Gani Adams Blasts Tinubu, Says He Is Not Fit To Be Called A Leader

The national coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Gani Adams has said the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, does not deserve to be called a leader.

The Punch reports that Gani Adams said he can never support anyone that is in alliance with the former Lagos State governor. According to the OPC leader, Tinubu’s animosity towards him dates back to 2011.

He said, “We had some people who left our group because he was financing them to break it (OPC); they couldn’t break it, so they left. We continued to address the issue; even in the media, people were asking what I had with Tinubu, but they couldn’t find any reason. I decided that if I didn’t tell the whole world, my life and integrity would be at stake. “That was one of the reasons that I decided that if Tinubu goes to A, I will go to B. Somebody who has been working to block my progress for the past seven years; if I support him to be in power, he will do worse. Even though he is supporting the right candidate, I will go for the wrong candidate.”

According to Adams, even within the leadership of the APC, some people were wondering why Tinubu would not leave him alone.

He said, “When I asked around, people told me what he was hammering on was ‘he (Adams) attacked us during the election.’ Did I use thugs to attack him? Is there any report in any police station that the OPC attacked the APC because of the Peoples Democratic Party?

“I told them that anybody that would allow the APC to attack the OPC would not die well. I said, ‘Now, we are supporting Jonathan as our candidate. But that does not mean we are thugs of the PDP and that does not mean we are members of the PDP. Go to the polling booth, vote, and go back.’ “The late Gani Fawehinmi, stopped representing my group because of Tinubu. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo hates me with a passion because of Tinubu. The former National Vice Chairman, PDP, Bode George could not trust me because of Tinubu. The late former governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, before he died, could not trust me because of Tinubu. At a point, Gbenga Daniel was skeptical about me because of Tinubu,” he said.
