“Prayer to Almighty God is one event that reflects our beliefs in the power of prayers and the unequal ability of God, the Supreme Being in all our affairs.
“With this programme, it is my belief that God’s blessing for national rebirth is in earnest.
Banmeke, however, charged all members of the OPC to rekindle their hope in the progress of Yoruba land, adding that this year’s edition of Olokun/Olosa festival will set Nigeria and the South West region free from both spiritual and cultural bondage.
In his sermon, Sheikh Abdul Mumeen Saliu, who is the Founder of Al-Ameen School of Arabic Teachings said God has used the OPC to change the story of Yoruba race, insisting that members should remain committed to the ideals of the organization as that, he said is part of faith in God and in the service of humanity.
“God didn’t like betrayers. Once we have agreed on a just cause, it is the duty of everybody to remain firm on the cause. That is why I am appealing to all members of the OPC to stand firm behind the Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams for them to fulfill the dream of the Yoruba race.
Meanwhile, Primate Prophet Peter Oyewole from the C& S Church, Agbojesu Ijedodo, spoke about true love among members, saying God is fulfilling great purposes with the OPC.
Those that have denigrated the OPC as an organization of vagabonds can now testify to the blessing of God in the organization.
“OPC will continue to be a blessing to Yorubaland, and to Nigeria because the Yoruba socio-cultural organization is doing the will of God.
An Ifa chief Priest, Chief Raimi Anipupo, advised members of the OPC not to lose focus as the light of cultural rejuvenation.
Present at the event are members of the National Executive Council and National Coordinating Council of the OPC, the Olokun Festival Planning Committee, and members of OPC from the local governments in Lagos state.
