Adeyanju Claims Obi and Kwankwaso Support Tinubu's Agenda

Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju accused Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, and his running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso of working for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Adeyanju made this claim in a post on 𝕏, suggesting that Obi and Kwankwaso are repeating their political roles from the 2023 election.

He warned voters against supporting them, stating, “A vote for them is a vote for Bola Tinubu and the APC.” In the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu, representing the All Progressives Congress, won with 8,794,726 votes, while Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party received 6,984,520 votes, and Obi came third with 6,101,533 votes. Currently, Obi and Kwankwaso are running together under the Nigeria Democratic Congress, with Obi as the presidential candidate and Kwankwaso as his running mate.

Adeyanju's comments followed Obi's remarks in Enugu, where he expressed respect for President Tinubu despite their political differences.
