APC Senator Urges Supporters to Kill Accord Party Members
A Senator representing a district in Osun State has allegedly called on supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to kill members of the Accord Party in a video shared on social media by Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, known as Davido. This statement was made just days before the governorship election scheduled for August 15, where incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke is running for re-election under the Accord Party, while Bola Oyebamiji is the APC candidate aiming to unseat him.
In the video, the senator is heard saying, “From now on, whenever you see Accord members, kill them. I authorise you to kill them,” and further emphasized that even if Accord members come with voter cards, they should not be allowed to vote.
The remarks were made in Yoruba, and Davido provided an English translation, which included the senator's threats and comments about the Accord Party.
