 OPC state chairmen call on EFCC to probe Gani Adams. 

  – OPC state chairmen asked President Muhammadu Buhari to proble Gani Adams

– The Chairmen accused Adams of financial impropriety 

– They alleged he received money from Goodluck Jonathan but failed to give members of the group. 

 Trouble seems to be breeding within the foremost Yoruba group, the Odua’ Peoples Congress (OPC) as some state chairmen called on security operatives to probe Gani Adams.

 Adams who is the national coordinator of the OPC was referred to as a former OPC national coordinator by the chairmen. They also accused him and his aides, Ogunshola Olugbade and Femi Felix, of financial impropriety.

 The Punch reports that Mr. Maruff Olanrewaju, the chairman of the Kwara state chapter of the OPC who spoke on Sunday, February 14 called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate Adams

 In attendance were the Oyo state coordinator, Chief Adeagbo Musediq; his Ondo State counterpart, Mr. Rotimi Akinsonwon, a member of the national coordinating council, Mr. Lateef Oshodi; a former national publicity and director of programmes, Mr. Sunday Bankole as well as some other national and Kwara state executives of the organisation.

The Kwara state chairman said the Delta state coordinator, Mr. Hakeem Agbo-ola; the Sokoto state and Kaduna state chairmen, Alhaji Yekini Salaudeen and Alhaji Rasaq Ogunsanwo respectively and that of Bayelsa State though absent were in agreement with their position.

“We also call on President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC to investigate all Gani Adams banks accounts; Ogunshola Olugbade’s account as well as Femi Felix account from February to November 2015.
“Moreso, President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration should give very closed monitoring to the bank and industry sectors because how can someone within a month save more than a billion in an account without any alarm from the bankers?” 

He accused Adams of planning to storm Kwara state with hoodlums and said He was received from his position as coordinator because he disgraced the Yoruba race in the presence of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. 

“Just of recent, you are all living witnesses when a former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo went to Oni of Ife, he prostrated flatly before Oni. But when Gani Adams went, he just bowed his head with hand shake to Oni. That is disrespectful.
Adams is a disgrace to Yoruba culture. When you are promoting culture and you cannot bow in front of one of the most highly respect Oba in Yoruba land that is unacceptable.” 
Olanrewaju alleged that former president, Goodluck Jonathan gave Adams N1.6bn to empower members of the group but the money was not remitted to them“Adams promised our members that if Jonathan released money, each member will get between N200,000 and N250,000 as empowerment. When Jonathan released N1.6bn through Musiliu Obanikoro, for that empower, there was nothing to show for it.

“He should explain how Jonathan’s money was spent. Before the election, there was a publication by a former National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress now Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed that Adams had collected N9bn from Jonathan to disorganize the Yoruba race. We denied that but later we came to the realization that truly he collected the money. 

 “At the first meeting after the election, he told us that he spent N800m on OPU outside the country. Where did he get the money? He also bought some properties. After the election, he went to London to establish Odua Voice Radio, which cost him thousands of dollars. Where did he get the money from if he did not collect N9bn from Jonathan?”

“Adams should explain how Jonathan’s money was spent. We demand immediate reaction to the allegation of $22m Gadaffi money. He should show to the world the registration certificate of Olokun Festival Foundation, Oodua Economic Empowerment Initiative and that of Oodua Voice Radio,”
Adams was also accused of boasting that he would mobilise votes for Jonathan from the south west but he failed.
