Osun East Senatorial District Senator, Femi Fadahunsi, has accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of bringing political violence and terrorism to the region ahead of the upcoming governorship election. Fadahunsi claims that more than 40 people have been killed in the district over the past year, with 30 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) being killed within the last month.
He alleges that the violence was orchestrated by Adeleke to intimidate opposition supporters and hinder them from voting. Fadahunsi also pointed to several incidents of violence in Ijesa land, including the deaths of four people and 16 gunshot injuries during a local government administration control crisis in Esa-Oke in April 2025.
He accuses unnamed government officials and political allies of being behind these incidents, claiming they are linked to political interests in the area. The senator further alleges that cult groups have been used to perpetrate violence in Ijesa land, with four people killed in Ilesa during a local government control crisis. Fadahunsi urges security agencies and traditional rulers to prevent intimidation of voters and ensure a free and fair election, predicting that Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji will win the governorship race.
