Prosecute Fadahunsi over remarks, Adeleke campaign spokesperson urges police

The Nigeria Police Force has been urged by the spokesperson for the Ademola Adeleke Governorship Campaign Council, Pelumi Olajengbesi, to investigate and prosecute Senator Francis Fadahunsi for remarks he made during the recent Osun State governorship election. These remarks, which criticized members of the Accord Party, generated public criticism and led to Fadahunsi's invitation for questioning, after which he was released without prosecution.

Olajengbesi expressed concern over the growing use of threats and inflammatory statements by political actors ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning that failure to respond appropriately could encourage others to adopt similar tactics. He called on political actors to persuade voters through their records and policies rather than threats or intimidation, emphasizing that words have consequences, especially when they come from influential political figures during an election.
