lagos—NATIONAL Co-ordinator of the Oodua
Peoples Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams,
yesterday, said that six million members of the
group have resolved to vote for President Goodluck
Jonathan at the March 28 presidential polls.
He
said OPC members took the decision at their
National Co-ordinating Council meeting after taking
time to assess President Goodluck Jonathan of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Major Gen
Muhammadu Buhari (retd) of the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
He made the disclosure at his Lagos residence while
hosting Special Adviser to President Jonathan on
Niger Delta Affairs, Hon Kingsley Kuku, who came to
solicit his and OPC’s support for Jonathan’s re-
election.
Adams said OPC is rooting for Jonathan because of
his human rights records in not arresting or
detaining any activist since he came to power,
convocation of national conference and promise to
implement the 633 recommendations that will help
to restructure the country, which he said is in the
interest of the Yoruba and South-west.
He said: ‘’OPC is a group of six million people. We
sat down at our National Co-ordinating Council to
decide on who to vote for between President
Jonathan and Buhari and the support for Jonathan is
unanimous.”
”Now, we have come out to support Jonathan
because of the National Conference. We have been
clamouring for National Conference since 1992,
even our leaders could not organise it. President
Olusegun Obasanjo organised the National Political
Reforms Conference with a lot of no-go areas. In the
end there was a stalemate. ”Now a minority,
Jonathan, did it. The only no-go area is the unity of
the country. He gave us open cheque to decide the
future of Nigeria.”
