Saturday, August 30, 2025 - Lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has once again taken a swipe at politician, Peter Obi, describing him as a political ‘’fraud and prost!tute''.
He was on Channels TV this morning to speak on the letter
Obi sent to him threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against him.
During the interview, Deji accused Peter Obi of inviting him
to a private location during the 2023 campaign period and offered him money
just to support him. He said he declined the offer.
‘’In the
wake up to the 2023 elections, I was expressing my thoughts on why the
opposition should come together and unite against the criminal APC and
‘’rogueish'' APC government that will always rig election and that if the
opposition is divided, there is no way they can win.
The idea of
the Obi candidacy excited me and I said that he needed the buy in of Atiku and
Kwankwaso. I even urged Kwankwaso to deputy Obi and urged Atiku to step down
for Peter Obi and all that.
In the
process of expressing my views, I said Atiku has been running for president in
perpetuity. I was just expressing my views as a Nigerian.
Then Peter
Obi all of a sudden started to reach out to me to meet me. At the time I was in
Dubai or somewhere. He was persistent in reaching out to me and I was avoiding
him because I didn't want it to look like because I expressed my views which
seemed to be like in his favor, he now wants to corner me to be one of his
supporters. I did not want to join the bandwagon.
I was
excited about the idea of Peter Obi because the South East had not produced the
President in a very long time except after post independent.
So one of
his aides reached out to me and we met. First he commended me for some of my
views and said it will be exciting to work together. I said no I am not working
with anybody. I now made some observations about the things he has been accused
of doing in the past. He tried to explain and I was not satisfied.
I didn't
want to disrespect him and I wanted to leave. Then he got into a room and said
he has something for me. He brought one envelope or something like that. He
said this is just a small something for coming. I laughed and said ‘’that means
you do not know me. And you are friends with former governor Mimiko? You should
have asked them about me. If we will do anything, it is because of conviction.
It is even me that will bring out of my money and support you. He kept
insisting that he is not like that. I said God forbid and left.
I never
revealed what happened to anyone''
He said fast forward to the period Ekiti governorship
election, he had called Obi for travelling to Egypt when he is supposed to be
in the state to campaign for the Labour party candidate.
Adeyanu said that some of Obi’s close aide later alleged
that the reason he was criticizing Obi is because the former Anambra governor
turned down a proposal of N200 million Deji brought to Obi.
‘’I observed
the pattern about them. They insult people, slander people. His Obidient mob
were practically uncontrollable during the last election. I said Okay, this
people do not want dissent of any kind or criticism of their candidate, I now
said I am now going to leave Tinubu alone and now face him because we cannot
have a situation in our country where political extremism becomes the order of
the day and Nigerians are living witnesses to the things that happened in the
build up of the last election.
We have
never had this kind of toxic political experience asides the Burahists. Asides
the Buharists, the Obidients are the most toxic political movement we have ever
witnessed in this country. They threatened Supreme Court judges, Court of
Appeal judges, threatened artistes, threatened Professor Wole Soyinka, insulted
everybody in this country because of Peter.
What are the
things I said? Everything I said is true? In a civil suit of defamation, truth
is a defence. What are the things I said? He is a political fraud. Of course he
is. Didin't he swear that he will never leave APGA, that any day he leaves
APGA,let something happen to him..he left APGA. The only thing I forgot to say
is that he is a political prosti!tute''
