The Vice President of O’odua Peoples Congress, OPC, Otunba Kazeem Badmus, has commended both the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole and the Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel over the negotiation of a truce between the two leaders.
According to Badmus, “I am so happy to learn about the peace meeting held by the two Yoruba leaders, and I feel it’s time that should happen, because that is what we expect from our Yoruba leaders: to cooperate and speak with one voice. When I learnt of the meeting held in Abuja, recently, I was so glad and I believe it is the beginning of better things in the state. Settling the rancour that has pervaded Ogun State in the past is a welcome development,” he said.
The Yoruba leader also condemned the bombing of Abuja during the celebration of Nigeria’s 50th independence and lambasted the bombers. He asked: “Who are they threatening? What do they want and what do they hope to achieve?”
He said the bomb blast is already affecting the political situation and has created fear and doubt in some circles, while various discordant sentiments are being expressed to the detriment of the polity.
