Gani Adams sets agenda for President-elect, urges him to restructure Nigeria

The Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams has urged the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu to set the agenda for the restructuring of Nigeria into regionalism as the only way for the survival of the country.

Speaking at the 2023 edition of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) annual thanksgiving programme in Lagos, Adams said Nigeria has passed through difficult moments insisting that restructuring into regionalism remains the best option for Nigeria. He said God has been the pillar of support for the organization, adding that the group has the threshold to survive all crises.

Adams, who is also the national coordinator of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, pointed out that the reason for the thanksgiving programme is to appreciate God for keeping the hope of the group alive. He added that OPC had in the last two decades survived various challenges either from within or outside the southwest region.

He maintained that the challenges encountered in the past years were purely like a blessing in disguise for the Yoruba race. “In the last 29 years, OPC has truly survived various challenges. We have been at the forefront of the war to reclaim the lost glory of our race.

“We have remained the most formidable organisation in Yoruba land. We have secured the southwest region from internal and external aggressors. OPC has fought many wars. The war we are fighting now is the spiritual war. And that is where God has been the pillar of support for our organisation.”

In his sermon, an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abdul Mumin Saliu, said OPC has shown enough commitment to the will of God by organising a special thanksgiving service to appreciate Allah for keeping the group’s hope alive.

He said, “Allah has been of great blessing to the organization for surviving the most trying period in the life of the group. I urge all members of the organization to keep faith in the leadership of the organization.

On his part, Pastor Ayobami Ojo of the Apostolic Garden Cherubim and Seraphim church in Lagos said there is a need for the Yoruba socio-cultural group to remain consistent in seeking the face of God in all its programmes.

“It is worthy of the organization to praise God. God appreciates praise in the life of his creatures. The OPC has passed through thick and thin and now become a formidable force in the southwest.”
