Osun Senator Accused of Inciting Violence Against Accord Party Members Ahead of Election

An Osun senator has drawn criticism after allegedly urging supporters to attack members of the Accord Party ahead of Saturday’s governorship election. A video shared by singer Davido shows a man addressing supporters in Yoruba. Davido’s English translation alleges that the speaker called for violence against Accord Party members and said they should be prevented from voting. The remarks have raised fresh concerns about voter intimidation and political violence as Osun residents prepare to vote. Security agencies and election stakeholders have repeatedly urged political actors and their supporters to keep the process peaceful. The identity of the speaker, the accuracy of the translation and the full context of the video should be independently verified.
