THE Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, has said that it was not a terrorist organistion urging that the group should not be equated with the Boko Haram Islamic sect.
In a statement by OPC’s National Coordinator, Otunba Gani Adams argued that the OPC remains a visible organisation just as faulted those trying to equate the group with Boko Haram.
Otunba Adams said “it has come to the notice of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) that some prominent people from the Northern part of the country who are not happy with the determination of the Federal Government to put a stop to the wanton killings in the north have decided to cast aspersion on the OPC by equating it with the Boko Haram sect. We have decided to remain neutral and maintain our peace since the orgy of killings started. But we have taken note of statements credited to some prominent Northern leaders, especially since the crack down on the Boko Haram sect.”
