Osun's Accord coalition is demanding the immediate arrest and prosecution of Osun East senator, Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, following a viral campaign video where he was recorded urging All Progressives Congress members to kill fellow party members. The party asserts that Fadahunsi's inflammatory remarks confirm that APC members and supporters are facing political violence, harassment, and intimidation by thugs allied with the party and state law enforcement.
In a statement, Accord's National Publicity Secretary, Joseph Omorogbe, condemned the senator's actions as "unjust and unacceptable" days before the gubernatorial election.

The coalition also calls for the immediate release of over sixty Accord party members who were allegedly unlawfully arrested in Abuja and Nasarawa State.
