OpenLife News reports that the Senator representing Osun East Senatorial District, Francis Fadahunsi, has threatened members of the Accord Party with death, telling All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters in Ilesa, Osun State, that they should kill any Accord Party member they see between now and election day, Saturday, August 15.
Fadahunsi, who is an APC figure in Osun State, made the statement while addressing supporters in the Yoruba language in a video obtained by SaharaReporters.
In the video, Fadahunsi is heard telling his supporters that Accord Party members should be attacked if they are seen in the area before the election.
“If we hear of Accord Party again in Ilesa here for the election coming up on Saturday, you can record me and say it anywhere,” he said in the video.
“We have told you before that their cap looks jaundiced and they belong to animals. How many persons have APC supporters killed?”
He then questioned supporters about alleged killings involving members of the APC, before making the threat against members of the Accord Party.
“How many people have you seen APC killed or aren’t your people killed?” he asked.
“So we are here now to tell you that till the day of the election, if we see any Accord Party members, we’ll kill them.
“We cannot be watching.”
According to him, even if Accord Party members with PVCs want to vote on Saturday, they won’t be allowed to do so.
He also warned chiefs whom he accused of supporting the Accord Party.
He vowed that Ijesa land would not contain such chiefs and declared that, henceforth, it would be “an eye for an eye or an eye for anything.”
“We had taken Ijesa with levity before but now it’s time to let the Owa of Obokun know that he is the king of Obokun not APC or Accord but if some of his chiefs allow themselves to be used, Ijesa Land will not contain them. Henceforth, it is an eye for an eye or an eye for anything,” he said
He also issued further threats against the chiefs, warning that those found harbouring people he described as Accord Party supporters would face death.
Reacting, Afrobeats star David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has drawn public attention to the viral video involving Senator Fadahunsi.
The singer shared the video on Instagram on Tuesday, August 12, 2026, alongside a translated version of remarks attributed to the senator.
He remarked “This Is Unacceptable.”
