\n
The Oodua People’s Congress, OPC New Era has condemned the attacks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
meted out on Igbo people in Lagos State, calling on all security
\nagencies to fish out the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

OPC New Era in a press release by its National Public Relations
\nOfficer, Comrade Adeshina Akinpelu described the attack on Igbo people
\nby some members of National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW and
\nsome members of Oodua People’s Congress, Faseun faction as
\nill-conceived and senseless.<\/p>\n

“We members of Oodua People’s Congress, New Era condemns in it
\ntotality the recent attack on Igbo people in Lagos State over their
\ndecision to cast their votes to those they want. How can any sensible
\nperson attack fellow human being just because he or she has a
\npreferred candidate to vote for? Every Nigerian has the right to vote
\nfor any candidate he or she wants. Those miscreants who attacked and
\nprevented law abiding Igbo people from voting in Lagos State and their
\nsponsors must be fished out and made to pay for their crimes.”<\/p>\n

Akinpelu added that the OPC members who took part in the attack have
\ndeviated from what OPC stands for and so they must be made to pay for
\ntheir crimes as they are bad eggs within the OPC and which OPC New Era
\nhas been raising awareness about their activities before the election.<\/p>\n

“These are the bad eggs within the OPC that we are talking about. We
\norganised an election stakeholders meeting before the election in
\nIbadan and we raised the alarm that some OPC members have compromised
\nthe integrity of the Congress by becoming an attack dogs of a high
\nprofile politician in Lagos.”<\/p>\n

Also reacting to the threat of the IPOB; he described its leader as a
\n‘loquacious coward’ who after fleeing Nigeria now wants to bring about
\nmayhem in the country.<\/p>\n

“Nmandi Kanu is a nothing but a ‘loquacious coward’ who wants to take
\nadvantage of every situation to advance his narrow-minded interest. If
\nnot for the purpose of setting the record straight; OPC would not have
\ndescended so low to react to Kanu’s careless postulations. This is a
\nguy who brainwashed many young Igbo youths into joining IPOB and left
\nthem to be killed by soldiers. This coward who fled the country like a
\nthief in the night is now threatening to attack Yoruba land. We urge
\nhim to carry out the threat. What soldiers did to him and his
\nbrainwashed members will be a ‘child play’ compare to what we would do
\nto them.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
