Why I Can’t Die Young As Aare Ona Kakanfo – Gani Adams

The national leader of Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Chief Gani Adams has assured that he will not die untimely as it is superstitious to the position of Are Ona Kakanfo, he recently assumed.

The last Aare Ona Kakanfo was Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, the renowned business-politician who died in his middle age.

Since 1998, the laudable position in Yorubaland has been left vacant.

Speaking yesterday, October 21, the new generalissimo, Adams has restated why he won’t die like his predecessors.

“Let me say that death belongs to God. Only God can decide and determine when anyone can die and until God decides, I will not die young as the defender of my people,” he affirmed.

Contrary to superstition, Adams also argued that deaths of past Aare can be more connected to the cause they fought.

However, the modern structure doesn’t really make war prevalent like before.

“Aare title is highly spiritual and I have handed over my
destiny and tenure to God.

“The position in the past meant that you have to
continually fight wars to protect your people, and may be killed in the process, but that was before Nigeria became a sovereign nation.

“The job in the modern era is limited in terms of physical defense because there are security apparatus to settle disputes.

“However, it has become a position to unify the Yoruba race, defend their interest and believe in their cause”, Gani Adams ended.
