The national coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC),
Gani Adams has accused former Lagos state governor and leader of the
All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, of supporting illegality
and trying to create confusion among the Yoruba nation.
the founder of the Oodua Progressive Union, OPU, said Mr Tinubu’s
continuous support of illegality, personal attack on him and persons he
perceived are getting popular and important than him would not make him a
Yoruba leader.
“Leader of which people? Tinubu doesn’t need to support
illegality, create confusion or bring the roof down if he desires such
position. Awolowo did not destroy any group before he became Yoruba
leader. If you are lucky to meet him Ikenne, he would sit with you for a
thorough discussion. Baba Ajasin did not destroy any group before he
became Yoruba leader; Baba Adesanya did not sponsor any group against
another before he became Yoruba leader. Rather, he was a rallying point
for every self-determination organisation. You did not need to have a
portfolio or be popular to see baba at his office in Lagos Island.”
Speaking further on the recent letter written to Tinubu by some
expelled OPC members stating their plans to displace Gani Adams as head
of the OPC, he said he has dragged both the expelled OPC members and
Tinubu to the court of public opinion.
“Who are the security agencies that Tinubu cannot buy. But public
opinion will drive the people who should act to do so. That is why we
spoke out. In countries where life matter, those individuals should not
be in circulation now.
“And you should understand why one is not letting this matter lie
low. How many high-profile political killings in this country have been
resolved? Bola Ige, Funsho Williams, Saka Saula, Marshall Harry…the
list is endless. Till date, nobody is in jail for these deaths
“Please ask him in because I personally want to know. This is not
the first time he is after me. Since 2001, most of the people that left
OPC were because they had Tinubu’s backing. He was behind Coalition of
Self Determination Group, among others. My point is this: If there are
those not comfortable in OPC, they are free to go and form their own
group, not try to forcefully overthrow a constituted authority. In the
South Africa struggle, it was not only ANC that was in existent, there
were more than 28.
“And it is sad that Tinubu is playing god because he wields
strong influence in Nigerian media. With the level he has attained in
his life, why is he after people like us. Am I in court to challenge
(Lagos Governor) Ambode’s victory? Or after the election, did I
instigate former President Jonathan to contest President Buhari’s
victory at the tribunal? Election has come and gone and we must move on
but some people are still angry because we refused to support their
candidate,
