#OsunDecides2026: APC senator Fadahunsi tells supporters to monitor voters’ choices

Osun East Senatorial District representative Francis Fadahunsi, a member of the APC, has instructed supporters at his polling station in Ilase-Ijesa to keep an eye on the voters' selections during the Osun State gubernatorial election held on Saturday. Footage circulating on social media earlier showcased the APC official addressing constituents at Polling Unit 1, NUD Primary School, which also functions as a collation center in the locality.

In Yoruba, Fadahunsi was heard urging those present to observe the individuals whose names people are thumbprinting. He warned that anyone who votes for someone they are not authorized to vote for is not a genuine inhabitant of Ijesa in Ilase. Earlier, PUNCH Online reported that Fadahunsi faced criticism on Tuesday after a video surfaced allegedly containing threats against members of the Accord Party ahead of Saturday's gubernatorial election.

He was subsequently questioned and released by the police on Wednesday following the incident. Fadahunsi's latest remarks at the polling site come amidst the ongoing gubernatorial election across Osun State.
