Everything about The Oodua Peoples Congress totally explained
The
Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) is a militant
Yoruba nationalist organization situated in
Nigeria. The Yoruba people, who live in the South Western part of Nigeria, as well as neighbouring countries such as
Benin, are a large ethno-linguistic group; the majority of them speak the
Yoruba language (ede Yorùbá). The Yoruba constitute approximately 21 percent of
Nigeria's total population, and around 30 million individuals throughout the region of
West Africa.
They are also known as the Oodua Liberation Movement (OLM) or the Revolutionary Council of Nigeria (RCN)
History
The Oodua Peoples Congress was formed when a group of Yoruba elite, including
Frederick Fasehun, decided to form an organization to actualize the annulled mandate of Chief
Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, a Yoruba who won the presidential election of
June 12,
1993 but was barred from office.
Although the founding president of the OPC was Fasehun, in 1999 a faction led by
Ganiyu Adams broke off from the main organization, but continued usage of the main parties name is led by
Ganiyu Adams. Adams and Fasehun are widely held by the Yoruba to be the leaders of the OPC.
