The National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, Chief Gani Adams, has said that his group is not backing any of the presidential candidates contesting the February 14 election.
Assistant General Secretary, Lasun Ogunfowokan, who spoke on behalf of Adams in Ile Ife on Friday at a quiz organised by the OPC for students in Osun State, said the group remained neutral in the election.
He stated that the OPC was not supporting President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buahari (retd.) and other contestants.
Adams added that his faction of OPC was not partisan and would not support any of the candidates against the others.
He said, “We are not partisan. The OPC led by Chief Gani Adams is made up of freedom fighters. We are not supporting any of the presidential candidates.
“But we are calling on all our members and other Nigerians to go and collect their permanent voter cards to enable them to participate in the general elections.”
He urged the Yoruba people to be united and shun politics of bitterness for development to continue in the region.
