Chief Gani Adams, the national coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), has described as wrong the impression in certain quarters that the socio-cultural group is diabolical.In a statement on Sunday, Adams said: "People erroneously have the impression that OPC is diabolical. But it might interest you all to know that we have people of varying religions in OPC and as a leader, I encourage everyone to practice their religion."In OPC, we believe in using Yoruba culture for our activities. We pray in Islam, Christianity and traditional using Yoruba language."So, I will love if we can accommodate more of Yoruba songs in subsequent editions of this event."We are also hoping to have a similar event for aMuslim festival just as we have for various traditional festivals that we participate across Yoruba land."
N igerians must move on together as a breakup is not an option, former Senate President, David Mark, said on Friday. “Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles. We cannot reverse ourselves,” Mr. Mark told Kaduna State Acting Governor, Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna. He was at the head of a delegation of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the acting governor. “The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united,” he was further quoted as saying by his media aide, Paul Mumeh. “We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation." “There is no use heating up the polity,” the ex-Senate president added. He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.
