A video allegedly showing an Osun senator making a call for violence against members of the Accord Party has sparked widespread reactions ahead of the state’s governorship election.

The video was shared online by Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, who identified the speaker as a serving senator and provided an English translation of the remarks.

According to the translation shared by Davido, the lawmaker allegedly told supporters to attack Accord Party members whenever they encountered them, including a statement interpreted as a directive to “kill them.”

The senator was also allegedly heard warning that Accord supporters would not be allowed to vote on election day, even if they presented valid Permanent Voter Cards.

The remarks were reportedly made in Yoruba while the lawmaker addressed supporters in Ilesa, Osun State, as political activities intensify ahead of the election.

The alleged statement has generated concern among residents and political observers, particularly because it came at a time when stakeholders have repeatedly called for peaceful campaigns and a violence-free electoral process.

However, the authenticity, context and full meaning of the video and its translation have not been independently verified.

The development comes amid heightened political tension in Osun, with rival political camps exchanging accusations as the election approaches.

Security agencies and other stakeholders are expected to remain vigilant and ensure that political disagreements do not escalate into violence during the election period.
