Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, has said that some of the protagonists of the Oodua Republic are agents that are being paid to frustrate the liberation movement.
Speaking at the weekly O’odua Peoples Congress Stakeholders meeting, held at the Oodua House in Ikeja, Lagos, Adams,expressed disappointment over the development
He said:”It is unfortunate that some people are determined to weaken the spirit of the agitators. Unfolding events in the last few weeks have shown that some prominent politicians have hijacked the struggle for the actualisation of O’odua Repubic. It is an attempt to distract us from the true and original intention of the struggle. But I want say it here that the struggle to seek a new nation is our legitimate rights that we are determined to live and die for and we wouldn’t waiver in our beliefs and determination to liberate our race.
“But in achieving this lofty dream, I can say it authoritatively that we must be conscious of three thing. First,we must show enough diplomacy. Second, we must be conscious of how we generate our information and intelligent- gathering and I will surely keep the third to myself”
“We should be diplomatic enough while addressing issues, we should work on the way we gather our Intelligent reports,and we must be consistent in our quest for total freedom.”
“As the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, I have put in close to three decades experience in the struggle and I know what it takes to win a struggle of this nature. So for those who had been infiltrating the struggle,I will curse them for seven days and if they fail to heed the warnings,I think they would have themselves to blame.
“The whole thing is targeted at soiling my name and that of other Obas in Yorubaland, but and I want to say here that nothing good will come out if their attempt to soil my name.
Iba Adams cursed those instigating crisis in Yoruba land, especially, within the rank of the Oodua Republic agitators, saying the cursing process would be done daily for seven days.
“I will continue to curse them repeatedly for seven days because they deserve nothing but the wrath of God and that of the Yoruba ancestors “
Expressing confidence in the struggle to liberate the race,Iba Gani Adams said Yoruba race is destined to grow and be one of the leading races in the world.
