Yoruba socio-cultural organization, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) has said it has no form of connection with Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, APC national leader, Bola Tinubu and Ekiti state executive governor, Kayode Fayemi.
Yinka Oguntimehin, the image maker of OPC in a statement said that the organization was not involved with a “Mega Accord of 57 civil society groups calling for southwest presidential candidate”.
He said those who added the name of OPC during a meeting at the weekend were engaging in fraudulent game.
The spokesman said the Aare Gani Adams-led body at no time announced it was mobilizing for any politician or party.
He reiterate that Nigeria’s problem can only be addressed through restructuring, to allow regions develop at their own pace as it was in the 1960 and 1963 constitutions.
“We are aware that when elections are approaching, some politicians usually use the OPC’s name to curry favours.
“There are some groups that are affiliates of political parties that usually make themselves available for politicians as at when due.”

Oguntimehin told the public that those fronting as OPC members have no known ideals, programmes or activities.
“When anything happens in Yorubaland, you don’t hear their voices, except during elections or when they are paid to issue statements against us.
“Even if an angel emerges the president of this nation today, without restructuring, nothing will change for the better.
“Our position on the future of Nigeria is clearly stated in our belief in restructuring. That is why we root for regionalism as the best option for peace and stability.”
The statement warned persons and groups using the OPC to gain popularity or influence to stop or face appropriate actions.
