The leader of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Gani Adams, has expressed appreciation to the governors of the South-west states for their supports to ensure maximum security in Nigeria.

A statement made available to Yellowstone Media stated that Gani appreciated the governors at the Odo Erelu Meiran Festival in collaboration with Olokun Festival Foundation held in Lagos recently.

The Yoruba leader also commended the federal government, the Nigeria Police and the leaders of the region on the recent development to secure the region.

According to him, "The partnership between the OPC under my leadership and the police is a welcome development.

"The spate of insecurity in Nigeria is worrisome, and I want to assure the federal government and the police that we are ready and are presently working on modalities to incorporate other notable groups on the project."

"Security issue is sacred, and as a group, OPC under my leadership will leave no stone unturned until peace is restored in Nigeria and the South-west region in particular."

He encouraged the people from Meiran Kingdom to support the royal father in ensuring that the festival, which he described as a laudable project, is sustained.

"Erelu river goddess, according to the history, has healing powers. Odo Erelu has a special panegyric power popularly called 'Erelu Abiye’ Alagbo Ofe, which simply illustrates the healing powers and prowess of the Erelu river goddess.

"What I am driving at with this statement is that we should make sure that this festival becomes an annual event that will later enjoy the best recognition across the country and beyond," Adams said.
