The Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) has dissociated itself from the ongoing agitation for Oduduwa Republic, stressing its support for restructuring of the country.

The group’s President, Otunba Wasiu Afolabi, who belongs to the late Frederick Fasheun faction, made the declaration during his inauguration as the new leader.

Oluwabunmi, son of Fasheun, the founder of OPC, also emerged as National Secretary at the national convention of the organization.

Afolabi, while clarifying the group’s position on agitation for Oduduwa Republic, in his acceptance speech, said: “Let me quickly address the matter of those agitating for a separate Yoruba nation.

I was Deputy President to Dr. Fasehun for over eight years. Along with many people, we undertook several projects, programmes and journeys together with Baba. In his life-time, Dr. Frederick Fasehun never spoke to us about Yoruba independence. Anyone who tells you Baba ever said so is a liar. What Dr. Fasehun was concerned about was for Nigeria to hold the sovereign national conference (SNC). Baba preached the gospel of restructuring in which the states or regions will enjoy devolution of power and resource control. That is where OPC stands. He also urged members to operate within the confines of the law in their zeal to tackle insecurity.”

    At no time did the two factions of OPC participated in the Disintegration War with Revolutionary Warfare we this territory natives fought four years long and won in which Oduduwa Republic of south west is one of the six sovereign states.

    Principles of democracy is decision of majority. Majority of Yoruba people which firmly stand for Oduduwa Republic of south west within Disintegrated Republics of this territory natives, are what counts.

    Any individual, group, community, town, city which do not respect our liberation as this territory natives from the bondage of fulani caliphate called Nigeria and submit to governments of the six sovereign states, must go down with defeated fulani caliphate called Nigeria.

    The way defeated British bandits find their way back to Britain in 1960, so also must defeated fulani criminals find their way back to Guinea- dead or alive in this 2021. Only the Sword decides.
