The Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) has expelled some members of the group for alleged anti-group activities.
Making the announcement yesterday in Lagos, the National Coordinating Council (NCC) of the group, said the expelled members were found guilty of actions that portrayed the group in bad light and as an anti-people group.
“All the affected members were found guilty of gross indiscipline. Their actions portrayed us a group of lawless people and a group that does not work for the progress of the people.”
According to the Director of Media and Publicity, Yinka Oguntimehin, “the OPC frowns seriously at the expelled members who were involved in gross anti-congress activities and acts that may bring the congress to public ridicule. OPC, over the years have come out of various negative perceptions, and the congress have through its activities, which include cultural promotions and humanitarian services, complementing the efforts of security agencies, especially in South West, the formation of OPU, which spread across 63 countries over the world, carved a niche for itself as a responsible organisation,
To allow such ill-mannered people to be in leadership positions and representing the organisation is dangerous for the well-being of both the OPC and the people.”
