Speaking on the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of ANLCA, which is expected to take place on Wednesday, the Oodua President urged all license members to embrace peace and attend the AGM in order to air their view.
He stressed that, “we were forced to call for this press briefing. We know that for almost four years now, our brothers in ANLCA have been in crisis with each other which almost claims life, a lot of money spent, time wasted. Oodua descendants’ freight forwarders global association has been watching and studying the situation with keen interest, we have made steps to have meeting with some of our elders on the issue, but we were stylishly turned down”.
“How long should we continue to live in crisis, we should remember the sons of whom we are. We called for this press briefing to let Oodua sons and daughters know what is going on among their sons in ANLCA that has negatively affected thousands of freight forwarders, and the steps we are about to take in the settlement/reconciliation process.
“As we have taken a step today in the reconciliation process, we implore them to embrace peace and attend the coming AGM to air their views, while we on our path will continue with our reconciliation moves among the elders.
“It is our belief that, if we are at peace, ANLCA will be peaceful. We have between now and 3 April to find a solution to the crises. The reconciliation committee that will be constituted will commence a reconciliation meeting from Monday 20th-3 April, with the following people” he said.
