• Olubadan sends delegation to Cotonou
The Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), at the weekend, cautioned the Federal Government to desist from any attempt to clamp down on self-determination agitators, warning that such could only exacerbate national crises.
A statement by the OPC Publicity Secretary, Yinka Oguntimehin, flayed Federal Government’s approach in Igboho’s ordeals.
It maintained that the use and application of force on self-determination agitators had only justified Federal Government’s lack of respect for human rights and intolerance for the views of others.
While condemning last Monday’s arrest of Sunday Igboho by the International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, the OPC publicity scribe described the treatment meted out to Igboho in Nigeria and also in Cotonou as very unpleasant.

Some party leaders last Thursday resolved to choose ward officials by consensus. The resolution was reached during a meeting held at the Gawon Nama residence of Senator Aliyu Wamakko, who is the leader of the party in the state.
But speaking with newsmen at the weekend, Hon Salame said the decision would not stand because other key members of the party were not carried along.
He said, “The Speaker of the House of Assembly who is a card carrying member of APC and myself were not part of that decision. We only heard that some stakeholders of the party met at a private house of one of our leaders and took the decision.
