The President of Oodua People’s Congress Reformed (OPCR) Chief Dare Adesope has warned Yoruba elder stateman, Pa Ayo Adebanjo and all relevant groups to shield their swords and put their house so the presidential flag bearer of the ruling party (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will contest the next election with a formidable team from home for his victory.
Adesope, who pointed out that this is a golden opportunity for the Yoruba race to produce the next President, said the ambition of few individuals and selfish tendencies cannot be allowed to scuttle the larger interests of the Yoruba race and the country at large.
According to him, the election is going to be in favour of Tinubu going by his achievements in Lagos State, adding with the number of resourceful people he has produced, the political parties he founded and sustained are testimonies of his political sagacity which the country can benefit immensely from if he becomes the pyresident.

The OPC boss, described the recent comment by Pa Ayo Adebanjo that Afenifere is in support of the Labour Party presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, as blatant lie and figment of his own imagination, recalling a Yoruba proverb that one’s child cannot be qualified for a position and you give such a position to a stranger.
He said: “Tinubu has the pedigree and all what it takes to rule this country and make the Yoruba race proud because he has done it in the past with Lagos experiment by turning the economy fortune of the state to enviable height. That’s why all hands must be on deck to assist him to assist him to get to Aso Rock next year.”
He called on all self-determined groups in the Southwest to come together and speak with one voice for the 2023 poll.
