PRESS STATEMENT BY THE NATIONAL COORDINATING
COUNCIL OF THE OODUA PEOPLES CONGRESS (OPC) ON THE RECENT
VIOLENT PROTESTS BY GANI ADAMS CALLING FOR JEGA’S
REMOVAL. GANI ADAMS HAS BETRAYED US AND THE YORUBA PEOPLE

We, the members of the National Coordinating
Council of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, the highest
ruling body of the organization, wish to disassociate
ourselves from the shameful, destructive, violent and
reactionary activities of the Gani Adam-led team which
occurred in Lagos today. What was witnessed today in Lagos
was the highest level of political violence sponsored and
funded by certain elements in the Jonathan government.
Gani Adams is on his own and does not enjoy the support of a
large size of our membership spread across the country. He
is working for the sponsors of violence against our people
who want the March 28 elections not to hold. Unleashing
terror on innocent citizens and killing them is not the way
of democracy. It is not our idea of a people-oriented advocacy.
Gani Adams is on dubious project. He is using the Pipleline
contract from the Jonathan government as a ploy or excuse to
recruit people to work for Jonathan and PDP in the South
West. Gani Adams is acting against Yoruba interest. The
compromises he has made amounts to selling the Yoruba to the
present government for a piece of Pipeline contract to line
his pockets. OPC is not about Pipleline contracts or any
other contracts for that matter. The Yoruba interest is
beyond contracts. We seek justice and fairness from the
current government.
We, members of the National Coordinating Council of the Odua
People’s Congress, OPC, call all true Yoruba leaders, sons
and daughters to stand with us in totally condemning Gani
and his anti-democratic tendencies. We must renounce him and
remind him he cannot sell the Yoruba race to Jonathan and
PDP on the cheap. He also has no authority to speak on
behalf of the Yoruba people. We pity those who rely on him
to win votes. They will be sorely disappointed. Their
investment is a bad one already. We reject today and always
any attempt to use our organization and its members for
narrow and selfish partisan purporses.
We must remind them that the Yoruba people cannot be
hoodwinked by sweeteners. No one should expect them to kow
tow to an individual who is a Lilliputian in the political
development and history of the Yoruba nation. The Yorubas
are a politically sophisticated persons and will simply
ignore political opportunists like Gani Adams. We renounce
him and his activities which are against the larger Yoruba
interest. We renounce all other Yoruba sons and daughters
who are playing roles inimical to the welfare and interest
the larger Yoruba nation.
We call on our people to be vigilant politically at this
time. Nigeria needs a new leadership, a new direction and a
country that works.Comrade Shina Akinpelu

Mogidi:
There's only one OPC.

OPC is Gani Adams as much as Gani Adams is OPC.

a country where a group of hoodlums like opc becomes a recognised entity is pathetic, if after th election the same set of people turns to another version of boko haram, many will turn around to blame Buhari or the opposition for it.

When ACN used them to their advantage it was ok?
You could say this to one of Buhari's cows and it would probably take it hook, line sinker. You're in a discernible environment here, lies like the one above won't cut it here.
