OPCI TO FG Don’t involve OPC into National security, OPC is a banned organisation by Olusegun Obasanjo

KEHINDE AKINPELU ILORIN

The National President of the OPCI, Dr. Maruff Olarewaju, said that the demand to integrate OPC as parts of National Security is ridiculous, self-serving and will not align with the greater good of the nation, adding that the request is an affront to the Nigerian government.

Meanwhile, Dr. Olarewaju stated that the OPC is an organisation that was banned during the tenure of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

He said: “It is well documented that the OPC was banned by the Obasanjo regime and labelled as a terrorist organisation globally. No amount of rebranding can change this fact. The OPC, led by Gani Adams, has a history of perpetrating violence and destruction in the Southwest region, resulting in loss of lives and property.

“Nigerians are not fooled by the OPC’s attempts to hide under the guise of insecurity and seek undue recognition. During President Jonathan’s administration, the OPC was empowered and awarded lucrative pipeline contracts worth billions of naira, yet they failed to deliver.

“The recent statement by Gani Adams, a factional leader of the outlawed Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), calling on the government to involve his organisation in national affairs at Osun Osogbo Festival is quite revealing. It is evident that Mr. Adams’ plea for recognition and involvement is motivated by financial desperation rather than a genuine desire to contribute to the nation’s progress.

“Whenever Mr. Adams faces financial difficulties, he resorts to seeking assistance from those in positions of authority. His actions are driven by a singular focus on financial gain, rather than a commitment to any discernible policy or principle.

“It is imperative to recognise that Mr. Adams’ intentions are self-serving and do not align with the greater good of the nation. We must be cautious of his attempts to exploit situations for personal financial benefit and avoid legitimising his outlawed organisation.

“No amount of polish can change illegal to legal, up till today, OPC remains an illegal organisation in face of law and we are calling on all security agencies to beam the searching light on all illegal organisations and their activities in our dear county.

“We urge the Nigerian federal government and the State governments, especially the South West governors, to exercise caution and not legitimise illegal organisations like the OPC. We must prioritise the safety and well-being of our citizens and avoid compromising our national security.”
He urged the federal government not to have any deed with Gani Adam ;
