The Kwara State chapter of Odua People's Congress(OPC) has urged Nigerians to re-trace their origin and cultures if incessant killing and corruption in the country must be a thing of the past.

The State Coordinator of the Congress,Mallam Maruf Abdulsalam who stated this during a monthly meeting with members of the group across the state in Ilorin at the weekend said adulterated cultures among Nigerians have changed orientation of people and damaged core values of Nigeria.

He explained that Nigeria's cultures forbid shedding innocent blood, disregarding  traditional institutions or attacking royal fathers stressing that many unacceptable, strange incidents have crept into Nigeria from foreign land.

"We must go back to our origin, we must re-trace our cultures if Nigerians must overcome these insecurity, corruption and adulterated life styles adopted by Nigeria women. This nation is in disarray; no peace, there is poverty and hardship while leaders continue to enjoy at the detriment of citizens.

"In the past, each family in Yoruba land has it culture, tradition and whoever goes against it know the implication. In other part of the country, it was also like and that is why we had relative peace in the past."

Abdulsalam who condemned the recent attack on Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero said the incident was barbaric and could not be attributed to Islam.
