Gani Adams gave marching order to OPC members to confront any invaders of Yoruba Land.

The National Coordinator of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, has attributed the deployment of soldiers to combat suspected Niger Delta militants in parts of Lagos and Ogun states to the spiritual appeasement made Yoruba leaders.

Adams, who was speaking during the annual Ifa festival, which held at the Abule Ado area of Lagos State, also sent a warning to evil-minded people to steer clear of Yorubaland, saying the OPC is ready to confront and group of invaders.

The OPC chief described the invasion of the south west by suspected militants as a slap on the Yoruba race.

Speaking further, Adams said the OPC carried out some spiritual sacrifices shortly before the military was deployed, adding that the deployment was the result of the sacrifices.

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

Adams said that his members are prepared to confront the suspected militants, saying, “even if the Federal Government had not deployed the military men, our men would have confronted them. You’ll recall that our men in Isawo battled with the Niger Delta militants and facilitated the release of two abducted people in the community.”

He also directed members of OPC to go out in full force and challenge the militants, saying their invasion of Yoruba land is an embarrassment.

“We are committed, determined and resolute. We can no longer wait for the government and allow people to terrorise Yoruba land,” the OP C chief said.

Adams described Ifa as the Lord’s solution to whatever problem that may confront mankind and urged people to seek knowledge from Ifa.
