The National Leader of the Oodua People’s Congress, Otunba Gani Adams, has said the decision to establish the Oodua Progressives Union, OPU, was based on the need to sustain the Yoruba identity.
Adams, who spoke in Istanbul, Turkey, on Friday night, said the OPU was not a self-determination group but a socio-cultural organi-sation.
He spoke at a dinner party in his honour by the Turkey branch of the OPU.
He said Yoruba people all over the world must have a sense of belonging and identify with their roots all the time.
Adams equally advised Yoruba people in the Diaspora to cultivate the attitude of returning home to invest and prepare for their journey back home.
He said: “Come back home and invest. Build houses in Nigeria. You do not know when you will want to seek elective positions back home. Get to know your people at home. Come back home to invest. Contribute to the development of Nigeria.
“Let it not be that it is when you need to seek elective positions that you will run back home and start running helter-skelter. Let your people know you. Things are not as bad as you read out here. Things are moving fast and getting better in Nigeria. Come back home and invest,” he pleaded.. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
