However, when asked about the alleged group and why he would establish it while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Fadahunsi rejected the claims.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain denied calling for the killing of political opponents, stressing that he opposed political violence and intimidation.
He said, “Which group? How will I rent somebody’s house and make it a terrorist house? I didn’t make my house in the village; I didn’t make my house in the town. Have I ever killed anybody? Where is the killer squad?”
“I did not say they should be killed. Whether Accord or PDP or APC, they are all my constituents; they are all my members. They know what they are doing.
“I don’t preach violence, but when it is hot, I will tell them, ‘Enough of killing.’ He should leave my people alone.”
Fadahunsi also described the viral video on ‘kill Accord Party members’ as a manipulated recording and accused political opponents of trying to portray him as supporting violence.

A bitter leadership feud has erupted within the Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, over the vacant Awujale stool. The Grand Council of the ruling house on Wednesday passed a decisive vote of confidence in its executives—Chairman Abdulateef Owoyemi, Deputy Chairman Oladokun Ajidagba, and Vice Chairman Prof. Fassy Yusuf—firmly rejecting their purported removal announced by a rival faction on Sunday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The ouster attempt stemmed from allegations of financial inducement and irregularities in the selection process for the new Awujale. However, speaking on behalf of the family, Owoyemi dismissed the rival group as “impostors” and their investigative committee as a “kangaroo” setup lacking any authority. He asserted that the leadership was established through a unified reconciliation process facilitated by the state government.
The Grand Council has threatened legal action for defamation against the rival members, accusing them of acting out a script designed to sabotage the ruling house’s entitlement to the throne. Furthermore, the Council has appealed to Governor Dapo Abiodun to lift the prolonged suspension on the Awujale selection process, arguing that the delay is fueling internal discord.
In response, Adeyemo Oduneye, secretary of the rival fact-finding committee, defended his group’s actions, insisting they represent the broader family consensus to restore integrity to the selection process. He welcomed the prospect of litigation, stating it would be the best forum to resolve the dispute. The Awujale stool has been vacant since the passing of Oba Sikiru Adetona in July 2025, with the selection process halted by the state government in January 2026 amid numerous petitions.
