The Labour Party has accused activist Deji Adeyanju of blackmailing Peter Obi, interim national publicity secretary LP Prince Tony Akeni stated. Adeyanju is criticized for allegedly pursuing personal ambitions without principles and attacking Obi to gain political relevance ahead of the 2027 elections.
