Fadahunsi Clarifies 'Kill Accord' Comment Amid Controversy
Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East, clarified his controversial "Kill Accord" remark made during a gathering, which was perceived as inciting violence against Accord Party members. In a statement from his media office, Fadahunsi explained that his comment was intended as a metaphorical call for supporters to "kill" the Accord Party with votes in the upcoming August 15 governorship election, emphasizing lawful and peaceful means.
He urged All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters to maintain order and called on security operatives to protect voters' rights. Governor Ademola Adeleke responded by demanding Fadahunsi's immediate arrest and prosecution, accusing him of inciting violence against Accord Party members.
Adeleke expressed concern over the implications of such statements, urging the Inspector-General of Police to ensure legality in political conduct.
