Obi said the comments were particularly troubling given the proximity of the election and the responsibility of political leaders to promote peace and democratic participation. “As a high-ranking lawmaker representing the people in the National Assembly, Senator Fadahunsi carries a solemn constitutional and moral responsibility to promote peace, uphold democratic norms, and foster unity. Obi therefore called on Fadahunsi to withdraw the alleged comments and apologise to the people of Osun State. “I therefore respectfully demand that Senator Fadahunsi retract these harmful statements and tender an apology to the peaceful people of Osun State.” Obi urged residents of Osun State to remain calm and peaceful while exercising their constitutional right to vote.
