Anyone against OPC’s N4b pipeline contract is an enemy of the Yoruba – Gani Adams

Gani Adams: 

National Coordinator of the Yoruba Socio-Cultural group, Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, Otunba Gani Adams, in this interview with VANGUARD reveals that his rusty relationship with the leader of All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was as a result of his resolve to free himself and his group from the servitude of the opposition.

He discloses how the leader of the party truncated the peace move brokered by Governor Aregbesola of Osun State; the pipeline contract President Jonathan awarded OPC. This interview was on the eve of the last Presidential election. Excerpts.

OPC is believed to be a social cultural organisation, but the recent rally organised by you in support of Jonathan shows that it has become partisan. Why is OPC delving into partisan politics?

Well, every human being is a political animal. Politics is everywhere even in your homes. If you have four children, there is possibility that two of them will support everything the father does while others will pitch their tent with the mother. That is politics within the family.

You also have politics with your community or in landlord associations, social clubs including your business ventures. We were only supporting a candidate without involving in what went on within the political parties. Here in my office, you cannot see anything reflecting PDP as a party. We also did not use the symbol of PDP, or that of any other party. I am a leader of Oodua People Congress and convener of Coalition of Concerned Nigerians and the Convener of Oodua Progressive Union in abroad as well as the Promoter of Olokun Festival Foundation and Chairman of Donyx Global Concept, all these are non-partisan organisations.

Why OPC is openly supporting Jonathan, Gani Adams reveals

Gani Adams, OPC National Leader

The National Coordinator, Oodua Peoples Congress, Chief Gani Adams, has explained the reason his militia group has been openly supporting President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid.

According to Adams, his open support for President Jonathan arises from the fact that aside from the fact that he has promised to implement the recommendations of the National Conference report, either the Presidency’s moves were political or not, he has been able to do what other government had not not done by empowering the group.

OPC members on rampage

ALERT! OPC members unleash terror on motorists with APC stickers in Lagos, demand Jega’s sack

Members of the Odua People’s Congress, OPC and the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation went on rampage in Lagos on Monday as they took to major roads in support of the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The OPC members, who gathered at the 7UP/Toll Gate end of the expressway, led other protesters, who were chanting anti-Jega songs, giving reasons why the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, should be sacked before the March 28 elections.
