In its continuing bid to rebrand, the frontline Yoruba umbrella cultural organisation, Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) has entered a working relationship with one of Nigeria’s leading retail banks, Union Bank Nigeria Plc.

“We will work with the national executive of the OPC to change the image of the organisation. We are looking at meaningful ways of sustaining members of the OPC in their different trades and helping those who have acquired a skill to maximise its use. Together, we can create wealth.”

Suing for peace among contending Yoruba groups, an Ibadan High Chief, Lekan Alabi, regretted that Yorubas have suffered a setback in their economic and political advancement, owing to friction within the ethnic group. He said, “The OPC must unite and then harness its efforts with other Nigerian ethnic groups to ensure fairness and equality without which the country cannot make enviable progress.”
