In the viral video, about 11 suspected thugs being conveyed by an APC campaign vehicle were reportedly arrested.

The development has heightened security concerns in the state, where reports of attacks and killings have continued to emerge ahead of the election.

Reacting to the video, Fayose expressed worries over the political situation in Osun, stating that Nigeria is in trouble.

Fayose also warned that the country could face serious challenges ahead of the 2027 general elections, citing the disturbing security situation in Osun State.

He said, “I hope you all are seeing APC’s respiration 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.”

MEDIA TODAY reports that the two major political parties participating in the election, the APC and the Accord Party, have been trading accusations over alleged attacks and violence in different parts of the state.
