A Senator from Osun sparked controversy by allegedly urging supporters to kill members of the Accord Party ahead of the governorship election, as reported by Davido, an Afrobeat singer. The remarks were made in a video shared by Davido, who provided an English translation of the senator's statements. According to the translation, the senator commanded, "From now on, whenever you see Accord members, kill them.
I authorize you to kill them. They have wives and children too." The senator also warned that even with voter cards, they will not be allowed to vote on election day. The alleged comments have raised concerns over political violence and intimidation in Osun, where rival political camps have been trading accusations ahead of the election.
