@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR I know that you are too young to know these things, but you aren't too young to learn from your elders or to at least google. Or are you?

In Nov 1999, OPC claiming to fight for Yorubas slaughtered Hausas without mercy. OBJ ordered the Police to shoot anyone called OPC on sight

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR In Oct 2000, OPC also clashed with Northerners pretending that they were fighting for Yoruba. 80 people were reported dead. Police said 6 OPC died. OPC said its 9.

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR In 2002, OPC also slaughtered Hausas and other northerners again claiming that they were also fighting for Yoruba.
The casualty figures was allegedly 55 dead, 200 injured and 57 seriously injured (some of whom later died).

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR In fact, by 2006, OBJ through his Attorney General, Bayo Ojo told the court in an affidavit that over 10,000 Nigerians (mostly Hausa-Fulani) have in truth been killed by OPC. He wanted maximum punishment for OPC members.

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR In all of these Tinubu continued to provide cover and finance for OPC.
In 2001, Tinubu claimed he wanted to put OPC on Lagos State payroll for security provision. There was outrage and the Lagos State House supported him.

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR Tinubu covered up the OPC genocides of 2002 (the same thing he did in Lekki toll gate against #EndSARS protesters). It was painful for everyone, including Yorubas, but Tinubu will not let OPC members be punished appropriately in the Lagos courts.

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR Until Fashola replaced Tinubu, OPC was a menace in Lagos & the South West. This is the Legacy of Tinubu. Forget all the stories of keeping Lagos safe. It was almost a yearly festival of bloodbath mainly by OPC against non indigenes & indigenes who questioned Tinubu.

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR All of these show that when Tinubu said he didn't believe in one Nig, he meant it.
It is either he had no capacity to truly stop OPC (may be they blackmailed him) or he doesn't want to stop them. Each of these scenarios isn't the background we want for a Nigerian President.

@TolulopeAbeey @DailyPostNGR Let us show understanding to IPoB by genuinely listening to their grievances. It may be that those grievances are things we can easily solve. By so doing, we'll extinguish their agitation. The same applies to all other agitators in Nig.

This is why Peter Obi is appealing to me.
