A pro-Yoruba women group, Yoruba Women in Government (YWIG), has risen in condemnation of the Aare Onakankafo of Yoruba Land, Aare Gani Adams over his recent call on the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Adamu to redeploy the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mrs. Ngozi Onadeko over rising insecurity in the state.
The group alleged that the call by Gani Adams was not only a threat to peace and security in the state, but also an obstruction of justice, distortion facts, accusing him of embarking on a campaign of blackmail.
The women group in a statement in Osogbo, signed by its Chairperson, Chief Fumilayo Adesanwo, said the Group would not fold its arms and allow Gani Adams to rubbish the good name and excellent track record Mrs. Ngozi Onadeko has built over the years.
They also tongue-lashed him for his apparent disregard for law and order, saying “Gani Adams and his co-travellers are behaving like a pack of juveniles. They don’t mean well for this country.”
While praising Onadeko for her extraordinary courage and absolute understanding of security issues in Oyo State, YWIG accused Adams of pushing the real issues aside and employing sentiments and blackmail to explain the security situation in the state.
The women underscored the shameful show of power, uncivilised tactics and the abuse of the rights of citizens.
They condemned what they termed the uncouth language, arrogant demeanor and use of brute force by Gani Adams and members of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC).
“Gani Adams did not put on his thinking garb before calling for the redeployment of the police commissioner. He is misinforming the people.”
