The National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Otunba Gani Adams, says recent killing of the Yoruba in some Lagos and Ogun communities by suspected Ijaw militants was unfortunate but said the OPC will not confront them.
He, however, assured that the OPC has the capacity to repel them. Adams, who spoke in Lagos, said: “With what has happened now, we have realised that there is a lot of threat confronting the South West.”
Condemning the wanton killings and destruction of property, the OPC leader said: “We are still talking about the menace of herdsmen and some hoodlums masquerading as kidnappers or militants started to kill our people to the extent that the Ogun State deputy governor came to the area and they chased the security of the deputy governor and the police could not do anything.
The law enforcement agents should tell the whole world how many of the criminals that they have arrested after more than 50 people have been massacred.” Assuring that the group has the wherewithal to confront the hoodlums, he called on leaders from the South West to support the OPC to fight for their interest.

You r just rambling, prevaricating between reprisals and sit-down-look. Be firm by issuing warnings against fresh attacks; don't use parapo calls to elicit reactions.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, I think what the man is trying to pass across is the need for everyone to see the vacuum left without their involvement. And to prove beyond reasonable doubt that his group has all it takes to make a great difference. So that, when next you all hear of a govt magnanimity towards empowering them financially, you wouldn't start ranting. Ofcourse money is needed for them to be effective. Above it all, he wants all the saboteurs from within the Yoruba leadership to see the need for a United front. I think he is on course.
ReplyDeletehahaahahaa well u r right, They should unite and fight not always doing saboteur.
DeleteThe above anonymous comment, 11:08 AM is the kind of contrarian view I like reading, not curses like "thunder fire your family;" "God punish your generations," to mention only two.
