Some members of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) have accused their leader, Gani Adam, of disrespecting the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
Speaking on behalf of the OPC members, the OPC Kwara State Coordinator, Mr. Maruff Olanrewaju, said “Just
of recent, you are all living witnesses when a former President of
Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo went to Oni of Ife, he prostrated
flatly before Oni. But when Gani Adams went, he just bowed his head with
hand shake to Oni. That is disrespectful.
“Adams
is a disgrace to Yoruba culture. When you are promoting culture and you
cannot bow in front of one of the most highly respect Oba in Yoruba
land that is unacceptable.”
Olanrewaju also accused Adams of collecting N10.6b from former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said “Adams
promised our members that if Jonathan released money, each member will
get between N200,000 and N250,000 as empowerment. When Jonathan released
N1.6bn through Musiliu Obanikoro, for that empower, there was nothing
to show for it.”
He said “He(Adams)
should explain how Jonathan’s money was spent. Before the election,
there was a publication by a former National Publicity Secretary of the
All Progressives Congress now Minister of Information and Culture,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed that Adams had collected N9bn from Jonathan to
disorganize the Yoruba race. We denied that but later we came to the
realization that truly he collected the money.”
Punch reports that Gani Adams was also accused of allegedly collecting $22m from former Libyan leader, late Muammar Gaddafi.
