The late Dr Frederick Fasehun faction of the O’odua People’s Congress (OPC) on Saturday declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

The ​‌‍‍‍‍⁠⁠‌‍​‌⁠⁠​⁠‍‌​group made the declaration in Lagos on Saturday at the celebration of its 32nd Founders Day and inauguration of a new National Executive Council (NEC).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that OPC was founded on Aug. 29, 1994, and was established by a group of Yoruba nationalists and activists, led by medical doctor and human rights activist, Dr Frederick Fasehun.

Speaking at the event, the OPC’s re-elected President, Mr Wasiu Afolabi, promised that the group would work for the President the same way they did for his first shot at the presidency in 2023.

He said: “We contributed our quota to ensuring the victory of Tinubu in 2023. One lesson from Fasehun is that the organisation should regard any Yoruba man in office as OPC’s corporate project.

“As a result of this orientation that our founder gave us, and if the right atmosphere is created, we shall still queue behind President Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election.

“We also urge the other regions to support the President’s second-term bid to help him perfect the visionary reforms he has embarked upon.

“The North especially, should realise that it is payback time for the backing that Tinubu gave to late President Muhammadu Buhari’s two tenures of eight years.”

Afolabi recalled the national crisis that brought about the formation of OPC in August 1994, saying that “Some 32 years ago when Dr. Frederick Fasehun took the initiative to establish OPC, it was to fulfil a divine assignment. OPC was born as a child of necessity.”

Afolabi said the June 12 mandate of late Chief Moshood Abiola was stolen by the military government, which was not only an insult to the eight million Nigerian voters, who had given that mandate to MKO but especially a direct insult to the over 40 million-strong Yoruba race.

Afolabi urged the president, governors, and all national and federal legislators to promote policies, programmes and projects that would tackle the prevailing issues and challenges in Nigeria as a matter of national emergency.

“The leaders must remember that the Nigerian Constitution they all swore to uphold says in Section 14(2)(b) that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government,” he said.

Afolabi also offered the assistance of OPC toward solving the “monster problem of insecurity,” saying: “We are ready to partner with relevant government agencies to secure the South-West from enemies within and enemies from outside.”

Concerning the 2027 elections, he urged the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies to maintain a neutral role and ensure that the vote of every voting Nigerian counts.

Also speaking, Chairman of the occasion, Mr Wale Oshun, said the group remained a foremost legacy organisation in Nigeria’s struggle for democracy after the military annulled the June 12, 1993 election of Late M.K.O. Abiola.

Oshun, who heads OPC’s Board of Trustees, said that it is a glowing tribute to the founder, Dr. Fasehun’s vision that the organisation had continued to thrive, eight years after the leader died.

NAN reports that hundreds of members of the group were on ground to celebrate its 32nd anniversary and to also endorse Tinubu’s second tenure.

PBAT 2027 victory is 💯% assured.

2027 INEC should not waste time and resources conducting presidential election. According to majority of Nigerians voters INEC should declare TINUBU as president elect

Biafra or Kpaith but when Obi is on the ballot Biafra is forgotten and pending and only to be resurrected after Obi is resoundly beaten by Tinubu next year's. So, after Tinubu 8 years , we can resume secession. Two can play the game

Right step in the right direction

Now they are for one Nigeria not oduduwa nation again.

Hypercritical humans from that end.

After 2027 they will bring back amatakun and oduduwa nation again while they are scared of Biafra standing because of oil and gas.

Fake lovers of Nigeria.

It is the demonic akara peoples Congress APC vs Nigerians in 2027

We mount OK!

Who is Peter? Oh, the one who took advice from a mad man. The one who diverted public funds to Christian mission hospitals while he left public hospitals unfunded and doctors unpaid; all for for a worthless knighthood. The one who kept State funds in a bank in which he had substantial stock holding instead of building public infrastructure.....and the list goes on.
