Ahead of Saturday's gubernatorial election in Osun State, Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has expressed concern over rising political violence in the region. According to DAILY POST, Afrobeat artist David Adeleke, known as Davido, posted a video on Thursday allegedly depicting the arrest of alleged political thugs affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The footage showed 11 suspected thugs being transported in an APC campaign vehicle. This development has raised security concerns in Osun, a state where reports of attacks and killings have been frequent in the lead-up to the election. Fayose, reacting to the video, warned that Nigeria is in trouble and predicted potential challenges in the 2027 general elections due to the concerning security situation in Osun.
He stated, "I hope you all are seeing APC's respiration in Osun. They have flooded the state with all kinds of thugs. We are in trouble." Both major political parties, the APC and the Accord Party, have been exchanging accusations of attacks and violence in various parts of the state. Fayose called on Nigerians to take back their country, asserting that the current situation is not the one they desire.
