All members of the Oodua People's Congress (OPC) have been directed to troop out in their large numbers to honour Otunba Gani Adams who will be formally installed as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi.
The call was made by the Founder & President of OPC, Dr Frederick Fasehun in a press statement issued on his behalf by the Vice President (Administration) of the Congress, Alhaj Lateef Lawal yesterday, in Lagos.
Dr Fasehun who expressed his delight on the choice of Otunba Adams for the exalted position by Oba Adeyemi said he would personally be present and also lead all members of OPC both at home and in diaspora to the installation ceremony scheduled for 13,January,2018 in Oyo in the palace of the Alaafin.
The OPC President noted that his personal presence at the ceremony 'would seal the "coffin" of rumour mongers that kept saying Gani Adams and myself are at loggerheads. Loggerheads for what ? We speak from time to time.'
"In fact, Gani is my son and in addition to his leverage, I am now the Baba Aare. The title is not only for Otunba Adams, but also an honour to all members of OPC in general".
He commended the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi for zeroing in on OPC out of various socio-cultural groups in Yorubaland to pick Otunba Adams for the position.
