Ogori Professional Progressive Union Defends Major General Akerejola Against Allegations
Joel Ajayi
In a robust response to recent allegations against Major General Akerejola, the Ogori Professional Progressive Union (OPPU) has issued a statement defending the integrity and legacy of the esteemed military leader. The union’s statement comes in light of accusations of financial misconduct and abuse of office, which they describe as unfounded and motivated by personal vendettas.
The OPPU’s rejoinder, titled “In Defense of Honour, In Pursuit of Truth,” emphasizes the importance of protecting the reputation of a man who has dedicated decades to serving Nigeria and its Armed Forces. “A man’s legacy, earned through decades of sacrifice, cannot be undone by petty grievances disguised as whistleblowing,” the statement reads, highlighting the organization’s commitment to justice and truth.
The union specifically called out Major Fimihan Akerejola, who has previously made similar accusations against his namesake. The OPPU urged Major Fimihan to publicly distance himself from the current allegations, stating, “If he has no hand in this malicious narrative, let him say so boldly and openly. Silence, at this point, is complicity.”
While Major General Akerejola has chosen to refrain from pursuing legal action thus far, the OPPU made it clear that they are prepared to take legal steps against anyone who continues to defame him. “As an organization grounded in justice, honour, and collective dignity, we are prepared to initiate legal action against any individual or group that continues to defame, slander, or malign his name or the values we uphold,” the statement asserted.
The OPPU’s message resonated with a call to the community, urging all Ogori sons and daughters, as well as Nigerians of good will, to stand for truth and fairness. “Our heroes deserve more than whispers in the dark—they deserve our open, unyielding defense,” the statement emphasized.
In closing, the OPPU reminded those spreading rumors that “You may strike at reputation, but you cannot bury truth. And when justice speaks, it will be loud enough for history to hear.”The statement concludes.
