Top leaders of the Oodua Peoples’ Congress (OPC), who are opposed to the leadership style of its National Coordinator, Otunba Gani Adams, Wednesday vowed to consult extensively towards ensuring the emergence of a new successor.
The selection process for a new national coordinator, they said, would include the consultation of the Ifa (Yoruba divinity) oracle to get the “right person.”
Speaking with reporters at a sensitisation meeting held in Sagamu, Ogun State, the leaders under the aegis of National Coordinating Council of OPC restated their decision to relieve Adams of his post over alleged “anti-group/congress activities.”
The organisation, it will be recalled, had been enmeshed in crisis over the campaign fund allegedly collected by its leader for the last presidential elections.
One of the NCC members, Morufu Salami, told reporters that Adams was no longer in charge of affairs of the Yoruba socio-cultural group.
Salami, who is the Kwara State coordinator of OPC, said the group had also petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged mismanagement of the campaign fund collected from former President Goodluck Jonathan.
