We’ll Protect The Lives Of Oodua Sons And Daughters – OPC

The Ogun State chapter of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) has come out to declare its readiness to protect all Oodua sons and daughters from the marauders threatening people’s lives and peace in the state.

The State Coordinator of OPC, Chief Adesina Jimoh, recently revealed this to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, media report has it that a whooping sum of N34. 5 million has been paid out to perpetrators of three separate abduction operations carried out within a week in Ogun, and OPC is already on top of the matter.

He added that OPC will not wait for the security operatives to do the needful, and they’ll definitely not watch their people die by installments in the hands of criminals.

His words, “The Ogun State chapter of OPC, under the able leadership of Iba (Dr) Abiodun Ige Gani Adams, the Are Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland here declared that enough is enough to all these kidnappings and other forms of banditry on Oodua land.”

“As we are all aware that it is expressly stated in the Constitutions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) as well as laws of other countries of the world that security of lives and properties is the primary function of every responsible government, however, in the face of this glaring ineptitude of security agencies in Nigeria, particularly in Ogun State, we are ready to provide an alternative towards securing lives and properties of all the Oodua sons and daughters of Ogun state.”

“We are battle-ready to defend the Yoruba people of Ogun State against all acts of subjugation that may be perpetrated in any forms under any guise or name: be it banditry, kidnappings, killings, raping of our girls and women, or Fulani herdsmen’s acts of terrorism.”

“We are highly convinced that with the present levels of wanton killings, kidnapping and raping going on across the country, particularly as it affects Ogun State, the OPC had been pushed to the wall and as such, our level of tolerance is completely exhausted. We are left with no other options than to defend our motherland and all the Oodua sons and daughters Fire for Fire; Violently For Violence.”

“In as much as we are neither ready to point an accusing finger at anybody as responsible for the current woes bedeviling every region of the country, not interested to join issues with anyone for over any ethnic agenda, we, however, want to state unequivocally that we are going vehemently resist all attempts by usurpers to forcefully take over our land or displace our people for their selfish ethnocentric agenda.”

“Enough is enough of this rubbish. OPC in Ogun State will no longer sit back, fold our arms and watch our people being kidnapped, raped, and slaughtered like a ram by these bandits or Fulani herdsmen, who on a daily basis commit crimes with impunity.”
