#Guber/AssemblyPolls2019: OPC assures Igbos of safety in South West
President of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) Worldwide, Prince Osibote Oodua has assured all Igbos living in the South West of their safety before, during and after the forthcoming gubernatorial elections slated for this Saturday.
This was in reaction to insinuations from some quarters that the Yorubas were preparing to unleash terror on South Easterners over political differences.Prince Osibote, who met with Igbo stakeholders in Lagos on Tuesday urged them to disregard any threat to their safety in the South West.
He told the Igbo leaders that there was no way the Yorubas could attack them due to the relationship that exists between the two ethnic groups.”I can recollect the role Igbo sons played in my Congress’ struggle.
Mr. Ogbonna Okechukwu Onovo (Rtd. IGP), when he was Commissioner of Police of Ogun State, later NDLEA Chairman, gave total support to our late founder, Dr. Frederick Fasheun.”
Also, Chief Nnoruka, Chief Nobert Agu, Mr. Andy Igboekwe (SAN) and others,” he said.Prince Osibote added that he personally wooed Bakassi Boys to operate with the OPC in year 2000, and urged the Igbos to disregard whatever they are reading on social media as it is pure entertainment.
