  "summary": "Osun Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi has expressed support for Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election bid, citing his administration's achievements and commitment to welfare. According to Punch, Fadeyi backed Adeleke for a second term.\n\nGovernor Adeleke has defended the proposed Ede International Airport project, which has faced criticism over its cost and location. As reported by Punch Nigeria, Adeleke stated that being governor does not mean he should neglect his hometown, Ede, and that he wants it to be like \"small London.\" He listed several Osun towns where his administration has executed projects, claiming he has not neglected other parts of the state.\n\nThere has been controversy surrounding Senator Francis Fadahunsi's comments, with Daily Post Nigeria and Premium Times reporting that he allegedly called for the killing of Accord Party members and their families. According to TheCable, Fadahunsi later clarified that he meant \"kill Accord with votes, not violence.\" Governor Adeleke has condemned Fadahunsi's remarks, describing them as a national security threat, and called for his investigation and arrest, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.",
