[quote author=snowland post=31975286]The National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, Gani Adams, said his group is opposed to a former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu and his party, the All Progressives Congress, because Mr. Tinubu instructed governors of the South-West states not to deal with or empower the OPC. Mr. Adams said this at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday in reaction to reports that his organization plans to disrupt the forthcoming general elections. He said while Mr. Tinubu plotted to destroy the OPC by denying it of government patronage, President Goodluck Jonathan has been magnanimous, awarding pipeline protection contracts to leaders of the organisation and other militants across the country. “Deliberately Tinubu instructed all the governors (South-west governors) don’t work with OPC, don’t empower OPC, don’t associate yourself with OPC,” Mr. Adams said. “Ask our people from the south west, if you threat us very well, why should we get an opportunity from your enemy? If you gave us jobs, if you empower us, we would turn down the offer from the federal government. Because you neglected us, you don’t want the organization to exist anymore. Mr Adams admitted that he, Frederick Faseun, and another militant leader from Ondo state were given multi billion naira contracts to protect pipelines, saying as Nigerians they have a right to share from the nation’s commonwealth. He said, “They alleged that some ethnic militia collected nine billion, what I know is that President Goodluck Jonathan gave us a contract to protect pipeline and in that pipeline contract, the analysis is that Nigeria is losing 1.3 trillion naira every year to vandals. And when you see how much they will pay us for a year, in six zones- we have three zones in south west, three in South-South. I have only one in South-West; Dr. Fasheun has one and another guy in Ondo has one. “The entire money NNPC will spend for us to protect the pipeline is not up to four billion for the six zones. You know what happened, they intentionally wrote the propaganda to affect the rally of last Monday, and at the same time, they haven’t given us a dime for the contract. President Jonathan has not given us money; we are just planning on how to start the job now. You cannot get money, it’s not a contract of buying something. “As a Nigerian, we have a right to share from the commonwealth and that does not mean they have induced us. Tinubu is the chairman of OandO, and it’s an oil company and hardly will you see any governor in Nigeria that does not have interest in oil business. Hardly will you see any that minister does not have interest in oil business. Look, the south-south has been benefiting from the Amnesty package from the past four or five years. We have never benefited from it.” The OPC leader described the All Progressive Congress as a party that strives on propaganda. The OPC leader said his organisation wants the country to move forward and has decided to support the re-election bid of President Jonathan. “We are not saying because we are supporting President Jonathan, we should be an enemy of other political parties. When you watch carefully, you will realize that nothing less than 23 political parties partially support President Goodluck Jonathan, so we are not here to harm any other political party,” he said. Speaking on the protest by the OPC for the removal of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s chair, Attahiru Jega, which many Nigerians, particularly the All Progressive Congress termed a violent protest, Mr. Adams described the APC as a party that thrives on propaganda. “We deliberately kept quiet for one week to make sure that they lied to the extent that we would come out to tell the world that 85 per cent information coming from the APC is fallacy. “You can’t win an election based on fallacy or propaganda and they have used their strength to concentrate on CCN protest rather than to go from house to house to campaign. “If you watched newspapers, you will see some parasites signing different press releases that Gani Adams should resign, you will see Shina Akinpelu, and then you see Monsuru Akande again, so you see the level of propaganda? We even investigated; the second press release was released from the state (Lagos) secretariat in Acme, coordinated by Ajomale. Why are they doing that? He maintained that the protest was not against Mr. Tinubu or the APC. “We did not protest against Tinubu or APC. Why are they supporting the wrongdoing of Jega? I think most of them are product of free and fair election of 1993, so we should upgrade the conduct of our election and what happened yesterday has justified our protest. “I don’t see why you should deny 19 per cent which is 12 million registered voters of their right to enfranchise. And if you recall, in the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the number of Nigerians who made the difference for MKO Abiola was 14 million. By the time you deny 12 million people the chance to exercise their right, certain signal is coming, but I’m appealing to Nigerians, they should not allow Jega to provoke them. Let us accept the faith but let the history run against Jega.” OPC not a threat to election Mr. Adams said his group is not a threat to the coming elections and was not sponsored by President Jonathan. “Well, we have witnessed 1999 election, we didn’t get involved in violence, we witnessed the 2003, we didn’t disrupt the election, 2007 same thing happened, 2011 same thing happened, why should we disrupt election,. “We challenge them, let them take the pictures to the police to investigate and identify those who destroyed that billboard. The picture that was first sent to the internet was a picture of an event held on eighth of December by Dr. Fredrick Fasheun. So I’m appealing to concentrate on how to win the election and the heart of the electorate and not to be concentrating to destroy the character of anybody who supports President Goodluck Jonathan “We have been funding our organization before election; you will realize that we have not less than 25 programs in a year. Who is funding those programs? Why should they insinuate that anything that comes from us because of our belief to support President Jonathan that it’s because of money?” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/179053-while-tinubu-starved-us-jonathan-gave-us-multibillion-naira-pipeline-contracts-gani- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152736420065095.1073742096.53829800094&type=1 |

dave2meek:A selected few who are not literate are making so much funds from this literate man. A very few militants are billionaires, a very few OPC members are billionaires. A large quantity of the citizens are suffering, they are going through hell, and then OPC comes here and tells me Tinubu starved them. wHO DA HELL IS TINUBU? WHO DA HELL IS OPC? WHY make a very few so rich when the billions can actually be used for proper developments where we all can benefit from? I am just tired of all this. You want to vote for GEJ, please vote for him, but think this through. For those who will vote for GEJ, know his promises, and when some very few are becoming richer, please and please, NEVER COMPLAIN. |

persius555:I know people like u are blind folded by little change you are making from your cctv business. Do you think I don't know you? You refuse to use your brain and see beyond suffering but it's abuse you result to even if you couldn't understand my points. I would have answered you intoto but you believe in development by mere typing and not action. Nations will always depend on themselves for growth and development but not the way Nigeria goes about her own, giving money and arms to rebels to secure waterways while our navy de do siddon look. Remember this was your post early this month. Now read my first post and compare it and see who to shut up. persius555: |

lagdmark:It's interesting to see that you are happy now, just wait till the whole plan goes awry and I will like to see you shine that your teeth again. By the time the yawa start, people will be running helter skelter, no one will be safe and these boys will not ask you if your are PDP or APC before they attack you. By then they will probably have more weapon than the police, they will start with the non indigenous people just like Boko Haram did, God dammit how can a whole president not see this despite its "obviousness" How can someone be so power hungry and greedy even at the risk of a nation's annihilation. |
