Abuja (Precise Post) – The Oodua People’s Congress, New Era, has slammed Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams over his verbal attacks on National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
The group while disassociating itself from the verbal attacks, adviced Adams to heed this advice and to seek forgiveness from Tinubu.
In a statement by its National President, Mr. Razak Arogundade, the group described the attack of the National Coordinator of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) on the former governor of Lagos State, as unfortunate and very disrespectful.
It said the Oodua People’s Congress (New Era) is dissociating itself from Comrade Gani Adams’ vitriolic and ill-advised attack on the person of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“We not only condemn Adams’ disrespectful action but also advise him to go for training and counselling on how a true ‘Omoluabi’ should relate and comport when addressing or dealing with elders.”
Arogundade said the group was compelled to issue the statement following the deluge of reactions that followed Adams’ disrespectful comments, stating that many of which, by association, impinged on the name and character of OPC.
“We here again stress that Adam’s comments are his personal opinion and should not be regarded as that of the OPC as a collective entity. Our advice also goes to Adams to heed this advice and to seek forgiveness from Tinubu -as that was among the allusions in his unguarded outburst- in order for peace to reign in the house of Oduduwa.
We give this advice, knowing that this is not the first of such unguarded reactionary behaviour which we believe was a personal and deep hatred for the person of Asiwaju Tinubu
