“Eledumare has rewarded all our efforts, either physically or spiritually, transforming the image of the OPC from the bad to a group of good and patriotic Nigerians and thus becoming the most vibrant organisation in the Southwest,” he said.

Meanwhile, Aare expressed dissatisfaction over the entrenchment of foreign culture in all facets, adding that it has done more harm than good; hence, the need to change the narrative.
