OPC warns herdsmen against attack
*'Gani Adams is not our leader'
Oodu'a Peoples' Congress (OPC), a Yoruba socio-cultural group has warned herdsmen against continuous attacks on innocent people and communities, saying it would not tolerate killing of farmers in the Southwest.
The group cautioned the Federal Government against initiating the controversial grazing bill. It said it would resist the move to promulgate a law that would give privilege to a section of the country.
Rising from a general meeting held yesterday in Gbagada, Lagos State, OPC members described the controversial grazing bill as an "insult" to the people.
Its National Publicity Secretary Shina Akinpelu, said: "It is an insult to collective psyche of Nigerians to hear that a bill is being considered to allow or create grazing zones for the herdsmen. The OPC and the whole Yoruba nation reject such proposition and will resist it with all that we have."
The OPC members also called on Otunba Gani Adams to stop parading himself as leader of the group. They accused Adams of trading off the group for personal gains. They all condemned Adam's style of leadership.
More than 1,000 members of the group across states attended the meeting. OPC national officers, who attended the meeting, included Chief Boye Mayunpe, Alhaji Amusa Musiliu, Lagos Island chapter Chairman, Alhaji Lateef Oshodi; Oyo State chapter chairman, Chief Adeola Adeagbo and his Kwara and Bayelsa states counterparts, Comrade Moruf Olanrewaju and Comrade Akeem, among others.
