In a post shared by @davido on Instagram, Afrobeats star David Adeleke amplified a viral video showing Senator Francis Ade Fadahunsi allegedly issuing violent threats against Accord Party supporters ahead of the Osun governorship election. The singer uploaded a translation of the senator’s Yoruba remarks alongside the original footage to highlight what he described as an elected official openly sanctioning harm against political opponents.
The incident has ignited heavy discussion across social media, with fans and civic observers questioning the response from law enforcement. Davido tagged his commentary with campaign hashtags, signaling his continued involvement in political developments in his home state.
Reporting on the fallout, *Legit.ng* noted that “the musician tagged the post with the hashtag #Osundecides, drawing attention to the Osun state election scheduled for Saturday”. Concurrently, *Naija News* on its web portal verified that “Adeleke also condemned a viral video allegedly showing a serving senator, Francis Fadahunsi, calling for the killing of Accord Party leaders”.
**Echotitbits take:** High-profile celebrity interventions in state politics can significantly amplify youth voter awareness, but public allegations of violence also heighten political tension. As security agencies assess the footage, observers should watch for official statements from the Police Force and the National Assembly regarding conduct standards during high-stakes election cycles.
