The Oodua People's Congress (OPC) has
described the leader of the Indigenous people of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu as a 'non-entity' over
his recent comments on former President
Olusegun Obasanjo and a National Leader of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.
According to a statement by the group made
available to PoliticsNGR and signed by its national
president, Adesope Dare, the OPC said it will not
sit down and watch Kanu insult Yoruba elders.
The statement read;
“The OPC also supports the genuine aspirations of
all self-determination groups who pursue their
aims through non-violent means. The Nigerian
constitution and several international charters, to
which the country is a signatory to, recognise the
right to freedom of association by anybody,
whether individual, corporate or institutional.
"However, in supporting such agitations, we must
not shy away from rebuking Nnamdi Kanu for the
aspersions he has been casting in the direction of
our revered leaders.
"Kanu’s repeated condemnation of former
President Olusegun Obasanjo; former Governor of
Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and others is
condemned in the strongest possible terms.
"The idea of respect for elders might be alien to
Kanu and his ilk, but it is a fundamental part of
the Yoruba culture and tradition and we cannot
afford to overlook such transgressions.
"We, therefore, use this medium to warn Kanu and
other such individuals who are fond of making
careless comments in relation to our leaders; that
OPC will no longer sit back and allow this bunch
of nonentities to disrespect our leaders or to use
them to score cheap political scores.”
