The Oodua People’s Congress said it would pull out its men from guarding all Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation pipelines nationwide from Monday evening.
Spokesman for Gani Adams Faction of the congress, Mr. Yinka Oguntimehin, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Monday.
Oguntimehin said this became necessary because the corporation had yet to start paying for the work its men are doing.
He said the corporation was, as part of the contractual agreement entered into, three months ago, expected to start payment.
The spokesman said the OPC personnel had continued to guard the pipelines with the belief that the corporation would pay as promised.
“When we were given the contract on March 15, it was agreed that they will release money for the OPC personnel for effective protection of the NNPC pipelines nationwide.
“We lost one man last month because of the activities of the vandals here in Lagos, while some of our men were arrested in the course of protecting the pipeline.
“We had told them to release some of our money before the new administration took over, but they kept promising us.
“Enough is enough, three months have passed since our members started monitoring the pipeline, and we have fulfilled our part of the agreement.
“By 10pm today, our personnel will move out of the NNPC pipelines nationwide and this applies to other groups in the country,” he said.
The federal government had, in March, awarded a multi-billion Naira contract to the OPC to secure NNPC pipelines in the South-West zone of the country. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Mr. Adams, game is over!. It is a pity you never understood the game. They used you and your boys for elections rigging. They lost elections. What else???
ReplyDeleteI pray you learn a useful lesson from this for your future.
Gani, i pity you. Are you a police, soldier or navy? Opc has lost focus and no longer relevant. The love of money,,corruption & politics has taken over opc.
ReplyDeleteMr Gani is a brute, used and dumped. The river that forgets it source will definitely dry.
ReplyDeleteAdamu or Gani, whatever you called yourself, in your right senses what you are doing is it permitted in a sane society ?
ReplyDeleteWho trained you as a security outfit. Or are you a fool.
Where does the government gets money to pay our Police, airforce, navy and army, oh they should sit down and be paid free without doing their work. I cant just get it.
It is sad that Gej government could descend so low and accept you and your group to over see our installations and oil pipelines across the nation.
Oh was that why OPC was formed.
Me think you, your group and Dr. Faseun burry your heads in total shame.
Gani, please don't breach the contract, if you are done, please go back to NNPC and follow due process to terminate the contract. Don't give room to the devil. D4C
