The Oodua People's Congress (OPC) has raised alarm over
suspected plans to kill its National Coordinator, Otunba Gani Adams, soon into
the life of General Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, reports ITRealms.
Confirming this, OPC in a press statement made available to ITRealms, the socio-cultural organization,
Otunba Adams, has been marked for elimination.
Adams was quoted as saying that the allegation of the plot was
leaked by the security report at the disposal of the OPC, insisting that the
attack will be targeted at his convoy.
OPC, also revealed to ITRealms
that the planned attack is coming after several attempts to remove him as the leader
of the Yoruba self-determination group had failed.
According to the OPC Director of Media and Publicity, Barrister
Yinka Oguntimeyin, those to be used in carrying out the attack have met several
times with the Lagos State based politician, who have heavily funded the attackers.
Oguntimeyin said in the statement that the plan includes the use
of the media to publish negative stories about Adams through the usage of political
party propaganda machinery, which had failed in the past despite several
sponsored negative stories on the OPC leader.
"They now want to create chaos by attacking the convoy of
the National Leader of the congress,” he said.
In addition, Oguntimeyin alleged "A meeting held on
Thursday at the residence of Razak Balogun, popularly called Sadam, who is an
expelled member of the Congress, at Oloworo Road in Oworonsoki, Lagos State,
was attended by 35 grass root members of a zone, where a decision was reached
that a three-man committee, which include Hamza Adeshina (Biggy), Ranti Akande
(Otepa) and Shina Akinpelu to monitor Otunba Gani Adams movement from his
Festac town residence to his office and provide information as regards the day
to day movement of Otunba Adams. We are also aware that the Lagos based politician
has already distributed modern arms, including AK-47 guns, which was collected
on Tuesday and delivered by Shina Akinpelu.”
He pointed out that with this alarm, OPC, “we are bringing to
the attention of the world to the sinister plot to eliminate Otunba Gani Adams
and should the attempt fail or we repel the attack, they will feed the media
with false information further claiming that OPC is made up of thugs and touts.
It is sad that despite the efforts of Otunba Adams to promote the culture and
tradition of his race and upgrade the status of the Oodua People's Congress to
a socially responsible one, and the formation of Oodua Progressive Union, which
is presently active in 57 countries, a platform for Yorubas in the diaspora to
interact and channel their energy towards the propagation of the culture and
tradition of the Yoruba race and in turn build a clear cut tourism platform and
image perception for Nigeria, a move he just established in Istanbul, Turkey
last week Friday and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, some bad elements are
desperate to draw us back to the jungle
days because of their desperate interest.”
OPC further said "We are also aware that another meeting
will hold at the Oworonshoki residence of Sadam. We therefore call on Nigerians
and security agents to be aware of this plot while we keep vigil of their next
moves."
