OPC accuses Tinubu of plans to oust Gani Adam

 The leadership of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC,
has accused a former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu of being behind plans to oust
Otunba Gani Adams as National Coordinator of OPC.
The group alleged that some dismissed members of
the group namely Rasak Balogun, Monsuru Akande,
Musiliu Amusa, Adesina Akinpelu, Olayiwola
Ogunsolu, Lateef Ogungbayi, Gbenga Egunlusi, Ranti
Akande, Lateef Olawale Oshodi, Soji Folorunsho,
Segun Olusanya Idowu Akintunde Sunday Bankole
Kehinde Ogunyale and Sunday Adebayo had written a
letter to the former Lagos State governor, seeking
financial support to remove or get rid of Otunba
Adams as leader of the OPC.
In a statement by the group’s Director of Media and
Publicity, Mr Yinka Oguntimehin, OPC said “this latest
evil scheme of these disgruntled elements is coming
on the heels of their earlier plans to assassinate
Otunba Gani Adams which we exposed some months
back. They have also mounted a campaign of calumny
and malicious falsehood to malign the person of the
national coordinator on print and electronic media all
to no avail.”
While it reposed a vote of confidence in the
leadership of Adams, the group called on Nigerians
to disregard the dismissed members of the group,
which it said were “lawless and only interested in
creating chaos in the society.”
It stated that “the illegal and criminal conduct of
these dismissed elements is no longer fashionable
and not in tandem with the current aspirations of the
repackaged OPC led by Otunba Gani Adams which has
given birth to five different organizations, saddled
with different noble responsibilities that are useful
to the society both nationally and internationally.”
“These dismissed elements should come out with
concrete evidence of any form of malfeasance or
embezzlement of the funds of OPC or any other
organization.
It is worthy of note that seventy five percent of OPC
funding is sourced by Otunba Gani Adams and this
noble act is appreciated by the National Executive
Council; National Coordinating Council and the
general members of the organization”, it stated.
