Set agenda for regionalism, Gani Adams tells Tinubu

The Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has urged the President -elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to set the agenda for the restructuring of Nigeria into regionalism.

Adams stated this at the 2023 edition of the Oodua People’s Congress annual thanksgiving in Lagos, adding that restructuring was the only way for the survival of the country.

The Yoruba generallissimo said, “Nigeria has passed through difficult moments; restructuring into regionalism remains the best option for the country.”

Adams said God has been the pillar of support of the organisation, adding that the group has threshold to survive all crisis.

Adams, who is also the national coordinator of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, said the thanksgiving  is to appreciate God for keeping the hope of the group alive, adding that OPC had, in the last two decades, survived various challenges.

He said, “In the last 29 years, OPC has truly survived various challenges. We have been at the forefront of the war to reclaim the lost glory of our race. We have remained the most formidable organisation in Yoruba land. We have secured the South-West region from internal and external aggressors.

“OPC has fought many wars. The war we are fighting now is the spiritual war. And that is where God has been the pillar of support for our organisation.”

Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abdul Mumin Saliu in his sermon, said OPC had shown enough commitment to the will of God by organising a special thanksgiving service to appreciate Allah for keeping the group’s hope alive.

Also, Pastor Ayobami Ojo of the Apostolic Garden Cherubim and Seraphim church, Lagos, spoke about the need for the Yoruba socio cultural to remain consistent in seeking the face of God in all its programmes.
