OTUNBA GANI ADAMS

The Odu’ua People’s Congress, OPC has lent its support to the government’s deployment of the military to Arepo, Ikorodu areas of the Southwest to combat vandals and criminal elements terrorizing the communities.

Making this known recently, National Coordinator of OPC, Otunba Gani Adams attributed the deployment of the military to Arepo, Ikorodu and troubled parts of Yoruba land to spiritual appeasement.

Otunba Adams therefore gave a marching order to members of the group to confront any invader(s) of Yoruba-land and OPC............GANI ADAMS

        Gani Adams, making this known while speaking during the 2016 edition of the annual Ifa Festival, organized by the Olokun Festival Foundation, which took place in Abule Ado area of Amuwo Odofin, described the invasion of the South-west by militants as a slap on the Yorubas.

       The OPC National Coordinator told the mammoth crowd at the occasion that the OPC had, before the deployment some weeks ago, made some sacrificial offering as a result of the invasion by the Niger Delta militants.

       He stated that the decision to appease the gods in Yoruba land was taken during a National Coordinating Council meeting of the group in Akute area of Lagos State.

       “I told the coordinators to make some sacrificial offerings in all their local governments and by the next meeting, over 70% of them had done the offering. It was not up to a week after that, when the President deployed the military to the place”

      “Even if the federal government had not deployed the military men, our men would have confronted them. Our men in IIsawo battled with the Niger Delta militants and facilitated the release of two abducted people in the community”.

       Gani therefore directed members of the OPC to go out in full force and challenge the militants, saying that, “their invasion of Yoruba land is a slap and an embarrassment. We are committed, determined and resolute. We can no longer wait for the government and allow people to terrorize Yoruba land”.

        He described Ifa as the solution to whatever problem that may confront mankind and urged people to seek knowledge from Ifa. “Orunmila is the grand priest of Ifa divination stating that, he was always consulted before, during and after problems”.

       “People of the olden days consult Orunmila, who in turn used Opele and Opon Ifa to seek knowledge from Olodumare”, the OPC chief stated.

“It is not until when a man gets problems that he consults. Ifa offers solution to mankind to prevent thorns that may appear during the course of one’s life”.

       Adams stated that, “a good example of what Ifa can do is the computer. It can even do far beyond the computer”.

       The OPC National Coordinator advised traditional rulers to look inward and appreciate the Ifa priest in their domains and seek solutions to problems that are confronting, not just their towns but also other towns and the country as a whole.

         Media reports revealed that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) have resumed the aerial bombing of vandals in their hideouts in the Arepo axis of Ogun state.
