Gani Adams

National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday congratulated the National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, Gani Adams, over his appointment as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland.

In a statement signed by his Media Office, Tinubu noted that the OPC leader deserved the honour.

He said he has continued to fight for the interest of the Yoruba race.

In a letter addressed to Adams dated October 17, 2017, Tinubu said, “Dear Otunba, I congratulate you on your appointment as the next Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland.

“With this, you have joined the elite rank of generalissimos in Yorubaland.

“You deserve this honour. You have a heart of steel. You have never left anyone in doubt about your resolve and readiness to fight for and defend the interest of Yoruba race.

“In Yorubaland, particularly in the old Oyo Empire, the position of Aare Ona Kakanfo has always been a significant one.

“You are now the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo. Going through the list of those who have occupied the position, you come with an extra youth, vigour and vitality, which would be an added advantage as you forge ahead in the service of our people.

“I rejoice with you and wish you well as you assume this leadership mantle”.

While addressing Alaafin, Tinubu said, “May I congratulate you Kabiyesi, Iku Baba Yeye, over the appointment of Otunba Gani Adams as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland.

“You have accomplished another important task. You have broken the 19 years hiatus in picking another nominee for this prestigious title.

“Otunba Gani Adams’ appointment comes after the demise of the last occupant of the office, Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the June 12 election, who died in incarceration in 1998.

“I commend you Kabiyesi for the thorough search which produced the Oodua People’s Congress Leader as the next occupant.”
