Wednesday, August 12, 2026 - Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, has clarified his controversial “Kill Accord” comment, saying the remark was a political metaphor urging All Progressives Congress supporters to defeat the Accord Party at the ballot box.
On Monday, a video went viral showing Fadahunsi speaking in
Yoruba while accusing members of the Accord Party of attacking APC supporters
and urging those at a gathering in Ilesa to confront Accord supporters.
The senator was also seen challenging those present to film
him and post the videos on social media
‘’ “The cap
they wear – it is Yellow Fever cap; it is the cap of an animal. It is an animal
that k!lls. Have you ever heard that APC k!lled anyone? Are those being k!lled
not your people?. So, we have come to tell you, up till the day of the
election, if we see them, it is k!lling.” he said in Yoruba
Fadahunsi said this addressing APC supporters in Ilesa
ahead of the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
His comment sparked outrage online, with many, including
Governor Adeleke, calling for his arrest.
However, in an interview with Channels TV on Monday, August
11, Fadahunsi said his comment was taken out of context. According to him, he
asked his members to 'kill' Accord party members with their votes, and not
literally or fatally.
