Aare Gani Adams-led members of
the Oodua Peoples Congress,( OPC), has dissociated itself from the recent move
by the late Fredrick Fasheun-led members of the group, to endorse the Lagos
State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Mr. Babajide Sanw-olu.
Sanwo-Olu will slug it out with
Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Speaking on Friday, Lagos state
coordinator of OPC, Alhaji Mutair Adesina, said the group was yet to decide on
the candidates the group will support in the forthcoming elections, both in the
state or at the national level.
Adesina also declared that OPC
was yet to announce its position in the contest between President Muhammadu
Buhari and Atiku Abubakar.
“Our leader has the final say,
and we are yet to hear from him. The APC candidate is yet to meet with our
leader, or even pay him a courtesy call.
“So as a group that is poised to
promote the cultural identity of the Yoruba race, our core values are
strengthen by our beliefs in restructuring, as it has been promoted always by
our amiable leader, and the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige
Adams.
“We have our template and
structure firmly rooted both in Nigeria and outside the shores of this country.
Members of our group are scattered across the country, and in 84 countries
across the world.
“Our core values and ideologies
are enshrined in all our programmes. So, before we make up our minds we must
consider so many things, and key among them is our position on restructuring.
“Therefore, we will definitely
bare our minds very soon and at the same time throw our weight behind any
candidate that is ready to restructure Nigeria”
