Osun poll: Accord seeks EU intervention over alleged attacks, tension

The Accord Party in Osun State has called for European Union intervention to address escalating political tension ahead of the governorship election. In a letter to the EU Ambassador and Head of Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, the party cited alleged attacks, arrests, and intimidation of its members, as well as a viral video where Senator Francis Fadahunsi called for the killing of Accord members.

The party's concerns over alleged political violence, intimidation, and harassment have heightened fears among its members and supporters, potentially weakening their ability to participate effectively in the electoral process. The party also raised concerns over the arrests of 60 Accord members and supporters, the freezing of the state government's bank accounts, and the selective involvement of federal law-enforcement agencies in the political environment.
