Resign now, OPC faction tells Gani Adams

A faction opposed to the leadership style of the National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, has called for his resignation with immediate effect.

The  National Coordinating Council of OPC, accused Adams of political partisanship, gross misconduct, abuse of power and high-handedness.

The faction made the call after its meeting held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, shortly after a congratulatory visit to the state chapter of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) over the election of Alhaji Waheed Odusile as the National President.

The acting President,  of the group Alhaji Razak Balogun, said the call become imperative in view of the vote of no-confidence passed in Adams, stating that he has derailed from the ideals and vision of the OPC to liberate the Yoruba nation at large.

Balogun and the other aggrieved leaders also hinted that their faction was not out to discredit Gani Adams but to set the records straight that members of OPC had passed a vote of no confidence in him thereby calling for his immediate resignation before it is too late for him, adding that, Adams is “only using the name of OPC to enrich himself.”

But Otunba Adams dismissed their allegation, saying they are all expelled members.

Adams, who spoke through his Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Yinka Oguntimehin, a lawyer said:

“They are faceless  group and expelled members of OPC. All their allegations are baseless and empty.
