Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has claimed that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), presidential candidate Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, are working for President Bola Tinubu.
Adeyanju urged Nigerians not to vote for Obi in 2027 because such votes are for Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Posting on X, the activist lawyer wrote: “Peter Obi and Kwankwaso are working for Tinubu like they did in 2023. Don’t waste your votes again on them like 2023.
“A vote for them is a vote for Bola Tinubu and the APC. They know exactly what they are doing.”
Contrary to Adeyanju’s claim, Obi ran for the presidency under the platform of the Labour Party, LP, while Kwankwaso was the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, presidential candidate.
While Tinubu won the election, Obi came third behind the then Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar.
Meanwhile, Obi recently said he will never abuse or disrespect President Tinubu.

Speaking in Enugu, Obi said: “I’ve never abused anybody. Who has seen me calling President Tinubu’s name? Never! I will not do that. He’s the President of the country, he has all my respect.”
Alex Otti, the governor of Abia State, has reaffirmed his 2020 remarks against the way former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi handled $155 million during his tenure.
When asked about the comment, Otti said that it was written on June 8, 2020, in an interview with Arise Television.
He said the remark was meant to show that public servants could manage government finances responsibly.
“They are referring to what I wrote in 2020. I think that was June 8, 2020. I was using it to prove that it’s still possible for people to be prudent in government.
“It’s an account of what happened. And I had said that as the CEO of the bank at that time, he was going to leave the money in naira, and when he came to me and I said no, this naira you want to keep, naira will keep losing value.
“So you probably want to convert it to dollars, and it was converted.
So it’s a statement of fact, and it’s something that happened several years ago, six years ago. So I haven’t spoken again, and so that’s what they are referring to,” Otti said.
