The Oyo State chapter of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) under the leadership of Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, has said the unexpected visit of Sheik Abubakar Gunmi, a Northern Islamic cleric, known to be fraternizing with the bandits, to Igboho, a Yoruba town, in Oyo North, Oyo State, is an affront on the entire Yoruba nation.
Coordinator of the OPC in Oyo State, Comrade Rotimi Oguntunde Olumo, who briefed the press after the state executive council meeting of the organisation in Ibadan at the weekend, pointed out that Gunmi outstepped his boundary, warning him to stay clear of any part of the south western region of the country.
Olumo said Gunmi’s visit comes with a big security threat to the entire Yoruba nation because they did not see any reason or interest it serves, rather than to make mockery of the people in the south west.
Olumo argued that the statement of Gunmi and his entourage at Igboho was a clear manifestation that they were there to ridicule and provoke the Yorubas in their domain, which the OPC frowned at.
