After Punch newspaper quoted Lagos APC’s publicity
secretary, Joe Igbokwe to have said,“Why should hoodlums be used in securing
pipelines…using OPC is a primitive way of securing pipelines. You don’t give
sensitive jobs like pipelines to outlaws.” The Oodua Peoples Congress have
replied him saying his statement wasn’t just insultive to them but to the entire Yoruba race and they urge the spokesman to please withdraw his statement
within seven days or face the wrath of Yoruba gods and ancestors. Continue…
“Igbokwe needs to take a tour to the communities where the
pipeline runs through and speak with the residents on their experience since
the OPC started watching over the facilities. Our men have brought some sense
of safety and security to the people of the areas where these pipelines pass
through.

“On this note, I wish to say that Mr. Joe Igbokwe withdraws
his comments and apologize to the OPC within seven days or risk the wrath of
all the deities in Yorubaland. Igbokwe’s latest statement is seen as an insult
on the entire Yoruba race and would be punished by Yoruba gods and our
ancestors if he fails to apologize within seven days”.
