BOKO HARAM INSURGENCY: NIGERIA IN A NIGHTMARE

>Calls for vigilance

The current spate of northern insurgency and Islamic terrorists  have turned Nigeria into a nightmare, the Founder and President of the Oodua People's Congress (OPC), Dr Frederick Fasehun remarked.

He therefore charged Nigerians to be very vigilant to disallow the terrorists from spreading their tentacles to other parts of the country.

of the new OPC Executive at Okota, Lagos last Tuesday. 

He gave the charge  in Lagos during the inauguration of  29 members  strong newly appointed National Executive Council of OPC at the Century Hotel, Okota.

Dr Fasehun said in view of the level of insurgency ravaging the Norh Eastern part of the country, " this time calls for men and women whom our people can look up to as a refuge of security in case the unexpected happens".

In this regard, he said :" OPC must be vigilant. By the grace and mercy of God, terrorism will not rule Yoruba land and Nigeria".

The OPC President therefore told the newly inaugurated national officers that:" As you take your oath of office today, the voice you will hear ringing in your soul will tell you to be steadfast, to be decent, to be forthright, E ranti Omo  eniti eyin nse (Remember the sons/daughters of whom you are)".

He also warned them not to see their elevation to the new positions as licence for criminality and greed as exhibited by the previously dissolved executive members.

On the political front, Fasehun said the new leadership of OPC would soon sit down together and give directions to the organisation on the candidates members of the Congress would be supporting at the States and National levels in the coming elections.
