  "account": "Osun East Senatorial District Representative, Francis Fadahunsi, addressed supporters at his polling unit in Ilase-Ijesa on Saturday ahead of the Osun State governorship election. In a video that went viral, Fadahunsi, speaking in Yoruba, urged supporters to monitor the choices made by voters. \"Be looking at who people thumbprint for,\" he instructed. \"Whoever votes for who he or she is not supposed to vote for is not a true indigene of Ijesa in Ilase.\" This came after Fadahunsi faced backlash on Tuesday for a video where he allegedly threatened members of the Accord Party ahead of the election. He was subsequently questioned by the police on Wednesday but was released. The Osun governorship election is currently ongoing across the state.",
