PDP Demands Peaceful Elections Amid Threats in Osun State
The Interim National Working Committee (INWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a warning that only a peaceful and transparent governorship election in Osun State on Saturday will be acceptable to Nigerians. The party expressed "tremendous shock" over a viral video in which Senator Francis Fadahunsi allegedly threatened to kill opposition voters, stating, "if we see them, it is killing." The PDP, represented by National Publicity Secretary Comrade Ini Ememobong, criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) for normalizing violent rhetoric in politics.
The INWC urged President Bola Tinubu and the APC to ensure that eligible voters can participate without fear of intimidation. They called for an immediate investigation into Fadahunsi's threats and emphasized the need for civility in political discourse, asserting that elections should reflect the will of the people.
The PDP's demands aim to uphold democracy and ensure a fair electoral process in Osun State.
