allegedly threatening members of the Accord Party in Ilesha.
Fadahunsi, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, made the statement while addressing supporters in Yoruba during a gathering in Ilesha.
The senator warned his supporters that there would be trouble if members of the Accord Party were seen in the area.
He also encouraged those present to record his remarks as he spoke about the period leading up to the election.

“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 remark comes as political parties intensify their campaigns and mobilisation across Osun State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
Fadahunsi’s comments have raised concerns over the possibility of political violence during the final days of the election campaign, particularly as supporters of different parties prepare for the poll.
Political leaders and supporters are expected to exercise restraint and allow voters to participate without intimidation or threats as the state approaches election day.
Fadahunsi currently represents Osun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
