Nigerian businessman and internet personality Isaac Fayose has raised concerns over rising political thuggery ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
His reaction followed a video shared by Afrobeats star Davido showing the arrest of suspected political thugs allegedly linked to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The video reportedly captured about 11 suspects being conveyed in an APC campaign vehicle before their arrest.
Reacting on his Facebook page, Fayose voiced alarm over the security situation in Osun, warning that it could be a sign of worse trouble ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He wrote, “I hope you all are seeing APC’s desperation in Osun. They have flooded the state with all kinds of thugs. We are in trouble.
“APC wants to win by force, and so they brought thugs to the state. We are in trouble in 2027. If you think we are okay, we are not.
“This APC desperation does not have part two. Nigerians, you must arise and take your country back. This is definitely not the country you want.”
Accusations Fly Between APC, Accord Party
The APC and the Accord Party, the two leading contenders in Saturday’s election, have continued to trade accusations over alleged attacks and violent incidents recorded in various parts of Osun State as the poll approaches.
