The National Coordinator of Oodua Peoples Congress, (OPC) Gani Adams has said that his men may not be able provide enough security for the Southwest people as the Fulani herdsmen attacks persist in the states.
Adams said the people must be prepared to defend themselves against the attack by herdsmen, which he added, continued unabated.
The OPC leader spoke yesterday at a lecture organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ondo State Council, to commemorate the 2016 Democracy Day.
Themed: “Herdsmen/ Fulani clashes: What implication for inter-Ethnic Relations/ Nigerian Economy?”, Adams, said Yoruba people’s negative comments over the activities of the OPC has demoralised the group.
He said the group lost the zeal to protect the people because its members were branded touts, thugs and terrorists by the same Yoruba race.
The OPC chieftain added that they were only recognised during elections, but politicians shot their doors against them after they might have won.
