Fadahunsi Says ‘Kill Accord’ Remark Meant Defeat the Party With Votes

Fadahunsi Says ‘Kill Accord’ Remark Meant Defeat the Party With Votes — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Senator Francis Fadahunsi of Osun East has clarified that his “kill Accord” remark was a political metaphor, not a call for violence against Accord Party supporters. A video from an APC gathering in Ilesa showed the senator speaking in Yoruba and urging supporters to confront the Accord Party. The clip drew criticism because the wording appeared to suggest violence ahead of the August 15 Osun governorship election. In a statement, Fadahunsi said he meant APC supporters should defeat the Accord Party through votes at the ballot box. He urged political actors, voters and security agencies to maintain peace and ensure a credible election free from intimidation.

The clarification matters, but public figures should still choose language that leaves less room for a violent interpretation.

Sharing the full video and a clear translation would help people assess the remark beyond headlines and competing claims.
