Osun poll: Adeleke campaign urges IG to act over Fadahunsi’s inciting comment

The campaign team of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has requested Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu to investigate and take action following Senator Francis Fadahunsi's inciting comment against the Accord Party on a viral video. Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, made the remarks during an August 15, 2026, governorship election campaign in Ilesa.

The video shows the senator accusing Accord Party members of attacking APC members and daring attendees to record and share his speech on social media. Adeleke's campaign spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, emphasized that the statement poses a threat to the peaceful election and called for immediate police intervention. Fadahunsi clarified that his comment was metaphorical and political, urging supporters to reject the Accord Party in the election through lawful and democratic means.
