Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has raised concerns over alleged political thuggery in Osun State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
Fayose reacted after Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, known as Davido, shared a video on Thursday purportedly showing the arrest of suspected political thugs linked to the All Progressives Congress.
The video reportedly showed about 11 suspects being conveyed in an APC campaign vehicle before their arrest.
The development has heightened security concerns in the state, where reports of attacks and killings have emerged ahead of the election.
Reacting to the video, Fayose alleged that the APC had brought thugs into Osun State in an attempt to win the election.
“I hope you all are seeing APC’s operation in Osun. They have flooded the state with all kinds of thugs. We are in trouble,” he said.
Fayose also said the situation in Osun raised concerns about the 2027 general elections.
“APC wants to win by force and so they brought thugs to the state,” he said. “We are in trouble in 2027.”
