The national coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Otunba Gani Adams has explained why the congress gave former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan its support in the run-off to the last presidential poll.
Speaking in Ile Ife during the second World Congress of Oodua Peoples Union, OPU, Otunba Adams also added that the fact that OPC worked for the success of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate during the election does not make the organisation a partisan one.
According to him, the position of OPC at the time was based on principle and the conviction that Dr. Jonathan was sincere about implementing the report of Confab where position of Yoruba people regarding some sensitive national issues was properly marshalled by the delegates.
His words: “Let me say it clearly that we supported the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan purely on principle of true federalism and towards the implementation of the outcome of 2014 National confab in Abuja, if he emerges as the president in 2015.”

Why do you have to explain Mr thug? It is your choice. I just hope you were not paid by dasuki, all of you are now holding on to national conga report. Lame excuse.
ReplyDeleteAlatenujes je it is even better to beg a fellow yoruba for stomach infrastructure than supporting a clueless PHD HOLDER
ReplyDeleteOtunba you are s wise man. All those that abused you for this your position are beginning to bite their finger in regret with what they are seeing now. However they may not have the face to accept this but we know.
ReplyDeleteOga Ade, how are we biting our fingers? Sorry o, if you think we are, you are so so wrong.
DeleteWe do understand that with this administration, considering how much damage the last administrations did, things will only get worse before they get better. We are in the worse now, but it will surely get better.
You (if you are really a Yoruba Man) and your otunba will soon bite your finger when the DasukiGate Bus gets to your bus-stop. Don't worry, Ko ti kan yin, ashi ma pe yin
