He said instead of lobbying traditional rulers peacefully and getting their buy-in, Igboho is focusing on propaganda.
Reacting in a statement made available to journalists in Lagos, the Lagos state OPC chieftain picked holes in the statements credited to CNG, through its spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, who he described as a featherweight.
Adams, who paid a private visit to Makinde, said that discussions centred on issues related to the security and economy of the South-West.
According to information available to The Eagle Online, the detained OPC members were granted administrative bail by the police
While there are media reports that the men have been transferred to Abuja, some sources in the OPC said they do not know the whereabouts of the detained operatives.

Adams stated this on Friday while speaking with newsmen on the recent protest of the Amalgamated Food Sellers in the northern part of the country, with the blockage of foods to the South West.
The group under the supervision of the Oyo State coordinator of the Gani Adams-led OPC, Comrade Rotimi Olumo, also made huge progress with the arrest of the Second-in-Command to dreaded kidnapper, Wakilu, Isiaka Muhammadu.
Speaking against the backdrop of the recent encroachment of Prof. Wole Soyinka’s Ijegba, Abeokuta, Ogun State residence by herders, Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, said the manner of the encroachment was largely a threat to the privacy of the Nobel laureate.
He said this on Tuesday in an Instagram Live Chat with a popular journalist, Dele Momodu.
Rising at the end of the highly technical meeting attended by all leaders and top delegates of the 17 European countries, where the OPU is currently established across Europe, the group expressed its displeasure at the present spate of insecurity in the country, lamenting that the ship of state appears to be rudderless as insecurity, banditry, Boko Haram Terrorists and Fulani herdsmen all appear to be having a field day
The group also warned the Nigerian Government against arresting leading Yoruba Nationalists, especially Adams and the disputed President-General of the Yoruba World Congress, Prof. Banji Akintoye.
Adams said this in a statement by his Media Office on Wednesday, adding that the recent development poses great danger to the security of the entire South West.
