FOUNDER
of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Dr Frederick Fasehun, on Wednesday in Lagos
promised hell for Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) if the party continues to
lie against him and his group as it did on the alleged N2.4billion contract to
protect of pipelines in the South-West zone.
This is as Fasehun, who is chairman of the
Committee for the Resuscitation of Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), tasked
spokesman of ACN, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, to release the alleged approved
N2.4billion contract papers if they were in his possession as the OPC had not
won any contract.
Mohammed had in a statement alleged that Dr
Fasehun applied and secured N2.4billion contracts in the name of OPC to secure
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipeline in the South-West.
He further alleged that the founder of OPC,
Fasehun was trying to use part of the proceeds to resuscitate the UPN and
destabilise the region.
Speaking at the maiden meeting of the UPN
chieftains from across the country, Fasehun, while noting that the ACN was
looking for trouble, however, assured that the OPC would not go out of its way
to cause trouble.
According to the OPC founder, the statement
credited to Mohammed was a lie.
The chairman of Committee for Resuscitation
of UPN said it was true that the OPC applied for the contracts in 2010, but was
only invited last year by the NNPC who said the organisation was not a
registered body and would, therefore, have nothing to do with it.
